What to Expect of Brett Favre in One Half vs Houston Texans

Game day is marching towards us as the third week of preseason is now setting in. Brett is now also entering his second week of work with the boys in purple and all that the Viking faithful know for sure is that he's here, after a long and painful wait, he's here.

Brad Childress reported Monday, August 24 that Brett will not only start Friday in Houston against the Texans, but will play the entire first half. A move that no doubt will give Favre what he needs; time with his new teammates and game-time.

Then again, what will Brett do? What will he accomplish? And now with Bernard Berrian back in the offense, what capabilities should Favre/Childress test out on a sub-par Texan defense?

Nothing.

Brett is going to go in with only a week of work and we will see him, not as susceptible, but close to what he was against the Chiefs. He won't throw 1-for-4 for 4 yards. That much is clear.

The problem though, is being Brett Favre, I can't help but notice how everything he does is almost showing off. He gets the call from Chilly and doesn't even escape the phone call without asking to start THAT Friday...

As such, many will probably hype this up to a 150-200 yard performance with a touchdown or two and maybe a pick.

Well, the pick will probably happen either way.

Let's think logically though. With how Childress wants to use him, we can tell that his performance will likely crack three digits (or close to) but lets not give the guy that much credit. The last time we saw him on a football field (besides Friday at the Dome) he threw the worst six game stretch of his career.

Then agian, maybe he will throw up what he claims, but if I were a betting man (and I am) I wouldn't count on it.

What do you think?
