Rams top corner Trumaine Johnson travels with opposing No. 1 receivers at times. This season for Minnesota, that’s been Thielen, though given that Diggs lines up outside more often, it might be more prudent for Johnson to play there. Johnson will travel into the slot, but generally only if it’s man-to-man coverage.
Aaron Donald. He typically aligns opposite the opponent’s worst guard. That’ll likely be veteran Joe Berger on the right side, given that on the left side Nick Easton, while less experienced, is a stronger athlete. Either way, the Vikings will have to slide their protection towards Donald.
I deleted the stuff that was good. Donald typically aligns on the weak side in an "under front" so he's going away from TE or the 3 receive side, typically. Sure, there can be exceptions, but he's not lining up on the weak sister of the guards.
As far as Johnson, maybe he's been in slot some, but I don't check every play, though I want them all, I don't watch 11 times to get locaion of everyone, but typically he's not in the slot. I've seen Joyner some and Robie-Coleman there...maybe aginst bunch sets or somethig
