First off, I would demand that we work on switching the placement of the ball.. he is a runner that leaves it his right arm no matter what.. one of the first things a player is taught is to keep the ball away from contact. With him being such a violent runner.. it is probably even more important for his ball security.

Second, I think I would take a fundamental look at how he carries it.. as mentioned above.. he exposes a little too much of his cradle while carrying the rock. As a opposing defender, that is the first thing I would focus on beyond his hips.

Third, and probably a little over looked is the sleeve that he wears.. more of a rubber texture to it.. as the game progresses and sweat is expelled, I think there is an opportunity for that sleeve to become slick..

I would not over tinker with his running style.. he is the most physical back to come into the league in a long while.. makes him the player he is..

But as in almost any player.. there are some things that could be improved upon.. his is his hands and ball security.

This sounds so much like Ahman Green's problems.

I'd bench him only because of the player who's behind him. To make a point. Fumble it, you sit a few series or the rest of the half.

A LOT of good recommendations. And Marstc is right, even though I want to disagree..

The thing about changing the way he holds the ball may change other aspects of his game. That's what I'm afraid off. But, on the other hand, he hasn't has a 100 yard game in awhile now.. So maybe he needs to change the way he runs the ball right now.

I'd like to see him carry it high and tight. But, he tends to fumble it more when he's fighting tacklers off. I'd rather see him use both arms to cover up the ball and just bowl into people than see him try to fight off defenders with his free arm.

I dunno.. I'm just hoping that it's just a streak he's on, and when it comes to playoff time, he'll be fine and secure with the ball.

I wouldn't change how he's holding the ball unless you do it during the off season and make him walk with the ball, everywhere in that position with others randomly trying to knock it out. This would help make him more comfortable holding the ball in the new position.

I'd take Peterson over any Packer RB, with or without the fumbles. A guy like that makes your running game, OL and passing game better out of fear of his talent.

I tend to lean towards that. But it's still kind of worrisome.. Especially now we are in the home stretch and teams are going to exploit his 'fumblitis'.

LOL

How ironic would that be.

Everyone says it'll be Favre that'll throw a handful of picks to cash in another bigtime let down for the Vikings.. And it ends up being AP fumbling it away instead. LOL

I have no doubt in my mind the Vikings are going to choke this season off. NO pretty much solidified that for me last night. When their starting Dbacks come back they will be pretty deep in the secondary.

We've gone from calling Peterson, All Day to Garbage Time or Butterfingers. The guy sure has been getting stuck at the LOS a lot this year, and most of his electrifying stuff has been accomplished against inferior competition.

As for his fumbling, I looked up Walter Payton's career stats, and was amazed he had like 89 for his career. I don't recall Sweetness having a fumbling problem, but that is a high number.
