Getting Mychal Kendricks back is HUGE

Kendricks is eligible to play the rest of the season, starting Monday night against the Vikings.

I sure hope so this defense gives up chunk plays at a very high rate.

Calitro is playing great atm too!

Yeah, really hoping this gives the D a boost. They're still doing OK, but just OK.

Too many chunk plays, too many long runs, too many receivers running free in the backfield.

Wagner could use some help in the front 7.

He’s much needed at this point.

Griffin needs some help.. he is playing horrible! I am not sure why they couldn't just leave him on the right side and let flower learn the Left.

Agreed. Huge addition.

Flowers needs to be more consistent with his tackling. He pretty much saved the game against Carolina with a great tackle, but looked horrible tackling today.

You take away some of those big chunk plays and we are a top 10 defense.

8th in scoring defense — 21.6 points per game allowed.

I have my doubts as to whether we can succeed in the playoffs with as poor a defensive showing as we put against one of the league's worst offenses today, and the previous week versus Carolina. Stats and rankings be damned.

Allowing repeated 80-yard drives is more significant than stopping them at the 1. The former is unsustainable and will break against QB's better than Mullens (who was actually pretty decent). It HAS done just that against Jared Goff, twice.

Agreed. Getting carved up by Mullens (400+ yards!) doesn't give me a warm fuzzy feeling.

I can tell you this.....the Vikings are not looking forward to next Monday Night!!! :drool:

Lots of garbage time yards... Its all context... I agree the D is the weak link but we were a play or two both times from,beating the rams ... We can play with anyone...

Reading what the Viking fans are saying, they have no faith in their team.

Huge addition to say the least. They really need him in the middle, I'm guessing we will see a fired up guy w/a lot to prove. And with a lot appreciation to be back on the field.
