Vikes won on the DL - New England Patriots Forums

Their DL was the difference.

Ohh what a pass rush and pressure can do for a team. Its not the number of sacks but constant pressure and NOT sitting back waiting to react .

We know, we know, Our pass rush sucks and Im not a fan of our scheme either.

The Cowboys have an outstanding front 7 as well. Why did they let up 34 I thought only terrible defenses like ours got lit up like that

With Ray Edwards, Pat Williams, Kevin Williams, Jared Allen, they probably have the best D Line in the NFL. But the rest of the defense pretty much sucks, so, they aren't that good

They didnt get to the QB, the Vikes did.

So often the Vikings can send just their front 4 and get more pressure than most teams get rushing everybody in the box!

It makes them quite fun to watch....and also makes me jealous!!

We've won with a read and react defense. We need a better pass rush but you can absolutely win the way we play.

This is true, I just wasn't aware that a good defense could give up 34 points. I thought terrible defenses like ours were the only ones that were capable of such deed.

If only Ray Edwards wasn't inconsistant. When he is on his game, the defensive line is nasty. Kevin Williams can lay the smack down on QBs, and Pat Williams has good lateral ability and is phenomenal at reading and stopping screens. Our backups Brian Robison and Jimmy Kennedy can both get after the QB (especially Robison). And everyone knows Jared Allen.

Oh yeah we can certainly with with our Defense but were do you think a pass rush can be had overnight without a tweak in scheme?
