With four weekends left in the regular season http://www.ravenscheapshops.com/cheap-authentic-tavon-young-jersey , two NFL teams have already fired their coaches. The coaching carousel is in full spin, the unsettling part of these high-pressure, intensely scrutinized jobs."I hate this time of year," Minnesota Vikings offensive coordinator John DeFilippo said, lamenting the way families of fired coaches are subjected to the upheaval. "I was one of those kids. I grew up this way. So I'm a little bit sensitive to it, OK?"His father, Gene DeFilippo, was a college assistant coach who moved into administration and was the athletic director at Villanova and Boston College. Those roles and eras were different than calling plays in 2018 for the Vikings, sure, but the spotlight of big-time sports still exposed him to plenty of public disparagement.John DeFilippo has been a frequent target of that himself lately. The Vikings have been held under 300 total yards in three of their past four games http://www.ravensfootballauthentics.com/sam-koch-jersey-authentic , and they're facing another daunting matchup on Monday night at Seattle.The hottest topic has been the run-pass imbalance, which even caused head coach Mike Zimmer to join the chorus of critics after the Vikings lost 24-10 last week at New England. Dalvin Cook rushed for 84 yards, but he only had nine carries. DeFilippo said on Friday after practice that he pointed out "two or three" plays in the game against the Patriots where he should have called a run instead of a pass."Coach and I are in constant communication of how to make this offense better. We talk all the time," said DeFilippo, who's in his first season with the Vikings after serving as quarterbacks coach for Philadelphia. "There's certain things that he believes in and that I believe in as well."Despite the recent struggles by the Vikings (6-5-1), who rank 16th in the league in yards and 18th in points, DeFilippo's name is among the candidates already in full circulation on the NFL speculation circuit. One oddsmaker pegged him as the second-most likely replacement in Green Bay for fired head coach Mike McCarthy, trailing only Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels."I'm pretty much in this building about 18 to 20 hours a day, so I don't hear a lot of that outside noise, good or bad http://www.ravensfootballauthentics.com/james-hurst-jersey-authentic ," DeFilippo said. "So I'm just dead set on doing my job right now. We have a quarter of our season left that's a very, very important quarter. For me to think of anything besides our football team would being a lot of people a disservice."From quarterback Kirk Cousins to tight end Kyle Rudolph to wide receiver Adam Thielen, several of Minnesota's offensive players have not been shy about publicly stating their evaluations of what's gone wrong and what they believe are the best ways to make the process go right on a more consistent basis. More involvement for Cook has been mentioned often. Getting those screen passes going is another theory. Eschewing the huddle and employing more up-tempo possessions, too, has been given multiple thumbs-up."There's constant dialogue, and that's every week, after every series," Cousins said. "You're trying to continue to stay on the same page."Whatever the method, the offense is well aware of the burden it's carrying into the final quarter of the season."Obviously there's some frustration on our side of the ball, knowing that our defense has played so well and we haven't kind of pulled our end http://www.ravensfootballauthentics.com/brent-urban-jersey-authentic ," Thielen said, adding: "We just need to get back to who we are. We know we have the guys in the room to do it." In a battle between heralded defense and celebrated offense, the Ravens host the Saints for one of their hardest matchups of the year. Will Baltimore spoil New Orleans’ winning streak or will the Ravens be overwhelmed by their fire power? The Baltimore Beatdown staff outlines some bold predictions for Week 7.Sage’s predictions:The Ravens will allow a second-half touchdown.Coming off a shutout victory over the Tennessee Titans, the Ravens face a far superior offense this week. Through five games, Drew Brees has a 122.3 passer rating, 11 touchdowns and an impressive zero interceptions. Even if Baltimore can contain one of the best statistical quarterbacks in the history of the game, running back Alvin Kamara has the ability to get hot and Mark Ingram has proven to be able to pick up the slack when Kamara struggles. John Brown will reach the end zone. Brown had his worst statistical game of 2018 against Tennessee, catching just two passes for 28 yards. His targets went from 14 in Week 5 against the Browns to only 3. His early success hauling in deep balls for Joe Flacco has forced opponents to more heavily game plan for the receiver. With Michael Crabtree re-establishing himself last week, Brown should be able to break out once again. Vasilis’ predictions:Drew Brees will not record the 500th passing touchdown of his career.The Ravens six passing touchdowns allowed this year are the second fewest in the NFL, and none have come in Baltimore. And Brees has yet to toss a touchdown in an outdoor stadium this season. Lamar Jackson will throw a pass to Joe Flacco.The Ravens have been setting up a trick play throughout their first six games. Expect a lateral behind the line of scrimmage http://www.ravenscheapstores.com/brandon-williams-jersey-cheap , and for Flacco to find John Brown deep downfield for a long gain.Kyle A.’s predictions:Joe Flacco will throw for 300+ yards.Much has been made of the Saints top-ranked rush defense; but on the flip side, they carry the 30th ranked passing defense in terms of yards. They’ve also given up 11 touchdown passes on the year, ranking 26th. It would not come as much of a surprise to see the number 10 passer in the NFL throw for over 300 yards, especially considering he is averaging 298 yards per game.Alvin Kamara will gain 100 yards through the air. Baltimore’s defense has been pretty strong in both the running game and the passing game for the most part this season. However, there comes a point in time where certain matchups cause havoc for Baltimore’s linebackers. First, it was Cincinnati’s tight ends. Now, Kamara provides that challenge. The 23-year-old running back averages 70.2 yards per game in receiving. It would be tough to predict that the Ravens linebackers could keep up with his burst and quickness in the passing game.
