Prepare for AP 2.0: 'He Is Still Going to Be in That Upper 1 Percent'

He's got a chip on both shoulders but not anywhere near his knees please!

I really think a lot of other teams are going to kick themselves for passing on him. I think we get a year out of him performing at an above average level. I'll be fine with that.
No matter what people are going to have to respect the run. He may not do it as often but they'll know that at some point he's going to rip one off.

He is right about Gore at 33 hitting 1,000. No reason he can't do it other than limited carriers which Payton said he is going to feed the hot hand. Ingram also seemed to go Wolverine with internal competition. Going to be fun watching if that goes down even if one is not a Saints fan. I would totally watch AP on another team (not the falcons) just for the hell of it.

Duo have to have a good blocking TE. I'm not a playbook warrior but I know that much. And Power the MLB, need to research those in our division. If any team has a deficiency at that position I see them getting a heavy dose of AP.

AP coming out of okla. with the doubt of the shoulder and team after team passed and he made them pay, your thinkin what i'm thinkin, yep he'll make um pay again in 17. ps didnt moss get his jump in minipop also.

Nice find, Guido.

Payton also asked some questions. He wanted to know Peterson's favorite runs. Peterson's answer? Power and Duo. These have not been staples of the Saints' running game in the past. But that might be changing, and luckily the team has a fullback in John Kuhn who can help make it work.

"There are certain runs that he values over others," Payton says. "Well then I value them, too."

I too am anxiously optimistic.

and yes to the article it was a nice read.

Personally I can't wait to see him in action. I think we are going to really see things we haven't seen from any running back we have had in the recent pass. This guy can take it to the house on any giving play. He has power and break away speed something that I don't think Mark Ingram has.
It's going to be fun to watch.

If he picks up steam early our games will have a massive audience. People want to see the magic before it goes off into the sunset.

He could potentially have the effect that Reggie did. bringing the Saints back as a nationally popular team to route for.
