RB Andrian Peterson ... should we?

Game has changed. A RB has to be a WR these days, almost equally. He was never that guy. Even if he was 10 years younger he'd be getting stuffed more often than not. We shut him down in 09. Not that hard to do anymore.

It will come full circle. Always does. Defenses are being built smaller for speed to stop these quick passes to running backs which has become so popular lately. In 2-3 years someone will bring in a big mauler type back and these defenders will bounce right off him. Then it will catch on and everyone will follow suit. Eventually defenses will have to evolve.
