Thread: 'O' Line & Tjack finding his hot recievers will be key

Philly will be bringing the defesive pressure this weekend & our offensive line must bring thier game to a different level.
TJack is going to see a plethra of blitzes & will need to get the time needed to find his recievers.
I also hope the vikes coaching staff has been drilling Tjack over & over again on finding his hot recievers.
There will be big playes to be had against this Philly defense if Tjack plays smart & there will be big plays with his feet if he takes advantage of a aggresive pass rush. I really believe our defense will be ok, it's gonna come down to protection from our offensive line & Tjack playing loose but smart.
We get that then just watch AP run the hell over the Eagles!!!!
Go Vikes!

luckily he does throw a really good slant pass and can role out.
I think if he relaxes and reads his assingment then he will be fine.
i also think the vikes should utilize trap blocking as weall as screens to limit the effect of the blitz.

I think one of the biggest keys to this game will be our progress on first down and of course our ability to run the ball. If we can't run the ball on the Eagles we put a tremendous amount of pressure on Tarvaris Jackson Vs a D-Cordinator who is known as one of the best in History. Its a very intristing matchup, Berrian Vs Samuels is a tough one so I believe Shancoe, Taylor, Wade, and Rice need to elevate there games. Of Coarse the Protection Schemes are gonna be key also, they cannott afford to let Tarvaris sit in the pocket but as a Coach I would plan for some max protections and some shots deep down field.

I find this to be an awesome matchup, should be a really good playoff game.

If the Eagles want to commit to blitzing every down, we have to make them pay.
Play-calling will be key.
We need screens, rolling pockets, draw plays and quick passes like slants and throwing to Shianco and Tahi.
Also those quick passes where the WR takes 2 steps and turns for the ball when in loose coverage.


If the coaches call a good game and TJ can get rid of the ball quickly we could have a big day.

I'm not a big fan of Tahi when he's not blocking. CT could play in the role that Westbrook has in Philly. Like the TD he had against the Cardinals.

Childress with his inner knowledge and Bevell should be able to lay out a good game plan against the Igglz. It is important that we catch them in 1/1 and make them pay. Chester should play a big role in this game, as he is our "Westbrook". The G-men blitzed us 80% of our offensive snaps last week, and that is great practice heading into this game.

One of the better formations will be with two tight ends. Blocking for AP or blocking for the pass, and if the Eagles are wrong on the blitz, Shank will be an easy outlet for TJ if the big play isnt there

Thanks to the New York Giants, Tarvaris Jackson believes he has a pretty good idea of what he's going to face Sunday against Philadelphia.

Holy shit,it must be only hours since new years day and singer must have

"We have never really seen (blitzing) like that before," Jackson said Wednesday. "But it's good because we're playing Philly now. We didn't know it at the time, but now we know that it is pretty much the same defense (and) the same attacking type of mentality — bring a lot of guys. So it was good."


It should help Jackson that Childress and Vikings defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier are former Eagles assistants.

"I know they have a good understanding of what's going on on that side of the ball, and they're going to get us prepared for that," Jackson said.

I thought that same thing as I watched the Iggles dismantle Dallas.
These guys attack, just like the Giants did all game...

Seriously, we just faced a version of the same defense, AND both of our head guys on O and D worked in their systems...WE better have a good gameplan and some nice playcalling!!!
