We share this from our coverage of Vikings training camp 2019. Mike Zimmer may not be here on Monday, but he was the right coach when hired in 2014. ALWAYS at camp, he'd find a child to come onto the field with him in practice. He's a good person, regardless if he is in MIN '22

A little birdie told us that in his end of season interview, Vikings DC Brian Flores told the team he has no interest in leaving outside of a generational Head coaching opt (NE, Dallas, Pittsburgh). So, here's hoping the interest is limited this offseason - Vikes need Flores

Viking Firsts - On Oct 25, 2015, Stefon Diggs would both catch his first NFL TD, but would foreshadow great things to come from him. This 36 YD td Pass to Digg from Bridgewater would put the Vikes up for good. Diggs got a TD on what would usually be an overthrow.

Not enough people are talking about Jalen Nailor. He has emerged as a pass catcher and his hustle downfield to both make sure he made a block to get Jefferson in from 97 yards out, and his intelligence to avoid a block in the back penalty is notable.

December 31, 2017 - the 60th and final sack of Brian Robison's GREAT Viking career. Loyalty - he had many chances to go elsewhere in Free Agency for more money, but Brian is one of the few Vikings since 1970 who played every game of his career in Minnesota.

Thanks Ed Donatell - The Vikings are the only team in the Super Bowl era to complete 80 percent of their passes, not turn the ball over, not allow a sack, and still lose. Previously, teams in that situation were 47-0 in the regular season and playoffs combined.

Think about it, the Vikings have collapsed and lost a lead the last 5 games. Mike Zimmer has delivered 2 playoff wins in 8 seasons. In both wins, his team collapsed in the 4th quarter to lose the lead, only to win in a furious comeback. The trend has been here a long time!

Dennis Green as a college halfback at Iowa. His greatest game was 18 carries for 175 yards and two TDs in 28-17 loss to Texas Christian in 1968. As Minnesota Head Coach, Dennis Green turned the Vikings around in 1992, and gave this team all the tenacity he had.

Stefon Diggs was very complimentary to the Vikings, his MIN coaches & the fans he performed for in the Twin Cities. We recall the last time Stefon matched-up against Justin Jefferson-2022 in BUF. Diggs: 12 catches for 128 yds, only to be outdone by JJ with 10 catches for 193 yds.

This season, when you criticize Kirk Cousins, keep in mind, he is statistically the highest rated QB in Viking history (better than Tarkenton, Kramer, Kapp, Culpepper, Cunningham, Favre, etc). Avg 30 TDs, 9 INTS and 104 QB rating in MIN. Remember, he can't play Def or O-Line.

For those who dogged Kirk Cousins, we remind you fo the type of passes he can throw (that other recent Viking QBs couldn't) when he had time to deliver. He has more talent than many think, but a good portion of the Viking fan base blames him for taking a payday we'd all take.
