Mike Zimmer appeared on KFAN this morning and in an interview with my friend Paul Allen shared a few noteworthy nuggets on the Vikings.
Zimmer, of course, was complimentary about the players the Vikings have added in free agency. He says new offensive tackles Riley Reiff and Mike Remmers are “smart,” “tough” and “physical.” And he mentioned that running back Latavius Murray is capable of playing all three downs, which is something his predecessor, Adrian Peterson, was not trusted to do.
After officially losing Chad Greenway to retirement, Zimmer said again that he plans to keep Eric Kendricks in the middle, though he thought Kentrell Brothers, whom he called a “two-down” middle linebacker, had a good rookie year.
