Tarvaris Jackson Rant

If the Vikings hope to salvage anything from this season, they have to pull the plug on Tarvaris Jackson. We have a dynamic offensive weapon in Adrian Peterson, an offensive line that can push other teams around and a top notch defense that just won’t quit, especially against the run. Brad Childress claims to run a west coast offense, but what I see from the Vikings is far from west coast, east coast, far coast, near coast whatever – it’s a nothing offense. Yes, we have AP, but we need a passing game as well just to mix things up. If you never pass the ball, the opposing teams' safeties and tight ends start creeping toward the line of scrimmage and then you have no chance of getting any big runs. You have to keep the safety on his toes and playing mid field or there are just too many bodies at the line for any running back to get through.

Brad Chilldress you have gotten yourself into quite of a pickle. I think you really put all your eggs in one basket (as my grandmother would say) with this Tarvaris Jackson boy and although I don’t think Kelly Holcomb is that much better, let’s at least give him or Brooks Bollinger a shot. Jackson just doesn’t look like NFL material.
