We got guys like that all over the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd not only are they talented football players, they\u2019re smart, they understand concepts and understand what is being asked of them on a given down.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rankins injured his left elbow in the first half of the Week 9 win over the Bills. After just two games missed and less than a month later, he practiced fully this week and said \u201call systems are go.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He will add one more piece to a talented defensive line. Quinnen Williams leads the group with eight sacks and often demands double-teams, which creates one-on-ones for defensive ends such as Carl Lawson (five sacks), John Franklin-Myers (four), Bryce Huff (3.5) and Jermaine Johnson (2.5).\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re doubling one of them,\u201d Saleh said, \u201cit means two, three other guys are free for one-on-one\u2019s. and we feel good about those matchups.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"no\" height=\"200\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm\/?e=NYPH7357404309&amp;light=true\" width=\"100%\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, the Vikings will be without tackle Christian Darrisaw (concussion) for a second straight game. Cousins has been sacked 28 times, the eighth-most in the league, and was swarmed for seven sacks two weeks ago in a loss to the Cowboys. The Vikings\u2019 offensive line bounced back last week, only allowing one sack while beating the Patriots.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor us it\u2019s going to be about going in there and winning those matchups and making it count when we get to him,\u201d said Rankins, who is particularly effective against the run. \u201cWhen we hit him, get the ball out of his hands. Get to him, get him down, sack him, create negative plays.\u201d\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
