In this episode of Two Old Bloggers with Darren Campbell and Dave Stefano, the focus is on the struggling Vikings defense and the potential demotion of Alexander Mattison, plus the week 4 preview of the Vikings vs. Panthers.
The first theme discusses the disappointment surrounding the Vikings' defense under defensive coordinator Brian Flores. Despite his aggressive approach, the defense has not shown significant improvement, giving up nearly 400 yards and high 20s in points per game. Comparisons are made to the performance under previous coordinator Ed Donatell in 2022, revealing that the defense is giving up more points and similar yardage.
