MANKATO â€”As many of the Vikings worked on special teams assignments early in Saturday's practice, running back Adrian Peterson and his position coach, Eric Bieniemy, made their way to a vacant portion of Field 1 on the Minnesota State Mankato campus.

Some of his fumbles last year were from getting hit/stripped from behind.
I think some of that might have been addressed this year in Sully/PL.

Just like they were addressed last year too. He has lead the league the last two years. It doesn't matter how they happened. They need to stop.

A lot of good that did T-Will.

Being able to catch balls in practice doesn't = being able to catch balls on gameday.

Exactly. Get a grip on that ball & maintain it. Stripped balls is one thing, but when you cough up the ball after bumping into one of your own lineman [McKinney] that is unacceptable.

I don't know if Vikes_King or Captain J addressed it, but according to BLV, AD dropped an easy catch in practice (didn't sound like it was his 1st drop). Childress just patted AD on, but then another other coach, I assume Biemeny, took AD aside & chewed him out.

IMO, this is a big concern for our team & one that I hope AD can overcome. We all know that AD is a great runner, but we need him to be more than one-dimensional.

Yea, AD has dropped a couple passes.
He dropped another really easy short pass yesterday - granted he had a sweet catch for a TD in redzone drills later.
Bieniemy is riding his ass at all times
