Investigator: TJ, what do you have to say about your play on the offensive line this year?

TJ: I played on the offensive line this year? Wait. Whaaaaat? I thought I was a greeter at Walmart. :confused:

I'm interested in who we will look at and sign for our Offensive Coordinator.

Yes me too. You think we keep our current OC? He was stuck with Norvs offense and a failing line. Im certainly not saying he should stay. I would love a proven young OC.

An absolute no when it comes to Locke. One of those tackles need to be resigned IMO too. I would take Line and Cole back too

I also have a mock offseason partially typed up. Will probably get it on here sometime this week

I guess we first have to figure out who goes and who stays coach wise.
Then the work begins.

Maybe not. If Zimmer is sincere in reviewing every part of the team, he could make some coaching and scheme changes.

I hope he does and I admire his willingness to hold himself accountable too. Hopefully, he can help right the Vikings ship.

I'd like to see a major shift in offensive philosophy from the team.

I'd like to know who devised the Philosophy to have WRs , TEs, and RBs run routes short of the First down marker. This has been going on for 30 freakin years. He should be run out of town on a hot rail :wallbang: :soap :gone: :hitfan:
