The Vikings adding Christian Darrisaw to the offensive line was a strong move, but not enough to give them an above-average unit just yet. Los Angeles Chargers

DF: Your second sack of Rodgers, which you shared with Jason Pierre-Paul, came off a great design in which Pierre-Paul stunted inside, taking the left tackle with him, and you went outside with only the running back [Jamaal Williams] to stop you. Not a great matchup for the Packers. What is the design of this play, and how much does Todd Bowles' creative pressure concepts help you and your teammates get to the quarterback?LD: Just a little delay. We'd been off the ball, me at my regular position, and we're just doing it differently a little bit. JPP pulls the tackle with him, and that gives me a clean look off the edge. The whole concept is just getting me one-on-one with the back, and as you can see in this instance, the back was a little slow to come back to me. The main thing is getting me one-on-one with the back, and create pressure on the quarterback ASAP. And that's what happened. JPP had a great stunt, creating room off the edge for me, and that gave him a chance to add on for the sack, too. I was trying to get that full sack, but they wrote it down as a half. The great thing here is that we're working collectively. Everyone on the defense is holding their looks, and it looks like a regular defensive coverage. But having the blitz come behind it helps them [the defensive backs] out, as well. DF: The other thing about this play that stands out from your perspective is how well you turn the edge. You almost have to have edge-rushing characteristics here -- you're not just blowing through a gap.LD: You've got to bend the edge, man -- got to make the edge shorter. You've got to stay on the track. JPP redirects, and if he funnels the quarterback outside, [Rodgers] could come directly to me. And vice versa -- if the quarterback goes back in, he could go directly to JPP. It all works together. DF: Do you think you could get 10 sacks a year as an edge-rusher?LD: I don't know -- it's hard down there, man! I'd have to be working at it. But if I was born as an edge-rusher and had been playing it my whole life, yeah, I probably could.

"I think Jimmy's got a really good trust in myself and Kyle," Lynch told FS1's Colin Cowherd on Tuesday (h/t 49ers Webzone). "I think you earn that, and I think from day one, we've been very upfront with Jimmy. When I went to Jimmy, I told him the truth. Like, 'Look, we have made a decision that we're going to pursue a quarterback this offseason. You know, Jimmy, when you've played, you've been tremendous, and the record speaks to that. We feel like there's room for growth. The biggest thing has been it's hard to keep you on the field.'

This is the first offseason Jones will be in the same offense, which will offer more familiarity going into his third season. Jones must eliminate the boneheaded decisions and turnover-worthy plays that hold the team back. With his toughness and ability to make plays with his legs, Jones can make a big leap forward.
