Christopher Gates: The Vikings’ passing game has been one that has centered around wanting to take deeper shots when possible, and as the passing game coordinator, Angelichio has played a part in that. As we’ve seen over the past couple of seasons, that has had its benefits and its drawbacks, and it’s largely been dependent on the offensive line play. When the Vikings have been able to protect their quarterbacks, the scheme has been able to get the receivers open for those longer plays and get big chunks of yardage down the field. Guys getting open for the Vikings hasn’t really been the issue over the past couple of seasons, but the execution up front and, sometimes, the execution at quarterback has prevented the offense from being as good as it probably could have been.
