Without Horn we cannot play bump and run man to man, and without Horn we cannot hold team long enough for our pass rush to get home. Maybe Gilmore helps with that next week. 

We also just played trash-tier teams when Horn was on the field. Our defensive woes have more to do with the level of competition than it does with Horn being out.

I hope so. I’m sure they can’t wait to get him on the field. Not sure what will help our run D though.

We are missing Shaq….and burns not getting it done

We miss playing against rookies making their nfl debut....and Winston.

Live look at Burns

Vikings had only 2 “sustained” scoring drives in 4 quarters. Everything other time they scored came off great field position due to turnovers. 

 

The defense is exhausted carrying this garbage offense

Cousins slicing us through the air is what fuging kills me

...its a process...

On the bright side, Keith Taylor balled out! With him and Kenny Robinson coming along, our secondary is seriously stacked!

Zero pass rush for three straight games doesn’t help

And when a pass rush is there it doesn't help to have your DE dodge the QB like he's a land mine.

If the key to the defense is a promising rookie CB that had never been tested then the defense has more issues than people want to look at.

It’s because they went hurry up and the staff didn’t know how to adjust… really sad if you think about it.

They were in zone this entire game. Horn being out negates our supposed strength of being able to man up. Again, Gilmore may help this next week. But our vaunted pas rush has been invisible the past 3 weeks. We’ve got 2 more sacks than we had after week 3. Not good.
