Call USAF HEALTH PROFESSIONS COLLECT 713-271-8638 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Herschel Walker, acquired by the Minnesota Vikings in a blockbuster trade last year, said he’s frustrated and confused over his role in the offense and the criticism he’s received on all fronts. “I don’t know how long I’ll play the game,” Walker told the Star Tribune in an interview from his Dallas home. “Herschel’s always going to do what’s best for Hers chel. I want to do what’s best for the Minnesota Vikings, because they gave up a ton to get me. But since I’ve been there, all they’ve done is act like I’m in the way, like I’m more of a burden than a help. It’s upsetting to me not knowing what’s going on.” The Vikings, who fell to 1-5 on Monday against the Philadelphia Eagles, traded seven high draft picks and five players last season for Walker in an attempt to bol ster their running game. But Walker is tied for 22nd in the NFL with 243 yards rushing. He is making $1 mil lion in salary, plus part of a $1.25 million exit bonus he received to accept the trade, but is averaging 11.5 car ries and 40.5 rushing yards per game. Peter Johnson, Walker’s agent, said the trade was a “terrible waste” for Walker and the Vikings. Walker will become a restricted free agent after this season. “Herschel would like to play several more years, but i blocki he doesn’t want to play as a blocking back or with a team that uses him three times a game,” Johnson said. “When he says he wants to play more, he means run more. He’s tired of being a million-dollar decoy.” Johnson said Walker’s recent play has resulted in part from his perplexity over his role with the team. “This has certainly been one of the worst trades in NFL history. Not only has it been a bad trade for the Vi kings, it’s been a bad trade for Herschel,” Johnson said. “I think now he’s trying too hard, and believe it or not he’s a very sensitive guy. He feels bad about the situa tion and is putting too much pressure on himself. Hers chel has not said this to me, but I think Herschel has lost confidence in himself and has become tentative.” Walker’s struggles were best exemplified Monday night as he had as many fumbles as carries or yards rushing (three).
