This morning, I took a look at some of the unheralded players in Sunday’s conference title games. The guys not calling themselves “Superman,” “Batman,” “Captain America,” “Hail Larry,” Brady or Manning.
You know, the offensive linemen.
As you might know, the Vikings clearly have established the offensive line as their No. 1 priority this offseason. Less than 48 hours into this offseason, coach Mike Zimmer fired offensive line coach Jeff Davidson and put every starter on alert that they’ll have to compete for their jobs.
Nothing and no one is off the table. For the Vikings to progress and reach their full potential with Teddy Bridgewater and Adrian Peterson in the same backfield, they need to protect that backfield a lot better than they have for some time now.
