They'll give you the short stuff, but they rely on sound tackling by the CBs to stop those short passes from gaining any YAC.

Keep in mind that Guenther came up under Zimmer and Zim wanted him as DC for the Vikings. Of course, Marv always has his say with our defense as well. I don't think the defense has changed much from the Zimmer days, and it's still highly effective. Btw...Coyle was the secondary coach for most of Zimmer's tenure.

I know that about Coyle, and maybe it was largely Joseph that did such a better job of this compared to Coyle, but it drove me nuts to see them give rookie QBs easy short passes all day long and never adapt.
