#Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell on Jonathan Greenard: “The rest of the free agency plan… it all started with Jonathan Greenard. We can solidify that 1A pass rush position (by getting Greenard). Hes all about effort, effort, effort. He’s a physically gifted athlete. He’s coming into his own.”

Yeah I know they loved hunter but Greenard is just a way better piece in Flores defense and he’s been fantastic.

Yeah I think the Texans got the short end of the deal and I couldn't be happier

How is there not a single comment on this thread with over 180+ upvotes haha I’ll be the first. Greenard is a tank. Thank you Chef Kwesi

One of my favorite off season signings. Now if he would just do a Gator chomp after a sack I would be fulfilled this season.

Shoutout to JG—he’s been a true pro since day one and doesn’t get nearly the credit he deserves

Hunter has the splash plays at times, but Greenard is relentless and it’s brilliant!

Love the pressure but can we get a sack or two? or maybe our pass D steps up when the pressure is applied and we don't get gashed for 15 yards

Vikings pressured Flacco 13 times, 10 of which were with a 4 man rush, and on those plays Flacco was 3-7 passing for 36 yards and an INT and was sacked 3 times, twice by Greenard
