If you hadn't seen the video, watch it. Media has taken this out of context and making more out of it than it is.

IMO I don't think AP understands it or agrees with it, as much as he is taking the high road. Credit to him.

You can argue that Kamara is more versatile and that's why he was in the game so much late, but the fact is Kamara is not going to break tackles like AP can. One or two broken tackles can generate major yardage and instant offense. Payton is selling AP short.

That headline made it sound like he was *****in but the rest of what he said sounded like he understood why he only got 9 snaps.

Between Strief goin down, complete failure in the redone and having to play catch up the entire second half, the game didn't work toward Peterson's strengths. His time will come. And I hope he balls out.

We shouldn't have signed him if we weren't going to utilize him.

So the question is... Do we really need another over the hill workout warrior?

If you are suggesting I try out for the team forget about it. Rugby is my life now.
