Well, we’re one week into the Preseason. The Vikings beat the Colts 13-3 Friday night. Like I mentioned before, winning and losing doesn’t mean much for the preseason, but we did see some important things.

SAGE ROSENFELS LOOKED GOOD
He went 10 for 13 for 91 yards. He looked sharp and he looked comfortable. [...]

Brad Childress has told local radio stations that Sage Rosenfels will start at QB tonight in their first preseason game against the Colts.
Coach Childress has made it clear all week that whoever starts tonight does not have a leg up in the QB competition overall.  Since Rosenfels is starting tonight, Jackson will start next week [...]

The starter for this Friday’s preseason game hasn’t been determined just yet.
But when they decide who starts Friday, it won’t be any indication of who the Vikings coaches believe will be the starter when Week 1 finally comes around.
Coach Childress has stated that he wants to see each of the two QBs play with the [...]

The things I learned from last night’s preseason game

Well, the Vikings lost to the Cowboys last night. (Click HERE for a game recap)  The starters didn’t play at all, so in my opinion final scores don’t mean much. But I do think there were some important things that went down last night.
 
 -John David Booty should get the 3rd string job
I won’t say he [...]

Tonight is the fourth and final (FINALLY) pre-season game for the Minnesota Vikings.  They will be travelling to Dallas to play what I predict will be a preview of the NFC championship game against the Cowboys.

Childress has said that he will not play any of his starters tonight.  Wade Phillips has pretty much said the [...]

For the most part I was pretty pleased with the first team on Saturday night. The defense REALLY stepped it up. In 2 1/2 quarters of play, the first team defense only gave up 76 total yards.  The defensive line was in the backfield all night long, and even though Jared Allen didn’t [...]

Pre-Game Thoughts: Vikings vs Steelers

Tomorrow night the Vikings will play the Steelers.
 
I’m hoping for a few things…
-Limited (if any) time for Tarvaris Jackson.  I want to see him get some snaps, but not as much as I want him to stay healthy.  I want him at 100% when the games start counting, so if that means he has to [...]

Well, there was some good, and some bad.
Good News:  Tarvaris Jackson still looks good.  7 for 11 for 82 yards, a TD, and no picks.  Nice outing by Jackson

Bad News:  T-Jack sprained his MCL during the first quarter.  It’s not a serious injury, and he should be fine by the season opener, but he’ll likely [...]
