Remmers and Compton finished the year allowing the third- and 12th-most pressures among guards, according to PFF.

Three years ago in Los Angeles, the interior line was Remmers at right guard, Pat Elflein at center and Tom Compton at left guard. Oli Udoh, who's bigger but leads the league in penalties with 15, probably will step back in at right guard, where he started the first 11 games before moving to left tackle for two games and then to the bench last week. Two came during Hicks' mauling of the undersized Mason Cole at right guard.Ĭole suffered an elbow injury while giving up six total pressures in that game.

"We have to find a way to deal with him."Ĭook said that Wednesday when the Vikings thought they'd be at full strength, as receiver Adam Thielen was moving toward returning from an ankle injury. "The way gets his hands in and out, the way he attacks defenders, the way his mind processes before the ball is even snapped … it's crazy," he said. "But also, he's got excellent quickness and strength, and so when you combine those two, guys can give you a little shake and then power you, or they can just run by you." " got great determination, which I think is part of it," Zimmer said. The key to beating Los Angeles on Sunday starts with neutralizing Donald, the Rams' greatest strength, with an interior offensive line that's better than three years ago but still a weakness against the likes of Chicago's Akiem Hicks, Green Bay's Kenny Clark and, of course, "the best" three-technique defensive lineman the 65-year-old Zimmer says he has ever seen. and, of course, former Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford have joined owner Stan Kroenke's all-in effort to create a Hollywood dream team whose only acceptable finish to this season is winning Super Bowl LVI at home in SoFi Stadium.īut make no mistake.

Sometimes, the reporter said to Zimmer, Donald's dominance looks like some sort of lopsided matchup you'd see at the high school level. Bank Stadium on Sunday in the first meeting since Donald put a red-hot Kirk Cousins down for good in that prime-time shootout in L.A. Zimmer's current team - 7-7, clinging to the NFC's last playoff spot and sans Dalvin Cook (reserve/COVID-19) - faces the Rams (10-4) at U.S. Vikings coach Mike Zimmer was asked this week about that relatively nondescript play as a classic example of a three-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year's rare ability to obliterate. "Donald gets past Mike Remmers before he even gets out of his stance!" the Hall of Famer turned analyst marveled when Donald exploded from his three-technique position, swam by Remmers and dropped Latavius Murray for no gain as Remmers whirled in the wake before landing on his backside 4 yards behind the line of scrimmage.

There was a point in the Los Angeles Rams' 38-31 victory over the Vikings in 2018 when Troy Aikman laughed at the ease with which Aaron Donald can turn professional guards into Keystone Kops.
