i can see why this guy made the team. he takes up a lot of space in the trenches which is perfect for our defensive scheme to let our backers and safeties move more freely to make tackles. he is a pretty good run stuffer as well. skol
Some of these comments….not impressed with the undrafted rookie’s snaps in a preseason game. I guess some were expecting to see Sapp Jr, or Randle Jr out there…..from a rookie….in the preseason…. But there is a never ending supply of armchair DLine coaches out there.
Absolutly! He may not make all the tackles if the runner dosnt try to run into his gap but he is doing a good job closing down the gaps and forcing the RB to either break outside or run into a specific gap making it easier for his team mates to make the tackle.. that has tremendous value.. a real run stuffing NT which the Vikings have missed for quite some time.. We have been so bad at stopping the run for the past many season 😅
All I know is....at 0:25 there are TWO Viking corners who put their head on the incorrect side of the ballcarrier. This is fundamental to why the Vikings have lousy corners. Watch thenm BOTH miss the tackle. C'mon Mr Flores....coach em up please !!!
A 3-4 base scheme nose's responsibility is handling 2 gaps....both the A gaps. That is their PRIMARY responsibility in base.

Even in a double team, they can’t move him.

94 reasons why he cant be moved. He's a unit.
Dude gets doubled on almost every play.
He’s definitely clogging up the running lanes just not a pass rush specialist
That's his job... He is a true NT or Nose Guard. A run stuffer. The pass rushing DT will be Levi Drake Rodriguez
It appears Taki does NOT push the pocket , but he does clog up the running lanes, which has value.
Absolutly!

Dude he’s doubled every play lol
He makes it hard on the running backs

Dude, what? Those are both linebackers not corners, lol.
But I agree
Who?
If only he had some awesome Linebackers behind him....
He will when the season starts in Pace and Cashman
Casual statement
Far more of a 1st and 2nd down run/space eater. He takes alot of double teams.
How he made the team? Again? There's nothing special to see
By doing his job…
He’s a good run stuffer
5:38 sheds a double team and stops the RB around the line of scrimmage. That’s pretty special for an undrafted player.
Not sure I see a starting nose tackle here but we are not deep at this position.
Okay. I see nothing special there
Not impressed
