It’s only preseason, but Saturday’s game against the Cardinals should be a pretty valuable one for the Vikings defense.
They’ll get the test of dual-threat, rookie quarterback Kyler Murray.
“I’ll tell you, this guy can really get out and run and is very efficient in throwing the football,” Vikings defensive coordinator George Edwards said Wednesday. “We’ve got to be good in our rush plan this week to make sure he’s not out scrambling a bunch and also do a good job with coverage underneath. We always say, pass rush and coverage go hand in hand so we have to do a great job in both departments right there to keep him bottled up.”
Murray will keep the Vikings’ defense on its toes and is the type of quarterback the Vikings have had trouble with over the years. We’ll see if that trend continues on Saturday.
