    NFL franchises spend millions of dollars on coaches and scouts and techs and ...

    Yet no one has noticed that the reason Peterson has seemed human lately is he has a tell that the D has probably figured out.

    I've taped the last few Vikes games... (just now have had time to watch).

    Peterson only put his mouthpiece in when he is getting the ball!!!!!!!!!

    If he is staying in to block... it remains tucked in his mask....

    If he is a receiver... it remains tucked in his mask!!!!

    Puke!! Whats the Vikings hotline #???

    That's pretty funny actually, although if that's the worst thing about his game, sign me up.

    Its easily fixable... obviously.

    Quentin Griffins did the same thing for Denver a couple of years ago. He had 2 big games then teams figured it out and now he is selling insurance in Mexico... ( i have no idea where he is now but that is a possiblity.)

    It's interesting to look at, but I don't think that has anything to do with the way he runs with the ball whenever he gets it. He's got moves.

    But it does have everything to do with the D. If they Know it not a run then PA is not effective... If it is a run they sell out!

    Cinvis that's really funny that you noticed that. While I'm sure that has something to do with AP bombing recently, I also think it has to do with the fact that he is a rookie and right around now is when rookies hit that "slump" because the NFL season is longer than college by a little.

    Or maybe he is not fully recovered from his knee injury.

    Maybe because teams that Minnesota plays can afford to stack the box because Tarvaris Jackson sucks nards.

    I'd assume a combination of all of those factors...

    oh shit...i didnt know you were serious...im pretty sure its the qbs fault, mainly why the jets running game bombed in the beginning of the season with penny at qb and somewhat better when kc is in...the box isnt stacked, get adrien a qb and his team will be a bigtime contender
