Outshined Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Vikings injury report: LB Erin Henderson (calf), did not participate; LB Heath Farwell (hamstring), limited in today's practice; G Anthony Herrera (back), limited; TE Jim Kleinsasser (hand), full participation. What it means: Wide receiver Bernard Berrian was not limited in a practice for the first time in several weeks. Berrian played last Sunday against Cleveland but appeared to be slowed by a hamstring injury suffered in the first preseason game. He wasn't listed so here's hoping he is close to 100%...

FinZone Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Well I hope he displays some sort of value...especially against the Lions. Of course this all depends on Favre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosberg34 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I'm starting him in hopes that this rapport will bloom on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussMan Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Farve is killing Berrian. He is the new MR CHECKDOWN. He doesn't go downfield - ever ! Makes you wonder if the guy has any are or guts left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder if the guy has any are or guts left. Ugh, looks like I'll have to maybe see if there's any fantasy value in the WR department that hasn't been picked up. This is ridiculous.

RussMan Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Farve has neutered Berrian with his complete lack of a downfield game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tosberg34 Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) Farve has neutered Berrian with his complete lack of a downfield game. This sucks for me as I have Berrian, but isn't this what MN fans wanted? Just someone to hand off to AP? Oh yeah, I have now completely soured on Berrian. Thanks, Favre.

Valhalla Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 When he caught the ball today, he looked sloowwwwww. His hamstring is still a glaring issue, I don't care what the injury report says... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judge Smales Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 Well Mr. Berrian, meet the bench. Looks like Steve Smith (NYG) just took your place on my team. This is note to everyone that Berrian will go off next week. So far I've managed to sit Hasselback over Schaub in week 1 and then played HAss over Schaub this week so I think the juggling WR3 trick will start next week.

RussMan Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Vikings coach Brad Childress squashed thoughts that he's not looking to get the ball downfield in the passing game. If only Brett Favre and Bernard Berrian could have played together 10 years ago, they might really have something. But Berrian, who averaged 20.1 yards per catch in 2008, is averaging 7.7 yards per catch this season. "[Favre] is playing the way we need him to play to win," Childress said. "Are we looking for balls up the field? We are ... we just haven't had that many yet." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebellab Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Add in the fact that the offensive line is not allowing a seven step drop to get the ball down the field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexgaddis Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Two reasons Farve has not gone downfield much yet: 1. Missing preseason does hurt. He is playing very safe early on but I expect as the weeks go on he will be opening it up more 2. Look at the opponents. I know neither game was in hand until the third quarter but Favre didn't NEED to throw deep to get the Vikings to a 2-0 start against two inferior opponents...

Schaub over Hass week one and Hass over Schaub in week two.... Thank god I don't have to make that decision again for awhile.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearBroncos Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 Don't give up on Berrain yet. To many things that is preventing him from being explosive. First, the Farve / Berrain connection. Farve is still finding his grove. Next, Berrain is still recovering from a hammy so not quite able to make the cuts like he shouild. Minnesota should be careful and not over play AP. They could ruin thier all star back which I think they are aware of. They are waiting for Farve to get confortable but until then, giving the major workload to AP. Onces there is some confort behind center and AP running strong, watch that deep ball fly at least twice a game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First even if Berrian is still hurt, Farve hasn't thrown downfield to any other WR either. As for AP being overworked - Chester Taylor. Farve doesn't go downfield ever - he has lost his arm or his guts -- maybe both. At some point he has to show the other team's defenses that he is willing and able to go deep...

mcnabbmcnow Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 I am losing patience with Berrian. Thinking about cutting him for Walker or Knox... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RussMan Posted September 24, 2009 Share Posted September 24, 2009 I am losing patience with Berrian. Thinking about cutting him for Walker or Knox... Same here.. I'm so close to pulling the plug on him. I'll give him another week.. If broken down Favre doesn't throw his way I'll cut him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
