"On Anthony Harris... Negotiations [with the #Vikings] didn't go quite so well... I would say a trade is back on the table. He could get moved on draft weekend... I think playing out the season on the franchise tag is off the table."
The big problem here is that the Vikings "KNOW" what Harris is worth and Harris and his agent have a different idea. Bummer, I like that kid. The Vikings could be looking at bringing a Safety FA real soon. Lots of guys not having a problem leaving Zimmer, he's old school and that doesn't go well with today's young men, they have a different idea on how to treat people. Look at the difference between Pete Carol and Zimmer, both solid coaches, totally different philosophy. both about the same age, just one grew with the job and the other feels the players need to adapt to him. That worked 30 years ago, today, not so much, look at the coaches in todays NFL.
Agreed. Zim's "get the hell off of my lawn" attitude doesn't fly with today's young people.
One thing about "time". It's always changing so you either change with it or fall in it's wake.
People are making a lot of assumptions about Zimmer being a dinosaur and all that. We don't know.
Putting a 3-4 guy on the staff is a change. And it isn't some young buck he can dismiss.
Another newsflash, balanced offenses are back in vogue. The Rams high flying offense came and gone faster than the 'Run and Shoot".
Balanced offenses have always been in vogue. Exploiting player matchups without regard to balance in any particular game or even half of a game is the new direction of the game. They can’t protect their qb or their qb is new or nervous? Blitz too much. They can’t defend the run? Run too much. Their pass rush is undisciplined? Throw too many screens. They have a weak/unproven Oline player? Send all your stunts and zone blitzes at him. Etc....
You yourself said the NO game was a great game plan. Both sides of the ball.
Then SF Front 7 exploited our weakness.
Yes that game was zimmer’s masterpiece. I also loved the opener when we barely threw at all. I don’t give a crap about ‘passing a lot’. I’m interested in being willing to ignore conventional wisdom like ‘have balance’ of there’s a matchup, tendency, and/or deficiency to exploit. I learned this when Belichick came in and ignored our Williams Wall and threw on us all game long.
Was that when Bledsoe passed like 70 times?
If memory serves correct is seems like they passed like 40 out of 45 plays during a certain stretch of the game. I'm pretty sure it was Brady at qb.
*edit I looked it up and I think it was the game in 2006.
Nope.
One of the men to go over 4,000 yards in 1994 was the New England Patriots’ Drew Bledsoe. The quarterback, who was drafted first overall one year earlier, actually led the NFL in passing yardage that year with 4,555. He also was the league-leader in another category: Bledsoe attempted 691 regular season passes — and 70 of them came in a single week 11 game versus the Minnesota Vikings; a record that still stands today.
