Minnesota Vikings defensive end Brian Robison stopped by “NFL AM” Tuesday morning to discuss, among other things, the Thursday Night Football matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Robison, fresh of a three sack, eight tackle, one forced fumble performance against the Arizona Cardinals, won this weeks “Hello My Name Is” segment on “NFL AM”.
The six-year pro said the key for the Vikings defense on Thursday will be stopping Bucs running back Doug Martin.
