Mike Zimmer has brutal quote about cutting struggling Vikings kicker

Head coach Mike Zimmer surely won't stand for that, and a tough conversation about a kicker general manager Rick Spielman chose to trade up for in April's draft is looming.

The Minnesota Vikings saw their strong effort against the Green Bay Packers in Week 2 come up short in the kicking game, leading to a 29-29 tie. That sealed his fate, and when asked about Carlson's release, Zimmer was pretty blunt in his assessment.

Carlson missed field goals from 48, 49 and 35 yards in the Vikings' 29-29 overtime tie against the Packers. So as expected, questions about the move were what Zimmer had to answer first.

Zimmer has never been one to mince his words and he kept up with this habit with his responses on Monday.

A source said the Vikings also plan to sign wide receiver Aldrick Robinson.

As the National Football League season picks up, coaches are making it clear to kickers that there is absolutely no room for error.

Adam Schefter reports on Minnesota replacing Daniel Carlson with Dan Bailey and Greg Joseph replacing Zane Gonzalez in Cleveland. Head coach Mike Zimmer showed no remorse for his decision.

Is this a decision the Vikings wanted to be making just two weeks into the 2018 season?

Carlson lamented postgame that nerves likely played a role in missing his final kick.
