Brett Favre returns to play for the Vikings this Sunday
I can’t say I’m surprised.
After putting us all through the ”will he or won’t he charade all over again, Brett Favre decided that he will postpone retirement and play for the Minnesota Vikings for the 2010 NFL football season after all.
And just to show how sure he was this time, he expressed a desire to play in Sunday’s preseason game at San Francisco a day after rejoining the Minnesota Vikings. On Friday, coach Brad Childress said that wish will be granted.
You read it, Brett Favre will play a series or possibly two during the nationally televised prime-time game on NBC. Childress said ideally the first series would go 10 plays for Favre because, “that’s what he needs right now and all he’s ready for right now.”
“I think he’s doing a good job of rounding into” form, Childress said. “He has been throwing the football, there is no question about that. Just conditioning his legs. … He’s versed in our system and our calls.”
Tarvaris Jackson will take over for Favre and play past halftime and then be replaced by Sage Rosenfels. Childress said he does not know whether rookie Joe Webb will get in the game. The rest of the first-team offense will play the first quarter.
Middle linebacker E.J. Henderson, who suffered a fractured femur last December, will make his first appearance this preseason and play with most of the defensive starters in the first quarter.
The rotation at the cornerback spots will be a bit different…

Bradford processes information quickly. He scans the field and is able to work the progression of the play. By working the progression, we mean check out receivers in order to see if they are covered and getting the ball to the open guy. He has the vision to find the next receiver quickly.
give the Washington Redskins a solid threat at the QB spot. Something Jason Campbell failed at, miserably, the last couple of seasons.
