Purple somehow looks good on Leslie Frazier, the old Bear who has become the defensive coordinator of the Vikings....

he should like us after what we did yesterday

Frazier has installed a variety of new blitz packages. That doesn't mean the Vikings necessarily will blitz more, they'll just blitz differently.

And it looks like it's working to perfection.

Since that's who he's working for, I would hope he was taking a liking to the Vikes.

Apparently that's not a given in this day and age.

But we must just consider ourselves one of the luckier teams in the league.

And I think we will get to keep him for a few years before his name starts being mentioned as a head coach.
That is a huge plus.
I knew we would lose Tomlin after a year or 2.
He has been on a fast track for promotions for quite some time.

I like Frazier

People are bashing Frazier because they didn't liked the D of Indy, and that it was impossible to replace Tomlin but what they forget is that Tomlin was also New plus Frazier is helping out the DB's much more which including our front 4 and LB's is going to be a huge Defence.

[size=13pt]Vikings: 'You like the ones that win'[/size]

New Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier isn't as flashy as Mike Tomlin, but he has his players' respect because he's making them better.

At training camp in Mankato, Minn., this year, the Vikings' defensive sideline was still bubbly and boisterous....

Good read Singer thanks. This D, will be a dominant one, and it will allow our young developing offense time to find itself. More turnovers and shorter fields will keep the pressure of T-Jack. We are coming in under the radar, and it's gonna be too late for that wake-up call for teams on our first part of the schedule. Skol!~
