Winfield has no regrets
Vikings CB Antoine Winfield said he had a productive meeting with coach Brad Childress, after his criticism of the offense Monday.
But Winfield did learn a lesson.
"I know what to, and what not to, say in the media," Winfield said.
Winfield said he had a "positive conversation" with Childress.
Asked if he had any regrets, Winfield said, "Oh, no regrets.
"I think it was a good thing. I could tell this morning, in our team meeting," Winfield said.
Childress said during his press conference that he can "understand his frustration."
"He's a great competitor," Childress said of Winfield. "He's a guy that puts it out there each and every week of the season. He has for a long period of time, whether it's Buffalo or here, and he's frustrated. He's an eight-year pro who wants to win, who probably is not going to play another eight years, and he wants to win now. And so I feel it."
FB Tony Richardson and TE Jermaine Wiggins were among the veterans who supported Winfield's comments.

Sounds like it worked out OK.
The last two days, I haven't sensed any resentment toward Antoine, and players genuinely seem to be Ok with it.
