Vikings will conduct an "in-depth study"

[scpanther22]

Makes you glad we dont have to do any "in-depth studies" for Dwill

Coach Brad Childress indicated that the Vikings will conduct an "in-depth study" of Adrian Peterson's fumbling issues to see if any mechanical changes can help.

Peterson, whose hands are notoriously strong, has reached the point where it almost has to be a mental issue as much as a mechanical one. Perhaps the Vikes can pick the brain of Tiki Barber, who was able to overcome his own serious fumbling problem as a veteran with the Giants.

I see nothing in him that JStew couldn't do.

They need to do something for him, 20 fumbles in 3 season's is way too many for a RB.

Is it legit? Well, that sure looks like "All Day" and those sure look like Vikings fans behind him ready to go to a game. It appears that he's eating at "Duffy's", which is mere blocks from the Superdome on Canal St. (just down the block from the Ritz-Carlton, which you can see in the background. Click to enlarge.) The photo was supposedly taken around 2:30 p.m. local time, which matches the timestamp left in the photo's metadata by the camera ... just about three hours before kickoff. Feel free to debunk, but it definitely looks like A.P. covered his mitts in a nice thick coat of greasy fry batter right before the biggest game of his career. Curious.

They need to conduct an in-depth study? It's called wrapping the ball up and they teach it in pop warner, maybe he should go back and run some drills with the kids?

Not sure Coughlin's inclined to help.

He just downin' a Po Boy before gametime...ain't nothin wrong with dat

[pantherclaw]

pathetic. They call him the best RB in the NFL. He isn't even on my top 5 list.

Ball security is PARAMONT with a starting RB.

Tony Soprano got to him....thats what my cousin Vinnie said...

I can name several backs I'd take before him.

DWill, Jonathan Stewart, MJD, Gore, Ray Rice, Chris Johnson, Steven Jackson, Michael Turner, list goes on..

I'd rather have a back who consistently produces and holds onto the ball than one who will break out highlight reel runs consistently but cough the ball up 3 times in one playoff game.

My favorite comparison is Braylon Edwards. Sure, he makes big plays every now and then, but for every good play he gives you he fugs up about 5 more. Now this comparison isn't really fair because Peterson produces a lot more, but it's the same basic concept. In this game, I wouldn't take the good(excellent runner at times) with the bad(fumbles).

you're dumb as hell if you'd take jackson and turner over adrian peterson
