Leslie Frazier believes that Josh Freeman can lead the Minnesota Vikings to success.
The head coach confirmed yesterday that the former Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback will start against the New York Giants on Monday.
Frazier told reporters: "We're going to see how the week goes, but our anticipation is that he'll be ready to go on Monday night and he'll perform well. We're going to need our entire team to perform well in order for us to get a win on Monday night in New York.
"I like the things that he's done in his career along with the things he's done since he arrived here with our football team. The time he's put in, how well he's adapting to our system and I like his work ethic.
"We think now is the time and our coaching staff is going to do a great job in preparing him and making sure we have a game plan that will allow him to be successful and allow our team to be successful."
Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder have also started games for the NFC North side so far this season.
