Eagle Eye: Defense's Chance At Redemption
On Thursday, I took a long look into why Mike Zimmer’s defensive scheme is so effective thanks to his use of Double A-gap pressure. Let’s now flip the script to a coach who is just as respected around the league on the other side of the ball, Minnesota offensive coordinator Norv Turner, who has been coaching at a high level for the better half of two decades. Turner is as "pro style" as "pro style" gets for offensive football. He uses lots of different personnel groupings, particularly with running backs, fullbacks and tight ends. He wants to be able to run the football and use play-action off of that. He also wants to be able to attack downfield.
