[size=13pt]Vikings' Peterson will be even better[/size]

Last year's rookie sensation hasn't rested on his laurels. The star running back and his position coach have been hard at work refining his skills.

Thanks for the read my friend.

I've said it alot on here, but it is worth highlighting again.

Backs have been beating 8 man fronts for years when teams didn't have a passing game. It isn't like they just invented it halfway through the season last year.
Truth of the matter is that by teaching him to recognize what the defense is doing it will help him in the long run when it comes to running against them.

I really am looking forward to watching this kid run this year.
He is gonna out do AD of last year by a significant mark.

With everyone getting another year under their belt (AD/TJ/Rice/Allison/Wade/Ferguson), and the addition of BB, this offense should continue to improve as the season progresses.

I am looking forward to Week 1, but more importantly, each and every following week as we continue to improve.
By the time the post season rolls along, hopefully we will be clicking, and still have some things the opposing D's have not yet seen

I really liked what I saw from the 1st team offense when it came to passing.
I think that will really go far to help opening up big holes for AD and Chester to run through.
If they can come out and do that in regular season, against starters who actually care, that will be fantastic.
If the passing game clicks, I can expect to see Peterson top 15000 yards.
Hopefully he can get the 2,000 yard mark, but I doubt that will happen as long as Taylor is around.
