Give him 30 carries and be done with it. Might as well since the defense could not stop a Albertson's plastic bag.

Then, our defense completely collapsed. There is no way they had any chance of competing (not that they did, anyway) with the Vikings, at that point, by taking 7-8 minutes to methodically sludge their way down the field. I would love to be able to run the ball, and think it is very important, even in today's game. But if it's not there, it's not there. We needed to force the issue with some downfield throws, much earlier in the game when it was apparent we could neither run nor stop anybody, but instead we stayed predictable and conservative, with the short passing game, until it was too late. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

Re: Adrian Peterson - 'I Didn't Sign Up for 9 Snaps'
Think back to this statement by Sean Payton: "The only reason Mark Ingram wouldn't be rookie of the year is me"
