bakedtater1 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I thought we could use this thread to A.Make a huge case to bring back Adrian Peterson. B.Talk about the run game,possible free agents,and what quice and love can bring. Two points right out the gate..Ron wants to win now. And, we're all seeing how teams are winning in the playoffs right now. The 49ers with defense and the Titans running the ball down the defenders throats. And the there defense ain't bad. Must Bring Back Adrian Peterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaytoAli Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Don’t see why not. He stays healthy, solid runner, no need to draft high at the position. Run him till he’s done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silvernon Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I agree. Stick with Peterson and have Guice and Love prove they need bigger roles. They can trade him at the deadline if the others emerge and an injury produces an opportunity elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koolblue13 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Agreed. CT is the only question mark about retaining I'd say. We can't count on any of our backs playing a full season, except the 47 year old AP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyst Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 So glad to see teams like the Ravens and Niners having success running the ball. Hopefully NFL slowly shifts that way again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88Comrade2000 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 He’s coming back, he’s got one more year. We do need to either draft a rb in the lower rounds or sign one in free agency. You can’t rely on Guice to stay healthy and you just don’t know if Father Time catches up to AP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evmiii Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 If Love is 100%, Thompson becomes expendable. If not I think Thompson probably sticks (if we pick up a free agent I think he will be the casualty). He has looked very good in flashes, but can't stay on field. Guice and Love coming with their own injury issues, a third injury prone RB doesn't sound feasible. AP has been the only reliable RB recently, he will be back.

rumplestilskin Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Kareem Hunt or Derrick Henry would be awsome FA . Doubt Henry is headed anywhere cuz hes winning the playoffs by himself but either would be solid upgrades. CT has to go cuz he just isnt durable.

Jericho Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Not sure why Peterson wouldn't be back. He's under contract, so the team would either have to cut him or trade him for him to not be here. And neither seems probable. The other question is how much Peterson has left in the tank. When the end comes, it tends to come fast and sudden rather than slow and gradual. But that's a risk the team will likely live with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Sure, if Ron thinks he'd fit in with his program. I have no problem either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method man Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I don't see AP going anywhere. He is totally Ron's type of guy. Ron will need leaders in the locker room to set a tone, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Leadership on that side of the ball is a question given Haskins is unproven there and the best player Scherff is a quiet guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tibbidoe Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 I want Chuba Hubbard from the draft. Guice, Love and Hubbard, with Peterson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander -JB- Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Need Guice/Love to be healthy to form a dynamic RB duo. Peterson will stick around as long as there are question marks with those two guys. Can’t see Peterson getting a lot of carries if they are healthy. With that being said, expect to see Peterson get a lot of carries lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsmania123 Posted January 12, 2020 Share Posted January 12, 2020 Watching Henry last night - what a beast. We need a resilient back. My concern is the fragility of our RB's with the exception of Peterson. You go with him until you can't any longer. Guice runs hard, and I love the kid but he tends to be more like a Faberge Egg, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Love Adrian Peterson, legend, great back. But I want whatever Rivera wants. I'd presume he's the type that would love Peterson -- great back but also a great example -- leader with a great work ethic. Will see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with all positions, Rivera and the OC/DC need to want to work with the guy. So... if it's not Peterson, it's not Peterson. Though I think Guice is the more intriguing possibility of a guy he may not want due to his injury history but will likely roll with because of his upside.

Did you also notice that Henry and multiple of KCs players dont lean in for added and unnecessary contact? That they will go out of bounds after a long gain instead of leaning back in for 3 more yards of rough impact? I remembered that after reading your post for some reason and I want to make sure im not making it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearrock Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I was actually hoping Henry would be the odd man out with Tennessee's cap situation, but it's hard to imagine them letting Henry go at this point. Too bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurf3 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I wish AP would buy the 'Skins and be the only player/owner in pro sports history. Bringing him back is a "no brainer". Question is how much does he want to come back and for how much? The fact that he remains their most reliable option speaks for itself and the fact that he even plays for the "Skins is a result of desperation and typical poor draft choices and other player acquisition by you know who.

Do you believe Guice leans in for unnecessary contact? I think he does. But don't you think that works for some players and not others? For example AP seems to seek contact and extra yardage, and it works for him. He has provided some tutelage for Guice, but what works for one RB does not work for another.

Spaceman Spiff Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Bryce and Guice could be a great tandem, problem is that the chances of either one of them making it through a full season is low. Both? Practically no chance. AP is durable. And he might not have breakaway speed anymore but at least he can get to the field. I'll take a beat up pickup truck with 200k miles on it if I know it's reliable rather than a Ferrari that's more fun to drive but needs to go to the shop a few times a year.

Riggo-toni Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Okay, let's bring him back...but can we at least inactivate him for the first game so we can see what Smallwood can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
