turtle28 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I just heard on the radio that there is no guaranteed money in Peterson’s contract unless he makes the team. Redskins also signed De’Veon Smith, former Michigan starting running back in 2015 & 2016. I liked him in college but he’s nothing special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I'm going to go out on a limb and guess Perine's injury is worse than we know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavar703 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 AP is a freak of nature so I wouldn’t be shocked to see him have a good year. I like the signing because it means Rob Kelley not potentially starting. They’ve seen the film and they know what they lost going from Guice to Kelley. Peterson will do fine here.

This is the key for me. I really don’t see much downside — if he shows he still has enough of that AD magic to be our best option this season, then he starts and he gets the lion’s share of the carries. If he doesn’t, then he gets cut and we’re on the hook for nothing. It’s not like we have anybody we’re worried about him “blocking” or stealing carries from. And if he can’t beat out Perine and Kelley, so be it. Cut him. But for now, at least it’s clearly a little burst of positive energy for the guys on the team (see Swearinger and Silverback already) and it sends the message that the FO is serious about making the team better and competing. That can’t hurt, even if eventually it turns out to be nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it’s Byron Marshall’s injury that could be worse. JP Finlay just said on the Team980 that Adam Schefter said Marshall’s injury could land him on IR and when Gruden was asked, he wouldn’t deny it.

For those who don’t know his family named him “All Day” when he was younger because he would run all day long. So, his nickname is AD, NOT AP.

lavar703 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 I’m calling him by his initials because I don’t feel like typing the whole thing out. He’s a grown *** man. Enough with the nicknames that have nothing to do with your actual initials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtle28 Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Let’s not forget that AD was cut from Minnesota after the 2016 season because of his neck injury and the size of his contract. If he hadn’t hurt his neck in 2016, Minny would’ve kept him last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His name is Adrian Peterson. So I'll call him AP. If he balls out this year for us and proves the "All Day" moniker? THEN I'll switch to AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
