    Don't cry for me- Robert Ferguson

    Ferguson finds role with Vikings


    Unlike his ex-Packers/current Vikings teammates, safety Darren Sharper and kicker Ryan Longwell, both of whom left Green Bay on less-than-amicable terms, Ferguson said he still talks to about "25 guys" on the team. He said he called Sunday to congratulate them and Favre, who tied Dan Marino's NFL record for career touchdown passes with 420 in the Packers' 31-24 win over San Diego.

    "I'm in a great situation. I'm thankful that it went down the way it did to where I can really help this team and really, really do some (positive) things," Ferguson said.

    Asked if he wished he was still with the Packers, given their 3-0 start, he replied, "Not at all. I'm a Viking. I'm not even concerned about what they're doing there. My concern right now is (being) 1-2 and the number of situations we have to correct.

    Ferguson had eight passes thrown his way in Week 2 against Detroit, catching three of them for 29 yards. Last week against Kansas City, he started in place of an injured Troy Williamson (hamstring) but didn't have a catch.

    "He played 54, 55 plays (Sunday). He stepped in, had no assignment errors," Vikings coach Brad Childress said. "I will tell you, what he did tremendously is he was tenacious in terms of blocking people down the field. He had people on the ropes."

    Ferguson expects to do more this week against his former club than just help the Vikings defensive coaches with his insight into the Packers' offense.

    Now this is funny.

    He started in place of an injured Troy Williamson but didn't have a catch.

    "He played 54, 55 plays. He stepped in, had no assignment errors," Vikings coach Brad Childress said.

        Maybe a slight exaggeration. I don't think defenses are going to look at the schedule when they play the Vikes and say "Oh, damn, we're going against Robert Ferguson this week!"

              If Williamson if still injured, Fergy will be matched up with Woodson...

              I bet Woodson is shaking in his shoes right now knowing he has such a tough challenge this week...

                He can cover him with his eyes closed...just follow the scent of alligator (arms).

                  Don't you remember his rookie season ? He was inactive for over half the season and much of that was his immaturity.

                    He was a 21 year old kid. Didn't turn 22 until the season was almost done. To his credit he realized his mistake and was a dedicated player thereafter from everything I have seen. The next season even Favre singled him out for his hard work.

                      I don't give out free passes for immaturity. Lots of young players come in here with good attitudes. Some with crappy ones. He was the latter.

                        You are blinded by your hatred for Fergy B. He didn't work out as a Packer, but he was NOT a jerk.

                          Who said give him a free pass?
                          From all reports he let it get to his head for a few months, training camp until part way into the season. He made a mistake, realized it and corrected it. Should that be held against him forever?

                          Contrast his few months of immaturity, which hurt no one but himself, with some of the other athletes who never get it figured out.

                          Do you want every foolish thing you did in college or the summer after held against you forever? I know I don't.

                            That depends on your definition; by all accounts from what I've read year one he was a jerk as a teammate. Year two he gave it his all but it never worked for him

                              I never heard him referred to as a jerk as a teammate. All I ever heard was that he did not practice hard or study as much as he should have. He tried to take an easy way, of which, of course, there is none. Makes him lazy, not a jerk.
