swede700 Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 Here's the comment from Chad Graff (The Athletic): Quote Mike Zimmer said today that Dom Capers will essentially be a consultant. Here's what Zimmer said: "His role will be more of kind of an overseer, an idea person. Maybe the corners should play this way or maybe we should play defensive line a little differently. Just things like that, really. It’s more of another guy, like a consultant that can come in and – we’ve been running this defense for a long, long, long time and I just thought it’d be good to get some new, fresh ideas." Which sort of means that we may see some 3-4ish looks from the defense which we haven't seen before. Just some wrinkles...which may be a good thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RpMc Posted February 12, 2020 Share Posted February 12, 2020 The defense needs fresh eyes on it - even if it's not full on new wrinkles, we could see some tweaks to techniques, leverages, and disguising that should help to freshen up some potentially stale concepts.

I actually like it in this context, would hate it if he were calling plays. What The Vikings will need IF Rhodes AND Waynes, or Rhodes AND Alexander are gone is a mentor to help Hughes, Hill, Alexander, and the drafted cornerback, and whichever of the young cornerbacks are playing, to learn to play their positions as solidly as possible. I'm guessing THAT's the main reason he was hired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having Nick Collins and Charles Woodson, and Peak Tramon Williams will do that for ya. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still an impressive feat worth mentioning. I don't see the massive downside to this like some do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikesfan89 Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 I always thought it would be nice to get another experienced defensive coach in the room. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VikeManDan Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Based on what I've heard about his role, I like this hire. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
