Let me start by saying I love big mean nose tackles. I don’t know why. It’s not the fashionable position to like, but there it is. I was sad to see Linval Joseph leave but then happy with the arrival of Michael Pierce from the Baltimore Ravens. Except he didn’t arrive. Not for a whole year after Covid happened and Pierce opted out for the 2020 season. Several injuries later, and the 2020 version of the Minnesota Vikings defense was one we would all like to forget.
The interior of the D-Line was particularly bad. I still have nightmares about that game on Christmas Day.
