Not that this is much of a surprise considering how he performed in his debut with the franchise on Sunday, but the Minnesota Vikings are sticking with Joshua Dobbs.
with the franchise on Sunday, but the Minnesota Vikings are sticking with Joshua Dobbs.Dobbs — who the Vikings traded for last week in the wake of Kirk Cousins' Achilles injuryDobbs entered the game Sunday after rookie Jaren Hall went down with a concussion in the first quarter at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta.
"I thought what he did was remarkable, but there's a lot of things that we'll coach him through and get him a little bit more comfortable in what we do," O'Connell said,Dobbs landed in Minneapolis on Tuesday last week to join what is his fifth team in the last calendar year. He started the season with the Cardinals starting for the injured Kyler Murray, but was benched just before the trade deadline.
It took Dobbs a while to get going in Atlanta. He took a sack that resulted in a safety in just his third play and he fumbled the ball away twice. But Dobbs got the Vikings back within a single point before halftime after a 2-yard toss to Alexander Mattison, and then he tied the game up on a wild 18-yard run and subsequent two-point conversion.
Then to end the day, Dobbs mounted an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive to give the Vikings the win. He finished throwing 20-of-30 for 158 yards, and had a team-high 66 rushing yards on seven carries. He did all of that without having taken a single snap with the first-team offense earlier in the week or even knowing the names of all of his teammates.via the Star Tribune
