I’m noticing we are literally 1/4 of a second from catching a pass without being interfered. That tells me either the route needs to be more crisp or the ball needs to come out 1/4 second faster or both. That part will get better with time and experience with Receivers.I noticed Cousins was very effective on “out” routes run toward the sideline but just 1/2 yard past the 1st marker. They must’ve thrown that play 5 times. They were exploiting our D zone coverage pretty efficiently. Many cases we had Q covering a 195lb WR. I like Q, but he’s a mismatch for a WR who runs a 4.45 40 running across the field on a crossing route. You could also tell how their TE manipulated our Zones to find pockets. He was Wide open on several plays where he wouldn’t have been in Man. [ATTACH=full]19579[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]19580[/ATTACH]The Vikings countered it with a bunch formation. Then sent 2 guys deeper and inside and it would leave our lone Defender covering his 1/3 but their TE would just get small and turn towards the open sideline as far as we allowed.  They only needed 1 yard here and we let them run free for over 10 yards?  What’s that about. On 3rd n 1 we should be expecting a shorter pass and attacking.</blockquote>
