Zimmer post-game: "offensive line played well, moved some people"

[StickyBun]

Z was excited about the play of the line. Said they were active and moved Denver's line off the ball. Very happy with the first team O and D. 

Pretty much as well as you could want if you're a Viking's coach, with some things to work on and complain about for the depth of the team, too.... as coaches love to do. Not trying to make too much of it but the Viking's offensive line kicked the shit out of Denver. They ran and passed at will. That makeshift line deserves some kudos.

“The Vikings utilized quick passes behind an offensive line that hasn’t had much experience together. Minnesota opened the game with LT Riley Reiff, LG Tom Compton, C Cornelius Edison, RG Danny Isidora and RT Rashod Hill”

Ok. Did you watch the first drive? Or the pass to Diggs to the 2 yard line? He had a pocket with 3 backups on the line. Murray had 2 runs over 20 yards. If you want to denigrate them, go for it. But they played very well considering everything. Its preseason so, as I said, I'm 'not trying to make too much of it'.  :/

I can be as hard on the team as anyone, but I don't get the looking at the negative side of everything that some fans do. Its a moment in time in preseason, we all know it doesn't mean much. But they looked stout, but not perfect of course, last night.

???  WTH. dude.

Its a quote from the article. Hence the quote marks.  i was looking to see who they started with.  That is all.   I was trying to insert a link for the article into the page but its my first time.

smh..

I thought the team played very well.

I really think we upgraded the qb position ... You can see the difference between Cousins and Keenum.  This is going to be a great team.

I'm drinking coffee. My bad if I misinterpreted what your intent was, but was it really a stretch? You basically quoted a part that dismissed why they played well. Now I know you feel differently. Got it.

I was impressed with how well the offensive line moved a stout Denver front 7 off the ball.  Obviously Von Miller didn't play, but Wolfe, Peko, and Chubb are some bad dudes...  and they were put on skates.

Nice to see considering we were starting 3 backups along the interior.  Maybe the sky isn't falling?

Very pleased with both first units.  I had really expected the offense would struggle.
