Vikings coaches believe E.J. Henderson will be the member of the Minnesota Vikings defense who wears the in-helmet radio device. The NFL agreed to allow one member of the defense to wear an in-helmet radio device to receive plays from the sidelines after 25 NFL teams voted in favor of it (7 voted no- Raiders, Packers, Seahawks, Eagles, Rams, Bucs and Redskins) Each team will be allowed two players per game to be equipped with helmets with the device, but only one of those helmets is allowed to be on the field at any time. It is rare for the NFL to make changes to help the defense, but this doesn’t seem like a huge deal to me. I am wondering if the average fan will even notice the difference.
As far as Vikings E.J. Henderson being the point man. It makes sense. Henderson normally stays on the field for three downs and calls the defensive plays anyway. He is coming off his best season and has established himself as a clubhouse leader, so why not him?
