Winfield is NOT a shutdown corner, not even close. What he is, is the best tackling CB in the league and that is part of what helps the MN defense play such good run defense. The rookie CB that replaced him when he was injured did as good or better in coverage than Winfield but it was pretty obvious that he isnt the same as Winfield in run support. The Pack is the only team to really effectively run on the Vikes this year and that was the first game they played without Winfield.
