@christomasson Eric Kendricks is doubtful for Sunday. He said he will make the trip to Oakland. Expect Brandon Watts to start, with Chad Greenway in middle

@Andrew_Krammer Robison on #Vikings' "subtle" in-game adjustments by Zimmer:"I think he’s one of the best defensive minds in the game, if not the best."

@Andrew_Krammer Zimmer: "I think our players will know" significance of this week vs. Green Bay. "Don't need a magic wand." Just shirts, which were his idea

@GoesslingESPN Mike Zimmer didn't think Bridgewater is holding the ball too long. Said he counted 10 plays Bridgewater turned from bad to manageable.

@Andrew_Krammer Zimmer: Injured hand bothering Anthony Barr "a little bit. But yesterday be sucked it up. Last two games he's sucked it up."

@DerekWetmore Mike Zimmer not interested in style points, after hearing team called 'least impressive' 6-2 team last week.

‏@DerekWetmore "If we're not impressive and we keep winning, more power to us." --Zimmer on the Vikings.

@DerekWetmore "You know, it’s a t-shirt. You can go down to the store and print ‘em up. It’s not a big deal.” --Mike Zimmer, true to form.

Does Zimmer call the defensive plays? I keep wondering how much credit we should be giving poor, overlooked George Edwards. He must have something to do with the defense's success, right?

PurpleKoolaid wrote:I wonder what Edwards does then. I guess just run the practices, and learn from Zimmer the plays he should be calling when the time comes. Would be nice to have stability with the coaching staff for more then 3 years.

fiestavike wrote: I've thought about that too. Norv is done as a head coach and Edwards seems unlikely to get tabbed as a HC candidate. We could have these guys together for a long time. The younger Turner and younger Zimmer might be the guys most likely to move on.
