Seattle QB Tavaris Jackson struggles again

The Minnesota Vikings were reunited Saturday night with an old friend, new Seattle quarterback Tarvaris Jackson. They didn't treat him very kindly.

Jackson was running for safety most of the night and struggled as the Vikings beat the Seahawks 20-7. He completed 11 of 21 passes for 75 yards and one interception that deflected off receiver Golden Tate’s hands and was returned for a touchdown by cornerback Marcus Sherels.

New Minnesota quarterback Donovan McNabb led a long drive that ended in the first of Ryan Longwell’s two field goals for Minnesota.

McNabb led a 13-play drive that started at the 1 and ended in Longwell’s 36-yard field goal. Longwell added a 34-yarder.

McNabb was 6 of 8 for 81 yards. Tristan Davis added a 35-yard TD run with 2:09 left for Minnesota’s first offensive touchdown of the preseason.

Fantasy Impact: 

As long as Jackson is under center, Sidney Rice, Mike X Williams, and Zach Miller are all likely to struggle.

Matt Hasselbeck

Tennessee QB Jake Locker Looks Sharp

Tennessee Titans rookie quarterback Jake Locker threw a 45-yard touchdown pass in his NFL debut, and Tennessee beat Minnesota to make new coach Mike Munchak a winner in his preseason opener.

Matt Hasselbeck started for Tennessee, and the veteran signed to a three-year contract to mentor Locker and make the Titans competitive this season looked sharp in his lone series. He completed 5 of 6 passes for 55 yards in an opening drive marred by a botched handoff leading to a 30-yard loss.

Donovan McNabb made his first start for Minnesota, and completed four of his first five passes before having the sixth knocked down by rookie linebacker Akeem Ayers. McNabb came back for a second series before leaving the game 6 of 11 for 40 yards.

Locker, the eighth pick overall from Washington, had his moment, too. He dropped the ball off the snap before picking it up, rolling to his right and throwing a perfect pass to Yamon Figurs for a TD. Locker played one series into the third quarter, and he was 7 of 10 for 89 yards with a passer rating of 130.8.

Fantasy Impact: 

Locker and Hasselbeck won't have much stand-alone value this season, but Locker is a good prospect in keeper leagues and solid quarterback play will help Chris Johnson (if he ever shows up) and Kenny Britt.

Instead of trying to plug quarterback Donovan McNabb into their offense, the Minnesota Vikings are trying to plug their offense into Donovan McNabb.

Minnesota offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave hopes to revitalize the 34-year old passer by making McNabb as comfortable as possible in his offense. It is a marked departure from the approach the Redskins took last year, when McNabb had his most disappointing NFL season.

"Our whole offensive staff is trying to put him in position to have success," said Musgrave, who came to the Vikings from the Falcons, where he coached Matt Ryan. "We are customizing and tailoring the Vikings system to fit his strengths."

Musgrave has studied what McNabb had success with in Philadelphia and is including many of those concepts in the new Vikings offense.

Fantasy Impact: 

McNabb will benefit from a change in scenery, but he's hampered by the fact that two of Minnesota's main receivers are Michael Jenkins and Bernard Berrian. And there is the very real chance he will give way to Christian Ponder at some point in the season. When it comes time to draft your backup quarterback, you should look elsewhere.

Brett Favre played in the NFL until he was 41 years old...

Brett Favre played in the NFL until he was 41 years old. Donovan McNabb said Sunday after reporting to training camp that he plans to exit before Favre did, but then made it clear that won't be anytime soon.

"I feel like I've got five more years left, five or six more years left," said McNabb, who will turn 35 on Nov. 25. "If that puts me at 40, so be it. The whole thing about it is playing at a high level, still competing at this game, and I still feel like I have gas [in the tank]."

If McNabb accomplishes this goal, his career isn't likely to end in Minnesota. The Vikings did not draft quarterback Christian Ponder with the 12th pick in the first round last April to put him on a five-year development plan.

Ponder realizes this but also understands McNabb's outlook.

"Obviously, I think anyone in this league is always trying to be here as long as they can," Ponder said. "Of course that's going to be his mentality. And he's good enough to do that.
