The Vikings' starting offense likely will play one half of football against the Arizona Cardinals on Saturday at U.S. Bank Stadium.
That gives them one more chance to work on the new system being put in by offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski, assistant head coach Gary Kubiak and offensive line coach Rick Dennison.
Coach Mike Zimmer said he likes what he is seeing from that first unit so far.
But there's no doubt that hiring Stefanski as a first-time coordinator and then bringing in Kubiak — one of the most respected names in football — is a unique situation.
How does Zimmer think Kubiak is doing?
"He has worked out great. Him and Kevin have worked out really well together," Zimmer said. "The communication between those two guys on the sideline is outstanding. I'm ecstatic over how it's going."
Does he think Stefanski is getting into a good rhythm calling plays?
"They're all helping, they're all chiming in on different plays and different things to help the players play better," Zimmer said. "That is really what we're trying to do."
