re: Peterson says he's never played on a team that they didn't stack the box against him.

We'll just have to wait and see what Peterson has left. I don't think they will work him too much, early.

I think the understood plan is to ease him into games later, after Ingram has had a chance to get going some. That way, you can close the game with Peterson in the 4th quarter.

In the playoffs, you might see full AP and the others rotate in and out.

But that's just a guess on my part.

its not the players, but playcalling.

run:pass
ingram: 50/50
Kamara: 25/75
Peterson: 75/25

defenses will adjust and its going to force Peterson to still fight loaded boxes and Kamara to deal with 7 in coverage. There needs to be some balance for all 3, sets where kamara goes to the slot with ingram/peterson in the backfield, etc. That's my biggest knock on this not working with Peterson.
