Zimmer at Forefront of NFL Revolution, Aaron Rodgers Says

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer received high praise from a highly regarded foe on Wednesday when Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers said Zimmer was at the forefront of a defensive revolution during a conference call with Twin Cities media members. “Coach Zimmer is an excellent football coach,” Rodgers said. “He does a great job of having his guys prepared every single week. They understand their scheme and make things look very similar and bring different types of pressure behind it. Anytime you’re at the forefront of revolutions in this league, to say, as they do with their seven and eight up looks they started at Cincinnati, that says a lot about the type of coach you are.
