| Adrian Peterson |
Foreman was dead established against it, as well as with Peterson now saying he's "80 for each cent", I'd be happy to notice him sit out there against the Lions this particular Sunday as well. This is because obvious enough. Why come back when you're not 100 per cent (or even close to it), your current team is 2-10 and you're playing a group that's perceived as filthy?
Another week for the sidelines won't damage the Vikings or Billings. It also gives the group some more time to observe what Toby Gerhart is like because the featured back. (For your record, when Gerhart gets some daylight, I enjoy watching him boll on the defender or three. He punishes defenders.)
I grimace when I hear Peterson speak like he do yesterday in this ESPN 1500 post by Tom Pelissero. But with Pelissero and his colleague Judd Zulgad wondering of late precisely why the Vikings would enjoy Peterson again in a lost season, they must understand there is a lot more at play right here than the common excellent.
As Peterson highlights in Pelissero's piece, he or she wants to rush pertaining to 1,000 meters again and he can not do that on the sidelines in street outfits. There are also monetary explanations why Peterson would want to reunite in the lineup. He probably gets additional bonuses for reaching single,000 yards and also earning a Pro Serving berth.
My guess is we will see Peterson fitting up on Sunday. I hope Christian Ponder is feeling up to it too.
