So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

So AP. Under whelming so far to be sure.

Disclaimers (in advance) : Not enough carries. Used in obvious running situations. Virtually no preseason time to get in rhythm. Not given space (DL/LB on him on as he gets the ball), what else, poor run support by the O-line (kind of the same thing as the last excuse/reason, right?)

Observations: He seems as strong as ever. He is fiery, and he wants to contribute. That being said he doesn't seem to have that 5th gear, that speed burst that made him the monster that he was. OK, you can say our O-line isn't doing our running game any favors, and maybe not....but Ingram and Kamara seem to be able to find running lanes... yet AP has not.

I'm reminded of a joke a Cowboy friend of mine had of a running back (I forget which, it was years ago) but if we need 3 yards we can count on our RB. If we need 4 yards we can count on our RB for 3 yds. That's what I feel about AP. I hope I am wrong.
Anyone have any other thoughts?

complete waste
like having a second d*** but only one girlfriend

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

Bahahaha!

Perfect analogy!

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

I don't know, depending on your girlfriend there's a way to utilize the extra appendage. ��

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

Wow, OK. So all of your observations are worthy of press releases. I'm sorry my post wasn't....what?

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

True he may not have the explosion he once did, but the ability is still there. I thought last week he looked like he was finally beginning to find himself within this offense. There's also something to be said for the coaches needing to learn and understand how to utilize this 3 headed monster we've got at RB, and it seemed like maybe they're starting to get that figured out too. Still a whole lotta season left to play and I think his role will start to expand a bit. And if history repeats itself there may be some games where we're gonna need him to step in and be the starter. Don't give up on the old guy yet, there's still some gas left.

So sorry! Welcome to the ADD poster child of the Saints... SQUIRREL!!!

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

Hasnt been really given a chance to succeed.1 carry here one carry there isnt the way to use the guy. Sean doesnt run the ball often enough for any back to succeed to be honest. His style of runninf is done with screen passes.

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

We could have a third d*** too. Do we more girl friends with more nipples?
Ok... you know some of you want to see this.

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

Never thought we needed him, So if he has to go, then go.

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

Agree.

We have seen the exact same thing with Ingram. A carry here, a carry there, he was crap. When we actually stuck to the run and using Ingram as the main runner, low and behold, he was good. This is the same thing with AP. Has he lost a bit of pep, of course, we all get older and his past injuries have taken a toll. But I am willing to bet, if Ingram gets hurt, AP will start to shine with getting more carries than, here and there.

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

I still think his time will come. Football is a lot about finding your rhythm and he hasn't really gotten there yet.

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

I'm in the minority; but I think AP is needed... As we get later in the season, his carries will steadily increase and god forbid if Ingram catches a injury or something...

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

He looked kinda slow but still very strong. Once the oline settles in, I think they'll get more use outta him. He can still take on linebackers and flatten Dbacks so if he gets the blocking up front, he should be valuable.

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

it's all about angles

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

?????

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

I think John Madden said it about a back called Walt Garrison.Not sure though.

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

He is better than Hightower as a rotational back I believe. He will find his groove and Ingram will probably miss some time with an injury. We have got to stop forcing the ball to any RB except Ingram. Feed him the ball and we can win games.

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

All of this elephant in the room, d***s and angles stuff... What are you people are talking about? :help:

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

What you should worry about is if you're in a room with an elephant and his d*** is at an angle, then you have problems!😮

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

I'm safe because I only hang out with the females. :bart:

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

I think he was a little flabbergasted at the speed at which we are able to go off topic.

That's actually our super power you know.

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

Barring an injury to Ingram or Kamara will AP finish the season with the Saints?

I feel like the Saints will attempt to trade him for some defensive line help if the opportunity arises, with a team like the Giants.

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

which is all well and good until he PM'd me, starting it off with "FU2"

have they widened the goalposts?
so hard to keep up with the new rules

Perhaps a sense of humor transplant should be a prerequisite to joining here. I know it makes my stay here very enjoyable.

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

You had a sense of humor transplant? Did B&G pay for that?

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

I gave it time to marinate so if anybody missed it I meant anal. I repeat, I meant she might be down for the DP. If you try it at home on your significant other and she kicks you out of the house I'm not responsible.

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

These look like some very old rules but they look widen to me.

No, our soon to be disappearing health care coverage for a pre-existing condition did.

On (in) the other hand, I am looking into having B&G pay for my d**k transplant. All of the talk on this thread has me thinking seriously about getting another one. Just wish my name was Vic so I could become Double D**k Vic. Has a real ring to it...

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

Oh yeah Forever, thanks for yet another thread save. Don't know what we'd do without you!

Re: So, the elephant in the room: Peterson
 

Yea... I'd use the other stall. ;)
