What’s attractive with Vikings’ preseason games?

As the three-day 2010 NFL draft ended with each team landing a bunch of new faces, what’s expected to be seen in the preseason games is also coming to a conclusion. Here we will have a look at what the Minnesota Vikings fans are expecting of the preseason.

The Vikings’ first preseason show will be against the St. Louis Rams on August 14. With the first overall pick, quarterback Sam Bradford, the Rams will have a chance to test whether the rookie quarterback deserves all the fame, while the Vikings could have a overall view of how well their rookies could deal with situations in a real game.

The second game is to playing against the San Francisco 49ers on Aug. 22. While the 49ers will feature newly drafted offensive linemen Anthony Davis and Mike Lupati as well as safety Taylor Mays and wide receiver Ted Ginn, the Vikings are expected to show what performance cornerback Chris Cook and running back Toby Gerhart can give off if they are given important roles to play.

The third game against Seattle Seahawks will be the debut of left tackle Russell Okung and safety Earl Thomas, who are likely to co-work with veterans like running backs Leon Washington and LenDale White. However, this game will be much less attractive then the last one, September 2nd’s game against the Denver Broncos, who drafted the most high-profile quarterback Tim Tebow. Before the draft, some people thought that Tebow could be a perfect fit with the Vikings and regretted he did not have the chance to put on the purple Vikings jersey but joined the Broncos as the 25th overall pick. Whatsoever, Tebow will anyway play at the Mall of America Field for his first time, and Vikings fans could judge from his performance whether it’s really a pity that the Vikings missed him.
