More than roster tweaks, Mike Zimmer blows up Vikings defense after terrible 2020

The Vikings opened mandatory minicamp Tuesday with Danielle Hunter in attendance, along with a newly acquired defensive tackle, a boatload of new cornerbacks and presumably steak and lobster on Mike Zimmer's daily dinner plate.

The head coach is living in hog heaven this summer.

The gang is back together again, plus some new veterans to fill important roles in Zim's defense, a dramatic transformation that calls to mind a Biblical saying: Ask and you shall receive.

Anyone shocked by a pre-training camp resolution to Hunter's contract situation has ignored the organization's mission since the dreadful 2020 season was put to rest.
