per Athlon:
Minnesota
"Very efficient at what they do. Offensively they had a great system last season. They tried to make everything look the same up front. A lot of the RPO stuff, they're really deceptive with it."
"A lot of the success they had was confusing you out of a decision. Is it an RPO, is it a protection, is it a called pass? Now, with changing out OCs, you would assume it won't be the same but you also think P.J. (Fleck) isn't going to stray too far from what got them there."
"Because the core is still there, they aren't going to change anything too much. They have a really solid offensive line that does a lot for them."
"They're not necessarily recruiting at a different level in terms of landing big names, they're just expanding out and reaching more places."
"There's a type of player who instantly clicks with a personality like P.J. That's the success they're having. Some more old-school guys go visit there and it isn't for them."
"P.J. has polarized a lot of coaches in the league. No one wants to knock a guy when he's having success, though. If it's successful you can't argue it, but it's a style that a lot of coaches don't like."
"They've found an identity and a style that really fits that division in terms of standing out and competing against the Iowas and Wisconsins."
