Berrian still not ready
August 28th, 2009 – 2:56 PM by Chip ScogginsWide receiver Bernard Berrian said today that he’s not able to practice fully because of a hamstring injury and isn’t sure whether he will play Monday night against the Texans.
Vikings coach Brad Childress said Berrian is “progressing” and has a chance of playing.
“I’m definitely feeling better,” Berrian said.
The Vikings need to get Berrian back on the field so that he can start to get his timing down with Brett Favre before the regular season. Berrian catches passes from Favre before practice, but that’s not anywhere close to game conditions.
“It’s definitely got to be full speed so the two of us can get that down,” Berrian said. “It’s more than full speed. It’s got to be against defenders. Running straight, obviously anybody can do that. But once you get to live action and you’re going against people, that’s where you start to get your timing down.”
– Quarterback Tarvaris Jackson was asked after practice about ESPN’s ”schism” report regarding Brett Favre and the quarterback situation.
“I don’t listen to that stuff because we all know the decision has been made as far as the leader of our team and quarterback position,” Jackson said. “Everybody is pretty much behind him and trying to support him and trying to get him caught up with everything we’re trying to do around here as far as the offense goes. But there’s not too much he has to learn because he’s been in this offense a long, long time. Probably just as long as I’ve been living. I’m just supporting him and trying to get better myself. Just trying to watch him and ask as many questions as possible.”
Update: Agent Drew Rosenhaus just tweeted that wide receiver Glenn Holt, waived by the Vikings on Thursday, has been claimed by the Detroit Lions.

This is fine, BB will be ready for week 1.
T-Jack still knows he has to get better 
Enough with the schism questions guys! We already gotta deal with douche bad Schefter and the rest of the ESPN morons keep talking about this and now we still have to hear about it from you guys. You’re the ones making this a distraction by asking them about it. LET IT GO!!!!

Now that is what I was hoping to hear !!!
NICE STATEMENT T JACK !!!
That is how you like to hear team mates stand behind one another..Fine job
Mr. Jackson !!!…Fine job…
Go Vikes !!!
Nice little dig by Jackson on Favre. “But there’s not too much he has to learn because he’s been in this offense a long, long time. Probably just as long as I’ve been living”
HA…that made my day.
1dle, do you think this schism could affect us even into the playoffs?
The schism is now a chasm. There is no hope. BSPN Senior Analyst, Propagande McFabrication reports fist fights and yelling matches between the two sides of the divided locker room. They have ordered 2 sets of t-shirts to show which quarterback has their allegiance.
What’s a schism?
it what happens when a guy cums
cc…A schism is just a pubic hair short of a chasm…
I mean “if” your splitting or spitting hairs !!….: )

Even B Wade has a nice interview on espn today..Standing behind the QB situation…And Favre…
Looks like everyone is on the same page now…To do what is best for the team to win a super bowl…
Go Vikes !!!
ESPN mag:
Bears-11-5
Vikes-9-7
Peckers-7-9
Lions-5-11
They say Vikes get a wildcard spot.
If ESPN was a person, it would be one of the Village People. Not sure which one…just whichever one was the most flaming.
They contradict themselves alot.
On the Bears: “Even with Cutlers arrival, the offense is average at best. But thats enough to make them super bowl contenders, as long as the special teams stay excellent and the 22nd ranked pass rush improves.
On the Vikings: No matter who starts at QB, the Vikings are contenders thanks to a stout O-line and a guy named AD. The D can dominate but a NFC North title hinges on when or if the 4 game suspension of the williams wall goes into effect.
ESPN has schism all over its chin.
Let’s hope Chili has the brains to hold Berrian out of Monday’s game, even if Berrian insists he’s ‘almost there’. Anyone who has ever played any sport, knows that a hamstring injury has to heal 100%, BEFORE you start pushing things. If he doesn’t heal properly, it will be on-again, off-again, all season long. Wait until week 1, if necessary. Favre and Berrian are both good enough to put it together - when he’s 100%. Rushing things would not be smart. GO VIKES!!!
