I haven’t been able to find anything. Any local news?

Been wondering the same thing

Zimmer won't say anything till Wednesday...And even then I'm guessing he'll hold his cards close to the vest

Zimmer should just take his foot off the offensive brake and let Kirk, Adam, Diggs and Murray match Brees and company in what will likely be a shoot out. My faith in the defense stopping them is low. I have more faith in the Saints defense not stopping ours. IF Mike let's loose the reins.

I just know I'm gonna lose it if Diggs has 8 receptions for 33 yards. His under usage is nauseating.

Expect to get any useful info from Zimmer and you will be disappointed. It is not his job to provide information. Just a few weeks ago he denied a report that Griff would not be back any time soon. I guess nobody defined what "soon" meant.
I am expecting no X, Barr, or Sendejo on defense, and no Reiff, Compton or Cook on offense. I am hopeful about Joseph.

he is drawing the opposing teams #1 CB and still is getting safety help over the top or LB help underneath on many of his routes... its not the offensive play calling that is taking away Diggs its the defensive schemes. is it coincidence that when Diggs disappears that Theilen goes off? sooner or later teams will roll more of that coverage towards AT and Diggs will get his big game, but right now he is playing a role and doing a very good job at it. it has to be damn hard to still work as hard as he does on every play knowing that the defense is scheming specifically to take you out of the offense.

The defense is ranked 11th, the offense 13th: lots of 'could be better' ats, but ultimately the team is in a good situation and its in their hands now moving forward. The D is on a better pace for 3rd down defense than even last year, which is pretty amazing. If the season ended today, Minnesota would be the #4 seed in the NFC in the playoffs. But New Orleans is going to be a very tough win. Very.

The team is missing Dalvin Cook as a guy to target and go to when both Diggs and Thielen are double teamed.

I get that he's drawing the #1 CB, but he's been featured on too many WR screens and laterals, IMO. With his hands and route running, Diggs should be seeing deeper looks. Let Roc, Boone or Treadwell play scat-back.
