Minnesota Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer
On game planning without knowing who will start on the Redskins’ offensive line:
“We try to prepare for everybody that we think has a chance to play. We’ve done a lot of work, really, on all of their guys.”
On T.J. Clemmings’ experience with the Vikings and if it will help him prepare for Everson Griffen:
“First of all, T.J. is a great kid. We loved having him here. I think he’s progressed from day one, day two, and I know Bill Callahan is doing a great job with him. Yeah, it’ll be a tough matchup for Everson.”
On Case Keenum’s growth as a quarterback:
“I’ve only had him this year, but Case is a battler. He competes, he’s taking good care of the football, he’s made good decisions, got us in a lot of right plays. I think a lot of that should go not only to him, but to Pat Shurmur as well.”
On the challenge of facing the Redskins’ pass rushers:
“Both those two ends are really good. [Ryan] Kerrigan is an all-day affair. He’s tough and physical. And Preston Smith. Their defensive line does a nice job of getting pressure on a quarterback. Their secondary plays tight in coverage. I think they look really good to me.”
