Tackle Adrian Peterson

Filed under: Uncategorized — Administrator @ 12:35 am

The 7-1 Green Bay Packers face the 3-5 Minnesota Vikings this Sunday at Lambeau field. The winning formula is simple, tackle Adrian Peterson. He is really the only weapon the Vikes have on offense. Last week he ripped the Chargers defense for a NFL record 296 yards. Green Bay had better put in some defensive plans to key on him or he could go for another record day. What worries me is the left side of the Vikes offensive line, Bryant McKinnie and Steve Hutchinson are both huge powerful run blockers. When Kabeer lines up against McKinnie he is giving up about a hundred pounds. In previous years I have seen him been thrown around like a rag doll trying to defend the run against them. I would make sure that doesnt happen this Sunday. Cullen Jenkins is a much better defender against the run but can he hold up? The Packers might even consider a 5 man line since they know the run is coming. You still have to be careful if Peterson bursts through the line that he doesnt go all the way. I would have AJ Hawk shadow him all day. If they tackle Adrian Peterson, the Packers will be 8-1.
