AP Coming for a visit???

The real benefit of AP is going into singleback and the defense having to respect his ability. He puts defenders in the box and opens up the rest of the offense. I know AP was rushing 1.7 yards per carry last year before the injury, but what you didn't see was the Vikings passing attack was going off because people were making Sam Bradford beat them - which he did.

That actually had more to do with the Vikes' awful O-line play - none of their backs could get them to run block.
