The Minnesota Vikings topped the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 26-16 Saturday at The Sauna... I mean The Bank. Mike Zimmer extends his career head coaching preseason record to a robust 6-0, but it came at a price as veteran road-grading right tackle Phil Loadholt was lost for the season with a torn achilles. The much maligned offensive line now has a new set of obstacles. Who's gonna step up? TJ Clemmings? Austin Shepherd? Babs? (Not Babs)
We dig into the NEW problematic offensive tackle position for the Vikings as well as touch on other "Not-so Famous Jameis" talking points on today's recap show.
