I agree, Cook will get starting attempts and by tradition Vikings will run the ball even when it is not working. Brees will get 40+ passes. Just looking at a past legend and the new guy with the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vikingsrule Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I can't see Peterson settling into his new role easily. I wouldn't be surprised if he's traded in the coming weeks. It seems like his touches were forced when they should really run the offense through Brees and the versatility of Kamara, such a bad fit. Cook looks perfect for this offense but he's got to catch the damn ball. Fantastic rusher, seemed to get better and more comfortable as the game went on.

SteelKing728 Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 haha. I'll still root for him a little I guess but it was nice to see us beat his team and for Cook to get the record! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SemperFeist Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 I'd love to see Peterson run for 100 yards per game the rest of the year. But what happened tonight was exactly what i wanted to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SemperFeist Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 After week 1 there are 3 rookies in the top 5 rushing leaders. The winds of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were very nice, my only gripe is the couple of drops he had. Other than that he was as advertised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterson did seem to slow the game down, everyone knows he is going to get the ball and everyone just floods the box. We have seeing this for years. I don't see Adrian there very long.

vike daddy Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 for those of you who didn't watch the NO game and hear the commentary, one announcer told how he talked to Spielman that day about Cook and how Spiel went to bed the night after the draft's first round (or tried to), not believing Cook didn't go in the first round. so he spoke with Cook the next morning for an hour and decided to move up and draft him.

Correct. (this is actually old news, maybe even from draft day) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
