I like that. New system so Zims playing the guys longer to get them some work. His predecessor didn't believe in using preseason to work on things even when his team looked out of sync, and it carried over to the regular season.

Vikings need to clean up that A gap blitz, multiple times it hasn't been picked up. Ellison also brutal on that block on 2nd down.

“@christomasson: Blair Walsh made his first 12 of his career then missed last three last season from 50 or beyond. Is 0-of-2 this preseason, missing 53/51.”

Seems like his strategy may be go soft in practice and play longer in preseason games.

Barr was playing mike. Rhodes and greenway both with poor defense despite good position.

What da heck? Why is false start enforced on the kickoff? These rules make no sense.

Doesn't make sense to move a PAT 5 yards back. After this week it's going back to the 3 yard line so they probably didn't bother changing the rule.
