Saints see “same old” Adrian Peterson
 

Fullback John Kuhn saw a lot of Adrian Peterson while Kuhn was with the Packers watching Peterson run against the Green Bay defense as a member of the Vikings.

The two players are now part of the same backfield in New Orleans, something Kuhn said on Thursday that he dreamed about while standing on the opposite sideline. Kuhn also said that Peterson looks like that player despite the passage of time and accumulation of injuries over the years.

“He looks the same way he looked when I was watching him from the other sideline for all those years,” Kuhn said, via ESPN.com. “He looks like the same old AP, and I’m just excited to see him in the same team colors.”

One difference from the “same old AP” in Thursday’s practice was the way he factored into the offense as a receiver, something he didn’t do much in Minnesota. Coach Sean Payton said he looked comfortable and was “on top of the protections,” which are important traits for Peterson to have if he’s going to play a lot in an offense with Drew Brees at quarterback.

Championship?

He'll be starting.

If so I hope that there's no drama with MI. I can't stand drama​ like that. If there's so much as a dirty look from one of them, ESPN will blow the story up and make it a huge distraction.

Two future HOF on the field at the same time?! Now add in a shifty Kamara into the fold. This could be scary for opposing defenses.

Bring it.

Re: Saints see “same old” Adrian Peterson
 

AP and Ingram in the backfield in a split-formation, Kamara in the slot and Thomas and Coleman/Snead on the flanks. How do you protect against that. There will be a hole somewhere to exploit.

Re: Saints see “same old” Adrian Peterson
 

You defend against that by keeping them off of the field. Come on D!!!

This will lead to some bad Mondays.

^^^ That's old school right there (Muncie/Galbreath).

Re: Saints see “same old” Adrian Peterson
 

Wayyyyyyyyyyy before my time lol.

Re: Saints see “same old” Adrian Peterson
 

I don't know..Tony was a great receiver RB. One of the best of all time. Ingram decent but nowhere near that level.

I was working as a sports photographer at the time. I'm old.

Re: Saints see “same old” Adrian Peterson
 

Mine too (I'll be 37 in December) but my dad would talk about the old school guys all of the time.


Dempsey
Brenner
Muncie
Manning
Rogers
Hilliard
Martin
Jackson
Swilling etc ...

We've had some good ones.

I've got dirt that calls me sir.;)

Re: Saints see “same old” Adrian Peterson
 

His fumbles are a large part of our Championship. I guess it's only fitting that we go all the way this year and get him the ring he didn't get back then.

You think the 2017 will be smoking the rope on game days?!?

Re: Saints see “same old” Adrian Peterson
 

It'll be a sweet F*ck You! to those sore losers in Minnesota when we march into Minny with him donning the black and gold and rob them from their revenge victory in their new US Bank Dome...

One negative/criticism so far, All-Day's legs didn't have the muscle I'm use to seeing on him...

Re: Saints see “same old” Adrian Peterson
 

I want to see him do it a REAL GAME!!!!!

Re: Saints see “same old” Adrian Peterson
 

Err... I want to see him do it in all 19 games. :doh: :goodidea: :stupid: :givemebeer:

Yeah, that would be good. Plus no beating children. Ok, that was a cheap shot. Stay healthy, and win a Super Bowl

I'm only 26

Re: Saints see “same old” Adrian Peterson
 

Curious to compare photos now to photos during training camp to see how much added muscle AP is able to add to his legs; and to assess his speed and power; he really looks like he's lost alot of leg volume...
