Vikings Camp Three-cap Day 4: Handling Heat in the Pocket

Vikings pass rushers were still firing off the line of scrimmage in the team’s second day in pads, but they also were better and pumping the breaks.

Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer said Wednesday that guys were “geared up” on their first day in pads and got too close to Bridgewater too often in the first time in pads of 2015.

“We have to learn how to practice in pads continually,” Zimmer said. “There was a couple times that were too close. Sharrif (Floyd) bumped into a guard, and he kind of bumped into Teddy and Teddy went on the ground one time.
