Access Vikings morning walkthrough: The wrath of Zimmer, Sid loves him some Bridgewater and more

On most mornings, we walk you through what's going on with the Vikings.

WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED

— Coach Mike Zimmer was so frustrated with how the Vikings performed in the last practice of camp, he made them do something that some of them hadn't done since high school. But Zimmer's wrath didn't end there.

— Sid Hartman has changed his tune. The legendary columnist now believes the Vikings have found a franchise QB in Teddy Bridgewater.

— Linebacker Brian Peters, a virtual unknown who spent the last two seasons in the CFL, is hoping to be the Vikings' next undrafted gem.

— For NFL longshots like Peters, it pays to not be a dumbbell.

— In the latest Access Vikings podcast, Mark Craig joined Michael Rand and me to discuss the Hall of Fame Game, Mike Tingelhoff and Adrian Peterson. Craig also shared some of favorite camp memories. Brock Lesnar came up.

— Lions rookie running back Ameer Abdullah lived up to the hype with 67 rushing yards as the Lions beat the Jets in their preseason opener.

— The Packers picked up where they left off in their playoff loss to the Seahawks by struggling in the red zone against the Patriots last night.

— Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery missed the team's preseason opener with a strained calf. Oh, by the way, the Bears beat the Dolphins.
