Eden Prairie, MN (SportsNetwork.com) – Despite a lackluster performance in his debut with the club, Josh Freeman will remain the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8 against the Green Bay Packers.<\/p>\n
Head coach Leslie Frazier gave Freeman his vote of confidence Tuesday during his interview session with the media.<\/p>\n
“It was more technical stuff,” said Frazier when referring to why Freeman struggled. “The mental part, he was sharp. He did a great job of running our offense. There are some things from a technical standpoint that we will have to work on to get him better.”<\/p>\n
Freeman finished his debut with the Vikings going just 20-of-53 for 190 yards with a one interception and a 40.6 QB rating.<\/p>\n
Freeman started the season with Tampa Bay, but struggled in the club’s first three games and was released in early October.<\/p>\n
He completed just 45.7 percent of his passes with the Bucs for 571 yards with two touchdowns and three interceptions before being benched in favor of rookie Mike Glennon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
