Speaking of interior offensive line, I think we already have our guard on the roster in Wyatt Davis. Looking at his college stuff, he’s got all the tools and then some. It’s baffling to me he didn’t play. Chalking it up to another Zimmer is a moron move ala Cam Dantzler sitting on the bench and the worst corner in the league starting.
IDK about Zimmer treating Davis badly. Davis showed up to camp last at 320 and they told him he needed to lose 7 pounds.
https://www.twincities.com/2022/02/17/vikings-wyatt-davis-on-tough-rookie-year-im-making-sure-that-doesnt-happen-again/
Since the end of the season, the native of the Los Angeles area has been working out regularly near his home and has been sticking to a strict diet. And later his month he will head to the Dallas area for more than a month to work with offensive line guru Duke Manyweather.
“Obviously, I wanted to help contribute and I didn’t have the opportunity to do so, which is why I’m making sure that doesn’t happen again, absolutely,” Davis told the Pioneer Press about rebounding from his tough rookie season.
“I’m just doing everything I can to put me in a position to help my team win,” Davis said. “I’m just looking to work once we get back into doing (Vikings) stuff. … Once that opportunity comes, I’m going to take it and never look back. So I’m just trying to do everything in my power right now to put me in a spot to do so.”
The 6-foot-4 Davis said he’s on “a great meal plan” to maintain his weight. He reported to the Vikings last year at 320 pounds, and team officials wanted him to drop about seven pounds. He did that, and now wants to make sure he reports in the spring at an ideal weight.
Sounds like to me he was his own worst enemy last year and once Udoh beat him out, he did not get many chances to win the job. I mean, how many teams have competitions during the season?
But, everything is Zimmer's fault now. LMAO.
The man is an old stubborn goat (I am too) who does not suffer fools easily or really want to be yore friend.
His time was up. So be it.
I refuse to blame him for everything and put most of the blame on the players.
Lolz Zimmer 100% treated Davis badly, just like he did to several other players. Remember when Jefferson needed a mere 17 yards to break Moss' record and they didnt try to get him the record although JJ publicly said he wanted it? He refused to play Mond for whatever reason and then made the comment about "seeing him in practice" to the press. Being a stubborn old man is one thing, being a complete douchebag is another. I don't doubt Udoh beat him out, but there's no reason Davis shouldn't have had a chance given the way Udoh and others played at the position...especially if it was because of 7 freaking pounds.
Zimmer is/was a vindictive little man who gave more opportunities to his son than some players on the roster. With Davis, he should have given him some opportunities on the field (especially in the last game) so Davis could get a feel for what he needed to improve. Zimmer either kept him (and other draft picks) off the field as a FU to Spielman for drafting them or because he was worried that the rookies would actually play well proving Zimmer's decision not to play them was stupid. Zimmer cared more about his own legacy as a defensive guru than the team's record. He let his disdain for Spielman impact how he ran the team and players, such as Davis, were collateral damage.
I think it was time for Zimmer to go last year but listening to you dudes here kick the man when he is out the door is revealing.
The way it reads here we really do not need another guard.
We got Davis.
Just a quick response:
- When the door opened to kick him out, we got a quick peek behind the door and saw some of the crap on the floor. Obviously, a lot of crap going on behind the scenes that we, as fans, were not privy to.
- Not saying the Davis will fix the problem; just saying that Zimmer hindered both the development of Davis and the evaluation of Davis by the new regime (and the fans).
- As I have posted many times before, IMHO the worse thing Zimmer did was not getting young players into games when the Vikes had been eliminated from the playoffs -- that was simply a product of his ego.
Chandler Jones to the Raiders, 3yrs roughly $51m

I read somewhere that the team has contacted him, he’s a Mn native too…
Former #Vikings 2020 first-round CB Jeff Gladney is signing with the #Cardinals, per @Schultz_Report. Gladney was recently found not guilty by a jury after being indicted last year on a charge of assaulting a woman. Minnesota released him at the time. Now back in the league.
The #Raiders are giving pass-rusher Chandler Jones a 3-year deal worth roughly $51M, source said. As of now, that’s top of the pass-rush market in free agency...
