Zimmer’s change of philosophy on offensive line should bring HUGE dividends

If there’s one thing I’ve talked about more than any other since launching this network back in May of 2015, it’s the offensive line. Well, to be fair, it’s me THEN the offensive line. As the status quo and zeitgeist slowly followed suit, there was some divide amongst those who acknowledged that the offensive line was clearly the Achille’s heel of this team but also said that the Vikings brass had done a lot to fix that issue.

That’s true, in that the Vikings had spent more early (rounds 1, 2, or 3) draft capital on the line than any other team even before the 2021 Draft netted studs like Christian Darrisaw and Wyatt Davis.
