vike daddy Posted February 22, 2018 Share Posted February 22, 2018 DeFilippo: "You're going to see us try and create as many mismatches as we can with the guys that can make a play with the ball in their hand." "I was planning on staying in Philadelphia, until Minnesota called." http://www.vikings.com/media-vault/videos/1-on-1-With-Offensive-Coordinator-John-DeFilippo/30932197-eece-4bb1-8afd-aeba42eb67f2?sf182721498=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gnat Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I've missed all of this discussion. My non-informed two cents worth. I like this signing better than most of the other ones that were being thrown around. We'll see how it turns out for the Vikings, but I think it'll like be seen as a smart move, and hopefully we can have him around for a handful of years.

vike daddy Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 If if Philadelphia Eagles’ offense is any indication of DeFilippo’s plans, we can expect the ball to be spread around. Philly’s four receivers had 62, 57, 36 and 16 receptions while tight end Zach Ertz led the team with 74 grabs. http://www.1500espn.com/vikings-2/2018/03/wright-fit-free-agent-wr-kendall-wright-makes-sense-vikings/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule Posted March 30, 2018 Share Posted March 30, 2018 Hard to compare the two situations without assessing Wentz's and Keenum's ability to go through progressions. We know that Keenum had a tendency to ignore open receivers to throw the ball to the intended target given play design. Not sure if Wentz struggled with the same issue and what that means for the Vikes new offense. I'd hope to get more production from WR3, just didn't seem that Keenum looked that way.

Is that not something expected to come over from Philly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Coach Mike Zimmer sounded more than pleased by the hire he made, his third offensive coordinator in the past three seasons. Zimmer: "It's really been seamless." https://kfan.iheart.com/featured/vikings-blog/content/2018-06-15-cousins-vikings-head-into-summer-break-with-more-to-learn-kfan-1003-fm/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 Adam Thielen was on NFL Radio and it was interesting to hear him talk about the difference between DeFillipo’s offense and Pat Shurmur’s. Apparently, Shurmur never really introduced a new offense, he kept Turner’s offense, verbiage, etc. in place, and added a few new wrinkles. DeFillipo is implementing a whole new offense. New verbiage, new formations, etc. while keeping a few select plays from the old offense. Sort of the opposite of what a lot of people have speculated over the past two years.

vike daddy Posted June 16, 2018 Share Posted June 16, 2018 yet it's been seamless... Zimmer, again, hires a tutor, a teacher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was said on Paul Allen’s show that most of Shurmurs “stuff” was all still Turners plays and such, the key was more just the play calling, it went from long developing play call after play call to getting the ball out of the QB’s hands. Either way I am very excited to see how DeFlippo’s offense turns out to look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swede700 Posted June 18, 2018 Share Posted June 18, 2018 The only issue I see then is that it's probably going to take a little while into the season for the whole thing to really get going. Therefore, the defense is going to need to be top-notch out of the gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really hope DeFillipo goes Zimmer on some of his HC-interviews next offseason and gets passed over at least once more haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be at its best by mid season wouldn’t surprise me, but with the talent the team is carrying on the offense, I still expect above average play without a doubt.
