Brian Robison on Pressuring the QB: 'It's Not Always About Sacks'

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. – The Vikings defense hopes to stay on a roll this Sunday when they host the Texans at U.S. Bank Stadium.

One key to shutting down Houston’s offense will be containing quarterback Brock Osweiler, who signed a four-year contract with the team last spring.

“He’s got a heck of an arm,” defensive end Brian Robison said. “So he’s definitely a deep threat in the passing game.

“When we get him in those passing situations, what we need to do is make sure we get around him, making him nervous in the pocket, and get some hits on him – not allow him to take those shots with those wide receivers out there,” Robison added.
