Good for him. I hope he gets a chance. Not a great sign for Pitta.

Do not mistake KINDNESS for WEAKNESS!

"Who's that dominant player (on defense")? Uhh...we have a couple.

@Andrew_Krammer Bridgewater, asked if he's a game manager: "Coach Zimmer doesn't like the name 'game manager,' he says I'm a playmaker."
@murphPPress Bridgewater on passing game: "We have a system here and that's me playing at a high level and protecting the football. We're winning."
@Andrew_Krammer Zimmer: "Winning trumps most" with quarterbacks. Teddy "doesn't hurt his team ever."
@Andrew_Krammer Zimmer said he saw poor technique from Xavier Rhodes on TD catch Sunday. Where do you want to see him improve? "Concentration."
@Andrew_Krammer Asked if #Vikings-#Packers has a different rivalry feel than others he's been around, Zimmer: "This week it does."
@murphPPress Zimmer: "It's too early to be talking about signature wins Lets hang one of these banners first." #Vikings

Zimmer may have "forgot" to turn it on :D
The winds have died down so coach Mike Zimmer took the team back outside for today’s practice. Unofficially, the toughest players on the team were revealed when Harrison Smith, Xavier Rhodes and Stefon Diggs went sleeveless in the 28-degree weather. Unofficially, the most cold-challenged players on the team were Cordarrelle Patterson and Jarius Wright, who went straight to a heater after stretching, only to find that the heater wasn’t turned on.

Haha!

I'm not at all surprised that Smith didn't give a ####, but it's great to hear that Diggs and Rhodes have big cajones, too.

Zimmer said exactly what I've been saying. It wasnt necessarily all on the offensive line. They ran a lot of quick hitters during that game but there are times where they are dropping Teddy for 7 and a hitch but he said he has to get rid of that. Not take 7 and two hitches which he has been doing. Both the line and Teddy just aren't in sync right now.

It's been a problem going back to last year.
