The Minnesota Vikings have a new defensive coordinator, and their schemes couldn’t be more different.
According to multiple reports, the Vikings will hire Brian Flores as their new defensive coordinator. Flores was most recently the linebackers coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Flores is more known for this time with the Miami Dolphins, though. Over three seasons, he built the Dolphins’ defense into a death star. Whether it was blitzing the life out of the Baltimore Ravens or giving Jared Goff a Sunday to forget, the Dolphins were one of football’s most discussed defenses.
How did Brian Flores do it? By building a scheme that predicates itself on being aggressive and creating havoc plays on defense.
