Vikings D Aiming To Please Perfectionist In Coach Zimmer

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Adrian Peterson and a rock solid defense — That’s been the first place combination for the Vikings.

The latter is the product of head coach Mike Zimmer, a coach who is rather difficult to please.

It’s about players making plays.on defense, and this defense is coming together. It’s a culture, a belief system and a system that works.

So is the success about X’s and O’s or is it a mindset and a tenacity that you won’t get beat?

“I think it’s a little bit of both. I mean obviously guys have got to be in the right place and that’s where X’s and O’s come into place,” defensive end Brian Robison said.
