The Vikes may be forced to make a change at QB this week... according to "The REAL Feed":
With Jackson dinged up, Holcomb and Bollinger are competing
SI.com: NFL (19.09.2007 20:19)
My money's on Holcomb to get the knod this Sunday... and, perhaps, keep the job...  Holcomb's strong arm also, perhaps, puts Williamson back on the fantasy map,...  as he may not be a good route runner, BUT he can fly.

Had Holcomb been able to deliver a win in the 2 game absence of TJ, I think he'd still be starting. Seriously, even winning 1 of the 2 (both were winnable!), and Holcomb would be in there.
As it is, the Vikings feel they may as well go with the kid. He's got a rocket arm, and is very mobile (Holcomb is neither). Problem for TJ is accuracy. If he can every become a better passer, he'll be pretty good. I think they'll stick with him the rest of the way. Holcomb just didn't show any reason to hold on to the leash.

What I don't understand is how Childress could miss this far on Jackson. Remember, they traded 2 3rds to move up to the end of the 2nd to take him. Most had him rated a 4th rounder, so the Vikings really wanted him. No one can figure out why... |

Vikings to let Childress go?
There's a lot of rumor on several message boards and fansites out there that Wilf is going to buy out the rest of Childress' contract and let rookie DC Leslie Frazier head the team for the remainder of the season...(and in effect, get an extended interview for the job).
I'm not even going to post links, as they're all fansites and message boards...nothing concrete, but if this is true, I think it's a big mistake. Granted, Childress hasn't shown anything to inspire the fans, but he's working with an absolutely horrid QB sitch. Mostly by his own doing, to be sure, but I think the team needs to see if it can rectify that this offseason by trying to get another QB in there to see if Childress' "kickass" offense can take flight....er....run...er.....ok, just get off it's fat arse!
Anyway...stay tuned.

From "The REAL Feed": 
Good pickup next week??? 
Situation does seem just a little "Brad Johnson-esque" from back in the day.
