That said, kudos for the apology.
Hell I thought he already left, at half time of the Saints game! ;) B)
Let’s not kid ourselves. Mike Zimmer is effectively the Vikings defensive coordinator. Not sure many fans could pick George out of a lineup. He is that rarely seen or heard from.
If he was really the brains behind the NFL’s #1 defense, wouldnt he have been interviewed by even one team who needed a head coach?

The Bears interviewed him. Zimmer calls the defense and has his hands all over it. But at its core, Edwards is the one putting together the game plans.
When pages load on this site they do right in the middle of the thread and not the beginning
I was thinking Zim just threw him under the bus
Glad it was false
Me too Maple.
I figured Edwards was going to be the fall guy for a disgraceful D performance vs Philly...

Then maybe he SHOULD be let go. Because the gameplan vs. the Eagles SUCKED.
Everything evens out with time. Pederson called an awesome game. He will get enough plays, patterns and trends out there that defenses will close the gap.
On another note you can't underestimate the work he did to unleash new plays with a back up qb many did not have film on in his system.
