Vikings defensive lines

[MaroonBells]

A guess at how they might line up for each situation:

Starting: Hunter-Pierce-Tomlinson-Wonnum
Running: Hunter-Pierce-Tomlinson-Richardson
Passing: Hunter-Richardson-Griffen-Wonnum
Goal line: Hunter-Pierce-Tomlinson-Richardson-Griffen

You think Richardson is better in run defense?  I thought his issue was gap integrity, he penetrates really quickly, but being gap sound is not his best trait.

I think Weatherly may be a better run defender, but IMO Griff, weatherly, wonnum, richardson are going to rotate heavily through at DE and 3 tech to stay fresh.  Pierce and Watts will rotate through at NT with Tomlinson playing 3T and sliding to NT in some pass situations.

That was always his reputation. A penetrating 3T to be sure, but excelled vs. the run.
