I would 100% like to see Zimmer back if the Vikes can him.
I just profoundly disagree with both our offensive & defensive philosophies. And the degree tgey are ill-fitted to the roster, especially on D. Playcalling/game management is also poor.
On D. That stupid 5 DL/3 DT thing using Dunlap/Hubbard in coverage has to go. Especially since we are paper thin at DT. Plus, those guys are DEs, not OLBs that rush the passer (LT, D. Thomas, K. Mack, etc). And the lack of aggression to end halves is appaling. FFS, if they score fast, at least we get the ball back. Don't let them score AND kill the clock. We are up 7. Grow a pair. Tackling continues to be an issue. How many sacks did we blow this game? Soft.
On O. Not prioritizing the O-line with Burrow coming in is a fire-able offense. We are #1 in the league in WR payroll, ponied up for a 2 down back, and spent $100+ million in FA and like 2% of that (XSF) was on the O-line. No fullbacks screams soft (though I did see Carter back there some & some 2 back). And finally, playing 6'7" OGs is just a bad idea. They struggle getting low and have leverage issues.
HC: Zimmer/Simmons
DC: Phillips/Zimmer
OL: Anyone but Turner
Gonna be tough to improve right away. The die is cast this year.
