AP sits out practice: cause for concern?

[hermes]

"It's a concern," coach Brad Childress said. "Your legs are your legs. We'll just see how he comes out by the time we get to Sunday."

Peterson did not specify which leg was injured, only saying that it was "pretty sore" and had him worried when it tightened up while he was pushing the pile in the fourth quarter.

"This is how we get our work done. Our legs," Peterson said. "That's the most important part of our body, so it was pretty scary."

your legs are your legs, childress

i probably should add, since i didn't quote the article very well, that its a slight hamstring injury

Not too much of a concern. it is tight, not pulled. Big difference.

We need to do what worked the best last year. Run Taylor as the primary in the 1st half. 15 carries or so and 8-10 for Peterson, and then when the def is tired let Peterson get the 15 in the second half. Look at the stats from his big games last year, Taylor had big games as well and set the tone wearing out the defense in the first half. We need to do this again. No need to give AD so many carries early on.

The WR injury and Hicks concern me more than AD injury. Having our 2 speed WR's with food injuries is never good. If hicks cant go do we have anyone at LT? Perhaps TJax can play WR?

ya wr is a problem, finally going to open up the offense and no one to go to
