Patience paying off for Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian P...

This text is replaced by the Flash movie. Adrian Peterson, one of the NFL's fastest running backs, actually tried to slow himself down this season.

adrian the vikings years ago would go into a village and plunder and burn the village then they would go home and rejoice over the victory it is time that we would go to the villages of our opponents and show the viking way of fear of the purple it will be time to eat our walleyed pike and lefsa later can we all get a big thanks you for guiding the purple brother adrian

Last thing he needs to do is listen to chili. He is now seeing his yards go down because of being "patient." Speed it up Adrian!

[tHe cLowN pRinCe]

mr jensen, are you seriously making the implication that AD is doing better this year???

if klink would have started him from the get-go, he would have had 2000 yards.

One thing that would be nice is a solid fullback

[markymark]

Yeah, a solid fullback like what we had in Richardson, who we got from Kansas City, would help AD and this running game a lot right now. AD's patience running the ball is the least of the Vikings and Chilli's worries. Adrian is the only thing that is right with this team so far. They need to concentrate on converting third downs, avoiding turnovers and stupid penalties, and improving special teams play...Go Vikes!!!

trade for jeff garcia and we win the superbowl.

Watching MeMo tonight, he went through the hole before I could blink. AD is not the problem. The scheme is the problem. Just get a new coach and watch this team blossom. The more I watch other head and offensive coaches, the more I realize what is missing in Minnesota.

replace chilli with the brewster, problem solved.

A.D., do the damn thing and run for the end zone. It's not your fault if the offensive line don't open the holes quick enough for your speed. Be careful, your knees are your money, so don't burst through thinking that there's nothing there to slow you down. Exceed the yardage you earned last season.

I can't wait to see who's first.. I live for that.
