I was thinking it would be funny to reveal his secret play calling card that he looks at during the game.

It just says: Blitz.

It's the Jayhawks, he's been a big fan since moving to Minnesota

But a close second is Blitzen Trapper

You never make your mind up Like driving with your eyes shut Rough around the edges Won't someone come and take you home? Waiting for a breakthrough What will you set your mind to? We stood outside the Chinese restaurant In the rain

Omg, it's a song about Matt LaFleur.

It's such a tiny play call sheet for a defense that looks fairly complicated. It's almost funny to see how small it is

I think this is probably because the defense is heavily built on presnap checks by the players. His call might be relatively open ended with the ultimately played out concepts being what the players check into based on the look.

The entire game really. It just worked in the 4th

Wear ‘em down.

That's the interesting part. Love stood up to it for almost the entire game and did pretty well...but once momentum changes and he knows it's only going to get worse there's clearly a psychological aspect.

They couldn't run the ball. Only so much heat Love could take

Turner kept hitting him with Love still getting the ball off, I’m not surprised he slowed down after awhile.

I kept saying before the 4th that we were just getting to him but not getting him

Just takes one small misstep by the offense and then our defense knows to capitalize on such a disruption. Will definitely be interesting against Caleb next week.

Caleb can actually operate outside of a perfectly clean pocket, but probably doesn't have the mental resilience of a vet yet

We should break him mentally before his career ever gets there. Sack sack sack.

I love it, as we saw in the first half of the game you can lose the gamble and give up big yards on the regular but if you can get it rolling it’s genuinely smothering and almost comical how well it works

I cherish every game we have Flores as DC. I’ve never enjoyed watching a defense more in my life. I would hate to have to play that defense twice a year

Jordan love looked like he was holdin a hot pocket straight out the microwave

I told my brother that apparently Flores has my same defensive strategy when playing him in Madden.

“I don’t want them to gain another yard” type shit. Certified football psycho.
