Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

I hope he doesn't try too much and re-injure himself or create a turnover.

“In my mind, we’re starting and ending the season in Minnesota,” Peterson said. “Of course I want to stick it to them. I want to stick it to everyone we play. But going back to Minnesota, playing the Vikings? Yeah, I want to stick it to them.”

Don't be surprised if he spends a lot of the game faking around on the opposite side of the field from the ball...

Bayfield, near Durango? I spent Christmas there a couple years back, really enjoyed going up to Purgatory and having some good brews up there.

Mule deer up in the yard every morning

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Actually now in Ignacio just south of Durango. There are a couple of good breweries in town. Those damned hairy locusts are all over the place eating the landscaping and getting in the way of cars and such!
Cheers!

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

AP will see his carries go up as the game goes on. He could be used as a decoy and then feed him a little while the defense gets tired. Then Bam! Feed him the rock nonstop. It can play out that way if the score doesn't get out of hand.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

I hope you do.....

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Wonder if Payton will give him the rock on the first offensive play.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Adrian will have his opportunities.

Side note - Vikings were ranked #3 in total defense last season. They were +11 in turnovers (Saints were -3). We must force turnovers to have any shot at being successful this season.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Hope we stick it to them worst than their playoff loss when we won the SB nothing against Brett F but it's going to be nice to screw them again I hope AP has at least one score. Haters never really win. Sam is going to take a bruising.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

locker room stickems for a defense like the viking might not be the smartest thing to do

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Let them focus on Peterson and Brees will light them up like the sky on the 4th of July.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Not if fan of this talk from Peterson. Slightly out of contex? Probably. But why give them bulletin board material?

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

I think a lot of people are really underestimating the challenge the Vikings are going to be.

It's definitely not going to be a cake-walk facing that defense, which might have actually improved since last season.

Their offense will be better as well with Cook running the ball and actually an OC running the show, who'll play to the strenghts of the players.

I hope the Saints are going to win, but it's not going to be a blow-out.

Well, we're in the minority about our chances on Monday night because the rest of the football world likes the Vikes...

Kenny Vaccaro better not get on back on the plane if he lets Sam Bradford embarrass him the way he did Roman Harper...

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

AP and Mark Ingram will be like Bread and Butter, Milk and Cookies, Thunder and Lightning, Catholics and Wine......well you get the message. They will open up the passing game for sure. Like that needs to be anymore open than it already is!

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Well the Vikes have arguably the best 4-3 NT against the run in Linval Joseph and very fast LBs in Kendricks and Barr, so it's probably going to be hard to get to the second level with the runs.

And if Ingram and/or Peterson can get past the LBs - the secondary headed by Harrison Smith is no slouch open-field tackling.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

If we're getting past the linebackers in the running game, then it doesn't really matter who's in the secondary. We've already accomplished what we need, if we're getting to that level.

If we take care of the ball and control time of possession, 20 points should win this game. Sam Bradford just doesn't get the ball down the field and that offensive line is sketchy, at best. If the Saints defense has improved as much as we think it has, then it will be an especially long day for Bradford.

I think the Saints will score more than 20, though. I think we can get at least around 27 or 28, despite the Vikings solid defense, because I have a feeling the Vikes D will be on the field for a large portion of the game. If we are somehow consistently running the ball 5 plus yards, then I think it could be a blowout. But I anticipate that this will be a game we lead much of the way, and put away in the 4th quarter by 10 to 14 points.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

While I know the following stats are preseason stats, the Viqueens allowed an average of 22.75 points per game, the Saints 10.25 points per game, not factoring in actual points given up by the defense. If we did the latter, our stats would be even better. If we were to juxtapose the very same preseason stats from the last few years, we would see a difference. It would appear we are remarkably improved on defense, any way you slice it. It'll be fun to see just how much in the next few games. :bng:

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Adrian Peterson. He went to Oklahoma. Baker Mayfield. He's at Oklahoma. Saints take Baker Mayfield with the 32nd pick in the NFL Draft next year.

Or we take Lamar Jackson in the 2nd or 3rd after everybody doubts his ability to play QB at the next level.

AP goes for 150 first game and 3 TDs.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Yeah. Especially if we are 4 scores up already.

Where is Ironhead when you neeed him?

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

True, but you'd have to take into consideration the opponents they played against, who those opponents fielded out of the roster, what were the goals they tried to achieve in the games, etc. - and then look at the same variables from the Vikes' and Saints' point of view.

Having watched those games fairly closely, the Vikes held out many starters from all of the preseason games or gave them just a handful of snaps.

I'm not saying they are world-beaters - just trying to keep a cool head.

Gunslinger, ability to rally the troops (see OSU game last night). I see a lot of Derek Carr in him. Baker could possibly become the 1st QB taken. If he keeps playing at a high level, highly unlikely he drops out of the top 10.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

I think they'll keep the kids from USC and Wyoming ahead of him because of his size, but I like him too. He's got swag.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

We all want what AP wants this evening...........

Heyward died on May 27, 2006, at the age of 39. :(

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Tell ya one thing... Packers fans here are excited to finally be able to root for AP lol.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

While I wish AP the best, who I really want to see stick it to the Vikings, is Kamara. The young man touched the ball like 4 times in preseason, and each time it was electrifying.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Thinking the same about the decoy. Piss them off to shut him down and Drew carves them up, then you feed him

Good call bro

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Just watched his interview on NFL network, unless he gets more action I have a feeling it's gonna be a drama filled long, long season. Something we can not afford. Game one and the medias blowing it up.....I hope there's nothing to it but I have a bad feeling

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Maybe he should. Sometimes a little finger pointing helps people pull their head out of their ass. There is alot of finger pointing that can be done after this pitiful showing, alot.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

Well you didn't.

Re: Adrian Peterson: I want to stick it to the*Vikings
 

AP's other problem was that SP is color blind he can't tell purple from gold.
SP forgot he signed him from the Vikes and couldn't figure why AP was standing
on his side of the field...........
