It makes me nervous to think what could have happened if they kept using AP and started running more play action.

I think the defense will be better than last years, but stopping the run is still yet to be determined. The good news is that we don't face AP every week.

Ok Fair Comment, but think about this. Yes Peterson had a couple of runs that were roughly 7 or 8 yards, However we stuffed em in 3rd and short situations i believe about three times when they tried to run it. Plus peterson is a premier back who will do that defenses, i wanna see Junior play a bit, but i'm definitley excited!!
