After last year's Week 2 loss in Philadelphia, we examine three ways the Vikings could tweak their approach against the Eagles on Thursday.

This time around, the Vikings must play tighter to routes, which could occur with Flores’ willingness to play man coverage. They also must do a better job of muddying the picture for Hurts, which seems likely given Flores’ affinity for sending pressure.was talking about Cover 0. The defensive scheme is, in effect, man coverage and is called Cover 0 because there is zero safety help deep. Players in coverage typically will play man-to-man against the receivers, while the other players blitz.

Cousins has long been curious about Cover 0, so much so that last year on the “Manningcast,” he used some of his airtime to ask Peyton Manning about his strategy against it. “I think Zero changes the rules a little bit,” Cousins said. “That ability to go through the progression and read it out and play the way I have often played, they’re removing that option off the table. They’re basically saying, ‘You better pick a guy and throw it.’

“That hasn’t been my way of playing. My way of playing is, ‘I’ll just go through my progression.’ So, when you do get Cover 0, you know that the ball needs to come out sometimes earlier than others, depending on how quickly they’re pressuring and where from depth-wise.”Last year, the Eagles played Cover 0 against the Vikings on six snaps, which was more than they ran it in any other game. The blitzes were effective, too: Cousins went 0-for-6 with an interception against it.

On Tuesday, Jefferson mentioned that counteracting Cover 0 has been a point of emphasis for the Vikings this week. If the offense can prevent these blitzes from generating negative plays — or even turn an overaggressive Philadelphia blitz into an explosive play of its own — the Vikings could handle this game better than last year., the definitive ranking of the NFL’s best 100 players of all time, goes on sale this fall.
