Don’t be afraid to use different packages
Vikings should make sure they’re at least comfortable enough with all their personnel to be able to use different formations.
The Vikings should have a good enough third linebacker so they can use a 4-3. They should have a good enough nickel to be able do that.
The team also hired Dom Capers, who has been known to use a 3-4 and work in creative blitz packages with linebackers.
It will be interesting to see how the Vikings look on defense next year — in terms of their players and their different alignments.
