Adrian Peterson's biggest flaw
Adrian Peterson's remarkable talent gives him the ability to break off long runs at any time. But it appeared he looked for the big play too often late last season, instead of taking small, safe gains. Peterson can use training camp to work on being more patient and letting plays develop in front of him. Teams loaded up to stop the Vikings' run last season, and now Peterson must make adjustments of his own.

With virtually no passing game last year, the jig was up.

The funny part of the whole article is the bit on Visanthe Shiancoe ...Anybody who saw him flounder with the Giants knew what he was...Still cannot believe they signed him to that contract....

In the military it's called "shift fire"....7 lineman on the line will help defense him. Maybe.

Whatever.. he is a stud and only over running that may bring injuries will dictate his career..Vikes win superbowl??? No. They will get better but it will take time and a solid QB with a few adjustments in D to expect that. Might look at the division as a hopeful shot this year.

This just in: using team nicknames to make fun of teams shows that you are a homer, and that you have second-grade intellect. Obviously this story is a bunch of crap, since he averaged like over 6 ypc last year. This is like telling Adam Dunn he needs to hit more singles and less home runs. It's stupid.

also Peterson's most obvious and biggest flaw is his susceptibility to injury, NOT the fact he uhhhh breaks really long runs and is a threat to score every time he touches the ball and averages 6 yards per carry.
