Tarvaris Looked Good Under Pressure

The Minnesota Vikings has their third preseason game last Saturday, and thankfully, I got more of an opportunity to check out hot new quarterback Tarvaris Jackson. He had a little hiccup to start the game (he fumbled the first snap), but overall, I was very impressed by his performance. He didn’t throw any touchdowns, but he also didn’t throw for any interceptions. He had some incomplete balls, but the Seattle Seahawks defense was really putting the rush on him. He did a good job at reading blitzes and getting passes out of the pocket quickly. I was encouraged by his performance because what he displayed is what the Vikings will need this year: a cut-down on mistakes and positive yardage wherever they can get it. There are still great Vikings tickets to watch the final preseason game at the Metrodome on Thursday night! Did I mention it’s the Dallas Cowboys who are coming to town? Tony Romo is so yummy!
