Emmanuel Lamur needs to beat out Chad Greenway

No offense to Chad Greenway, but I hope he loses his camp battle with Emmanuel Lamur.

I fully appreciate the value Greenway brings as a veteran leader and stabilizing influence but at the same time, imagine how good the Vikings’ linebacker corps could be if Lamur turns out to be the real deal.

Imagine if, instead of the old, slow Greenway out there, the Vikings had a young, athletic, versatile player to mix in with Anthony Barr and Eric Kendricks. Emmanuel Lamur could very well be that player.

Mike Zimmer clearly sees something in Lamur, a player he coached in Cincinnati and encouraged Rick Spielman to bring in as a free agent.
