Winfield impressive in scrimmage

Winfield Impressive

Cornerback Antoine Winfield had a very impressive performance in the morning session against the Chiefs. Winfield recorded two interceptions, a couple passes defended and laid a number of big hits. Winfield was the biggest free agent addition to the Vikings. He was brought in to solidify one side of the defensive secondary. If his performance this morning was any indication of what we'll see this season, Vikings fans are in for a treat.

And now when he's not on our team anymore, he decides to light it up and actually catch them. :shakeno:

Probably because Ted Cottrell knows how to use him. I bet HE doesn't line him up 5-10 yards off the LOS every play like Gray did last year. :cynic:

Uhh, wasn't Cottrell here when Winfield was here? He didn't get INTs then either. :mad:

Yes he was. So he had a good scrimmage. He won't keep it up.

Who ****ing cares Vincent will do just as well with more int's. Vincent's and Winfield's tackling #'s th elast 3-4 years are nearly identical except Vincent has more picks.

Winfield is more of a shutdown corner ... he is never gonna give up the big play.

Vincent is more of a half shut down / half interception corner so he is going to go for it sometimes, miss, and give up the big play.

It is pick your poision. But both are pretty good CB's.

Winfield got burnt very badly, many times last year. I even remember seeing a few plays against the Fins. :mad:

I can remember 2 - if you can only remember 2 from an entire year then thats pretty good ...

... name then - give phots. I have all the games on Tiv0.

He's costing the Vikes 12 million on their cap this season- he better pick off a pass in a scrimmage

[Iehoshua]

Ohhhh you mean Antoine "All-Hits, No-Picks" Winfield!

He got 2 ints in the scrim? Uh oh... Sorry Vikes, he's already got his total picks for the season. Hope you aren't expecting to see any more.

I remember Winfield getting handled against Cinci, although that was mostly scheme. He let up big plays against Washington, a few against Tennessee, against Miami. It wasn't common but it happened.
