and Rob. Rob says where do you think the Vikings defense will rank this season with Flores

0:28.8

his second year with the team? So this is a hard question because last year they over achieved and ended

0:38.7

up with pretty good numbers defensively and I think that some of that also had to deal with, they played some

0:45.2

quarterbacks who were really bad.

0:47.5

Aid and O'Connell was really bad and scored zero points.

0:50.8

And that helped.

0:51.8

That helped even out the lions. It helped even out the lions it helped even out the Cincinnati game where they did have some tough moments there

playing a team that has a backup quarterback or a young quarterback.

1:56.3

Your chances to win Skyrocket versus playing, and this is not a hot take, but especially Sky Rockets

because of the way he plays and how rarely you see that

in the NFL.

2:08.4

So if you are another team and you're

preparing on a weekly basis for this, that, and the other thing, and then you see Flores' defense is totally different, and you're not an experienced quarterback who's seen it before, it's a nightmare for you, as opposed to, you know to maybe if it's just a regular type of
