Porous Broncos defense might spell relief for Vikings rookie, whose fast start has cooled

For Adrian Peterson, running room and yards have been hard to come by in the past three games, but the Vikings' star rookie still has a chance to close the season with a rush.....

I doubt it.
Coach will have him on sidelines 'saving' him for something.
I put the over/under at 11 carries.

The Bronco's D isn't anywere as good as the last two we faced, however, when we looked at the Boars going into that one we thought the same thing.

Funny how a D can put two games together like they did against us and then the hated PUKERS.

I look for the team to try to get AD some yards.
Cant read the article, but does it give how much he needs?
Think the talking heads said something like 113 or so behind LT.

LOL.
Shit.
I'll take that over.
The Vikes still have an outside chance at the playoffs, and since the Dallas-Washington game is at the same time as the Denver-Minnesota game, they won't know whether a win gets them in or not.
But they know that a loss ends their season.

AP gets no less than 25 touches.

No way he gets that many touches again

No way T-jack passes for 41 times again

That's exactly right Mar, 113 yards. He also trails Willy Parker by 11.

I wanna see Peterson get as many touches as he can handle.
Use Jackson on roll-outs with the option to run on some plays.
An option play.
Peterson throwing. Use K.Will on offense. A fake punt or field goal . Keep everybody as fresh as they can with subs, and just have fun breaking .500 this
season.

All I've heard since San Fran is how we're facing a bad run defense and AD should run wild. Unless we can get some semblance of a passing game early on, they'll just put 8 or 9 in the box and challenge us to do something in the air. If that happens, our coaches have make adjustments a little earlier than they did against the Skins.

Lets hope he can manage atleast 11 yards
