He is behind Chris Johnson still.
Unless Johnson gets hurt, I think he will be the rushing leader this season.
You gotta love this guy.
I love AD more, but CJ is fun to watch too.

Benson fell off the way to the top.

AD needs a few more big games like today's 133 yds, with a couple long runs mixed in.

Yards from Scrimmage use to be a cool stat.
Not so much any more apparently, can't find it on NFL.com for all the RBs.
I could go through and add it up myself, too tired tonight.

Did you watch "Football Night In America" last night?
Harrison actually said that he thought CJ was a better back that AD.
Dungy didn't agree, but it was an interesting take.

Chris Johnson is having a hell of a year.
If he stays healthy, especially with Vince at QB, I don't see AD catching him.

He's a good case study on why NFL executives and coaches fall in love with speed at the combine.

I remember when Johnson was drafted and he was all the rage for a week or so on NFL Radio. It's easy to see why now, but I still don't think he's better than Peterson. Besides, I'd disagree with Harrison if he told me the sky was blue, just on principle.

I would take Peterson over Johnson any day.
The one thing I did like from Harrison last night was when he called Belichek an idiot last night for not punting the ball.
Also enjoyed it when Dungy called Belichek an idiot for not punting the ball...also will enjoy it when everyone else for the next week calls Belichek an idiot for not punting the ball.
Hopefully it starts a downward slide for the mighty Pats.

I'm sure that Belicheat just wanted to get that on tape, you know, the play he'd use on 4th and short with the game on the line.
