makes a big difference who qb and who linemen are. how did he run out of shotgun when Favre was there
A few things that makes me think AP would be a good fit.
McCarthy is said to be predictable in his play calling. That even with a qb like Rodgers, teams just seem to be able to tell? Well Peterson is used to running against defenses that also know the run is coming... it doesn't matter with #28.
Play action.... we rarely get the defenses to buy our play action. We need a couple big runs before any team even takes notice it seems. With #28, I think the play action works EVERY time. And that opens up a whole new dimension to the passing game.... what would happen if teams had to respect our run?
3rd. AP may need to be a better pass blocker. But what's just as good as a great block, is a dump off pass that is always there. Favre was the master of the pump fake and dump off pass to the rb, or te.
When that rb gains 10 yds every time you get a pass rush... now a defense has to stop that... respecting the rb will stop the pass rush as much or more than a average rb that is a good pass blocker imo... because respecting the rb opens up the whole field...
Now if AP is available at 1.2mil? This is a realistic possibility. He's a bargain shopper, he shops at Big Lots and the Dollar Tree while AP is hanging out at Saks 5th Avenue and Bloomingdales. Teds middle name is Frugal.
