That's unfortunate. T-Jack actually looked decent in the Vikes game against the Seahawks.

The Vikes still lost horribly, but I was still hoping Tarvaris would embarrass himself. Jamie Dukes waxes poetic about the guy too.

Anyone see any glaring weaknesses to mock here?

He looked better against the Ravens.

Okay, if you guys have any interest in news from your week one opponent. The Vikes played without their top two WR's and their starting QB. Didn't seem to matter as their offensive line play was pretty bad. Offense struggled as the defense tore the Steelers a new arsehole. Lots of pressure on the QB, very solid play.


Peterson looked extremely ordinary. Not sure if it was the crap OL or him. Hard to tell sometimes.


Overall, I thought the Vikings outplayed the Steelers starters on both sides of the ball by a small margin.

Vikings D was all over B. Roethlisberger.
He had no time. I do like the Steelers 3-4 blitz packages. Hard too tell where the 4th guy is coming from.

I feel ya Rastak...he's my starting RB in my new franchise Madden 09 team and hasn't done much...then again, my skill level is All-Madden on there and have been pissed he hasn't broken a 50 yard run in my first 2 games. He's a bust!
