Brian Murphy made an immediate impact in his 1st season as Special Teams Coordinator for the Vikings in 2009 after spending the previous 3 seasons as an assistant coach for the Vikings. The return and coverage units along with the kicking game was a key element in the Vikings NFC North title team that advanced to the NFC Championship game. The 2009 Vikings special teams units ranked #9 in the respected Dallas Morning News analysis by veteran NFL writer Rick Gosselin after finishing #25 in 2008.

Murphy oversaw a group that sent a pair of players to the Pro Bowl- coverage man Heath Farwell and return man Percy Harvin. Farwell returned from knee surgery that cost him all of the 2008 season to resume his leadership role on the special teams. Harvin burst on the scene as a rookie with a pair of kickoff return TDs, setting a Vikings record as the only player with 2 kickoff return scores in a season or a career.

      Baldinger on the 2026 LB Class

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      As long as we have DB, odd man fronts are the way to go for us. We want to line DB up between the guard and tackle (4i-tech) because of how quick he is off the snap and his punch on the guard off the snap. If anyone is wondering why he pretty much has to be doubled (or combo blocked) just about every snap, its because he is lined up in that spot in our odd man front. If we change to an even front, it becomes a lot harder to have DB play the 4i-tech.  Not sure if I would say Evero likes smaller NTs - I wouldn't call Bobby Brown a small NT by any sense. I think we run a 1-tech NT, so they are usually getting double teamed (or combo blocked) by concept alone. I actually think Bobby Brown did a pretty good job of eating blocks and being positionally sound on most runs at him (not his fault we were rocking ass LBs last year + Wharton being god awful). The bigger problem came on the toss plays/outside runs where DB wasn't able to blow it up in the backfield (i.e., the Bills game). Lloyd should help with the run D and getting a rangy LB in the draft will definitely help. There are also some good 1-tech DTs (and 0-techs) that can be instant day 1 starters for us in the draft.
