Coach Mike Zimmer this morning met with reporters at the NFL owners meetings in Boca Raton. Zimmer was pinned down for 53 minutes, so he hit a lot of topics. The most popular one was the offensive line.
The Vikings added guard Alex Boone and tackle Andre Smith in free agency, and they also kept around guard Mike Harris and tackles Matt Kalil and Phil Loadholt. They now have nine linemen with at least 16 career starts.
“I just wanted to get as many bodies in there as I could then let him fight it out,” Zimmer told the media on hand, which thankfully included the team’s website.
