But the Vikings are much healthier. Only three players on the 53-man roster sat out Wednesday's practice. One was linebacker Erin Henderson, who was ill.Frazier was not available after practice to comment on Henderson's status.
I think the original source was confused, but I guess we'll find out.wtf, I just checked rotoworld and google and theres nothing. If the guy is so sick that hes already ruled out (or pushed out) then it must be really bad.
I don't think Henderson sees the field for the rest of the season baring injurywhat if it's henderson and greenway in nickel?
what happened to henderson at wlb?I don't think Henderson sees the field for the rest of the season baring injurywhat if it's henderson and greenway in nickel?
yeah, that's pretty bush league.Wow, is that seat getting a little hot Leslie
Coach Leslie Frazier admitted Wednesday he never wanted Erin Henderson to be the Vikings' starting middle linebacker.
Henderson only got the job because the Vikings missed out on an early-round Mike 'backer in the draft, and Desmond Bishop flopped. "He was moved to the Mike linebacker position, not necessarily because that’s what we wanted to do," Frazier said of Henderson. "That was the plight that we were in." Henderson has now been "demoted" to the weak side, with Audie Cole taking over in the middle.
I have never seen a coach come out and say this during a season
I'm not seeing the problem. He wanted Henderson as his WILL, but it didn't work out that way draft day and none of the potential MIKE's they brought in worked, so Henderson played MIKE. This is why it wasn't really announced until just before week 1, they were looking for someone else but no one emerged. Cole stepped in and played very well in Henderson's absence, so slide Henderson over to his more natural position and give Cole an audition for the MIKE role next year.Kool-Aid Larry said:yeah, that's pretty bush league.KellysHeroes said:Wow, is that seat getting a little hot Leslie
