Thread: CB Antoine Winfield (official thread)

Quote: Winfield used in limited role 1/4/2010 By Guy N. Limbeck Post-Bulletin, Rochester MN MINNEAPOLIS -- After having two straight rough games, Vikings cornerback Antoine Winfield had a more limited role on Sunday. Winfield missed six games with a foot injury and has now played the last four games. Benny Sapp played the majority of the game at cornerback and Winfield came in on passing situations when an extra defensive back was used....

Quote: Still-struggling Winfield sets his sights on Sunday By JUDD ZULGAD, Star Tribune Last update: January 1, 2010 Antoine Winfield doesn't know the exact role he will play Sunday against the Giants, but the Vikings cornerback said Friday that discussions have included everything from having him start to playing only in the nickel or perhaps just on third downs. What Winfield doesn't want to do is continue to feel like he is...

Link Quote: Team MVP : It?s rare that a cornerback could take these honors, but the most consistent player to this point of the season has been Antoine Winfield. DT Kevin Williams has been excellent, too, but he has had two big games to inflate his numbers. Teams simply do not throw Winfield?s way, and when they do, they often pay. He has two touchdowns this season, one coming off a blocked field goal in the wild road win in New Orleans that...

What fun to watch Winfield put some nasty hits on folks twice his size. Loved the guy in S & G and love him now in that horned hat. BTW - have the vikings become the Official Team of Hell's Angels MC? As a person of Nordic/Germanic roots I'm offended by the picture of white males with clubs and animal skins. (note use of sarcasm font)

This is very sad (I'm a Packer fan). My only hope is that he will stop Harrington and Grossman but let Favre throw all over him.
