Reminds me of all the old Baltimore Colts Games, we never had a 1pm game at home.

Its good to have goals that are unattainable, Eh Say. Keeps you working to get better.

Better tell them boys to work real hard to get a whole lot better... gonna be a long day for them Vikings in their own dome...

Yea, I hear the over/under is 200 yards for Peterson. Hope none of your defensive players get hurt trying to tackle him......

LOL now thats funny SA..... considering AD got hurt diving into the end zone in college with nobody even touching him.... I hate to think of what might happen to him when BAD Bob Sanders lays the smack down on him.

It will be interesting that's for sure. Bob Sanders is a bad little shit that's for sure.

BTW...

AD is one of the FEW rb's that have come around recently that I really truly just watching run..... He reminds as a cross of Eric Dickerson and Faulk.... Just a pure joy to watch run... Faulk is the last guy I just loved to just sit back and watch him make guys look dumb out there until AD came along.

I wrote this on November 27th 2007 to explain what I saw in Peterson:

Thanks Shock

He's the only reason I stay excited about watching the Viking games this year. Better to watch than Randy Moss because he gets soooo many more touches as a RB.

I've been watching football since the late fifties. YA Tittle, Big Daddy Lipmsomb, Lou Grousa. He'll it's so long ago I don't even know how to spell their names anymore.

I watched all the great running backs from Brown, to OJ, to Gale Sayers (who was my favorite until now, too bad he got hurt young) Dickerson, Payton, Sanders and on and on. I've tried to compare him to the great running backs of the past and I've come to the conclusion he has some qualities from several backs.

* The power of Brown (Brown's once ran for 6.4 yards a carry and Peterson is currently at 6.6)
* Runs angry like Payton and Campbell (needs to slow down on that later or he will have a short carrier)
* Has the open field speed of Bo Jackson (Although he only runs a 4.38 my guess is that he is so strong he still runs 4.38 in pads when everyone else is taking a .1 haircut)
* Is starting to remind me of Tomlinson the way he is now waiting for the holes to open and then motoring through.
* Also has that subtle body move that freezes DB's. I guess like Payton but not as pronounced as Sanders. (That's the shiftyest little sucker I've ever seen)
* Has a spin move like my old favorite Chuck Foreman and hurdles players like no one I've ever seen before.
* Probably has the best size, speed ratio I've ever seen. Once he's in the open field it's over and that amazing for a man his size.

I was in the stands in Chicago when he ran for 224 and watched every minute of the 296 effort. I feel like I'm watching history in the making every play.

Watch inside the nfl tonight and you will see what I mean toothy

Looks like there will be at least two of us taking the Vikings and 6.5 points. I love taking the home team and the points at home openers. It will be like taking candy from a baby

Thsi is from a Kevin Hench column:

But when I say "football" I mean Adrian Peterson making guys look stupid, a heat-seeking Bob Sanders flying to the ball and teams still kicking to Devin Hester. Not Roger Goodell reading names at a podium.


Looks like we're going to see if Adrian can escape the stinger missile week two

Can't wait
