Zimmer Selling 'Unselfish Warrior' Mentality

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The press box tally for Linval Joseph in the stats book from Sunday’s game at Denver credited the defensive tackle with three solo stops, one for loss and a pass deflection.

Much more met the eyes of Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer, who said Monday that Joseph is an “unselfish warrior player,” and he wants the entire team to buy into that mentality.

“Linval continues to play well,” Zimmer said. “You know, one thing about him that I’m very impressed with is that, I hope that our whole football team gets this mentality, he does an awful lot of dirty work that doesn’t show up in the stat book.
