What We Learned in Preseason Game #1

With the first preseason game now in the books. There were some lessons that we all learned throughout the game. The first is this IF Favre does not return this season Tarvaris Jackson is our guy. In the game he was treated like a Manning or a Brady in the game. T-Jack played a series or two and that was the night for him.



Speaking of Quarterbacks, Sage Rosenfels completed 23 of 34 passes for 310 yards and three touchdowns.He played most of the game until rookie Joe Webb replaced him in the 4th quarter.Web completed 4 of 6 passes for 37 yards and one touchdown

• The battle for the No. 2 running back job didn't provide a lot of clarity. Albert Young got the start but rushed for minus seven yards in six carries. Rookie Toby Gerhart had 24 yards rushing on eight carries.
• Rookie DB Chris Cook forced a fumble on special teams as a gunner. He made an impact in his first NFL game. 
• On defense the backups played well in this contest,  Erin Henderson, who had six tackles and a sack. Defensive end Jayme Mitchell was impressive, recording two sacks and a pass breakup. 

The Vikes defense did not allow a TD, the only touchdown came against the special teams unit. So that means donuts for the defense.
