Currently, no team in the NFL is on a hotter streak than Minnesota. Their recent success isn’t just about securing wins but also the dominant way they’ve been doing so.
Sam Darnold is delivering his finest performances to date, and his collaboration with head coach Kevin O’Connell has been incredibly effective. Even more remarkable than the offensive strides is the standout play of their defense.
In light of this, Dallas Cowboys’ defensive star Micah Parsons gave a nod to Brian Flores (via B/R Gridiron). During an episode of his podcast, Parsons praised Flores for his innovative blitz schemes and the variety of defensive looks he presents to opponents.
He admitted that he’s been following Flores’ work for some time and expressed that Flores is the type of defensive coordinator he’d love to team up with. While this may not be the most strategic comment for a player on a team struggling defensively, it highlights Parsons’ candid nature.
Parsons isn’t one to filter his thoughts or worry about potential backlash, so he won’t be fazed by any rumors suggesting he wants to join the Vikings. Regardless of the chatter, his praise for Flores is well-founded.
Flores is undeniably one of the brightest defensive minds in the league, though his ongoing lawsuit against the NFL could complicate any future head coaching opportunities for him.
