The Vikings' new defensive system under Brian Flores is starting to take hold after limiting the Panthers to just six offensive points in Week 4.
. Smith had 14 tackles, two for loss, three sacks, three quarterback hits and a forced fumble during the game, becoming the first player in NFL history to have three or more sacks, 14 combined tackles and a forced fumble in one outing.
And it's because the Vikings are getting used to Flores' new system. Flores puts an extreme amount of responsibility on his players — especially the veterans. He told me back in September that his defense would go through both Smith and linebacker"We try to equip them with enough tools to put themselves in the best positions and I think some of the older players kind of gravitate to that and really enjoy it because it's fun for them," said Flores in September.
Hunter has five sacks already this season. Smith now has three. The team as a whole has 11, which is two more than last year at this time. Hunter also leads the team in pressures of any kind with 13 on the season.We're also not seeing a drop-off in creativity by Flores even with Hunter and now Davenport. The Vikings are doing wild things on defense in the name of getting pressure.
