This defense is primarily coached by Mike Tomlin, who was the Defensive coordinator for some of this and was hired by Pittsburgh as HC over the course of this era.
The vikings have a history of great D-line play !! All the way back to the 70s purple people eaters & the 80s with Chris Doleman & Keith Millard and the 90s with John Randle & Henry Thomas and Fast Forward to the Williams wall
Those were the day rember the Williams brother Henry tomas....all the great run defender Jerry ball...now we have ah ah ????philips ah uh uh uh and uh....well teams will run on us .
What made them so dominant was they was allowed to attack the gaps in that 1gap scheme. Most of the time when teams has 2 big 300lbs DT's they play a 2gap scheme & just ask them to just take up space
Kevin &pat were do dominating...the rest of the D ...could jus pic a gap and feast...sometimes opposing teams would try and double them both on the same play!!
1 of the greatest d line in NFL History. Kevin Williams was a monster . Miss Pat, Edwards, and of course the Sack legend Jared Allen. We definitely should of won it all in 2009
I got a lot of concussions trying to playing like Kevin Williams, he was a hero of mine. I idolized Pat. I have brain damage now wish I never play football hockey but I had fun at the time
They were the reason I became a Vikings fan. Living in hawaii we have no team, something about that defense....... we got screwed against the Saints and now we have worthless Cousins. Wish we still had Case.
Ik its a year late but why? I mean I like Case he was awesome but the 1 year we had him we also had the #1 defense as well so you can say he got us to the championship but we still got whooped so I dont think that makes him better than kirk
Ah, the Williams Wall. Kev and Big Pat were so fun to watch.
Coming from a bears fan it truly was still fun to watch the William's
My god
We're about to do it again with Pierce/Tomlinson
Lmaoo that’s why I came to watch this
Add Sheldon Richardson to the Front lines
Damn that’s some high expectations. These guys were elite. Then when they traded for Allen they were all time great.
Well thIs didn’t age well
@@garongribble3936 ong this defense is cheeks
This should never be forgotten in Minnesota. The Williams Wall was the Real Deal.
The Ravens have had the best overall rushing defense for 25 years. Their 2000 team had the best run defense ever
Ej Henderson was so underatted
Best rushing defense for like 3 years straight. Good ol days
Yooo Pat was such a beast. Didnt remember him being that quick too gawwwd dayyyuuum
And the fact he my coach 😂
@@keyowth_3294 best listen up. That be a honor

What a special defense! They were a force.

Dominant Defensive Line Play > Dominant Pass Happy Offense
Man I wish we had Mike Tomlin back as coach..

That whole defense's block shedding was at a 99
Kevin &pat were do dominating...the rest of the D ...could jus pic a gap and feast...sometimes opposing teams would try and double them both on the same play!!
I think the vikes have the record for rushing yards allowed in a game at -2 against the lions in like 2006 or 2007 lmao that’s crazy
-17 to Miami I thought 🤔
We never should have let Mike Tomlin get away…
Peirce and Tomlinson 2021. Let's see what we have in our hands ✋
Lmaooo😂
BIG PAT!!!!!
Yes they were fun makes you wonder if 2021 Vikings can compete

But you never will
@@KoltonReitz well if we lose are heart and cheat like 09 saints we can win a ring. But we are to good to be cheaters
As long as Darren Sharper is out there playing safety women are safe from "the potion"
Reminds me what a raging dumpster fire the offense was that a defense this good wasn't good enough to carry.
32nd against the pass. No shit they had the best run defense 😂😂😂
This years titants pretty much😂😂 kevin Williams was still a monster regardless
Pat Williams is so underrated.
Funny Story we let the defensive coordinator go and he went on to win the Super Bowl with the steelers his name is Mike Tomlin
The run defense was great that year. The pass defense...not so much. I remember the patriots just decided to not run and they killed us.
That's because when they was running the cover 2 defense at that time the MLB they wasn't good in dropping back in zone coverage
Oh how I miss those days....
I got a lot of concussions trying to playing like Kevin Williams, he was a hero of mine. I idolized Pat. I have brain damage now wish I never play football hockey but I had fun at the time
Pats tummy , 123 tackles for loss , lol
Not the most suited intro music for a highlight reel, but I'll take it
That was such a dominant d line for us and our offense was complete trash, imagine if we had our offense today with that d line, that’d be unstoppable
1080 lol 😆
they were a damm brick wall though
Those uniforms were awesome. To bad the old timer fans didn’t like it
yea and now we have one of the worst rushing defense lol...
They were the reason I became a Vikings fan. Living in hawaii we have no team, something about that defense....... we got screwed against the Saints and now we have worthless Cousins.
Wish we still had Case.
I still don’t know why farve threw across his body to Tracy porter
@@stevenstacherski7271 punch drunk from all the illegal late hits :P

@@emrow346 yah maybe I'm remembering it.better than it was, Kirk did beat the saints in NO so I give him a C+ so far
