Uncle Buck Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 This is an interesting article that does make some sense. Zimmer's D has a reputation for keeping opposing QB's off guard by disguising blitzes. According to this article, Eagles O-lineman Lane Johnson says Eagles used "reverse psychology" to beat Vikings' blitzes. If this is the case, Zim will have to change things up to keep them off balance more in the future. http://www.startribune.com/lane-johnson-says-eagles-used-reverse-psychology-to-beat-vikings-blitzes/471941763/?utm_content=buffera7eeb&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 That's not really the case, the biggest difference is that while Zimmer does disguise blitzes, on the road it's easier to pick them up because they can actually talk and pick up blitzing players as compared to at home where that isn't possible. Matthew Coller had some stats on 1500 ESPN Radio. It was something like #3 in pressure at home and #20 or so on the road. So I don't know if it's reverse psychology, but there is something that needs to be done in terms of getting pass rush on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heimdallr Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 No, the Vikings lost because they played terrible football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
