Maybe he goes out and get injured on his first play. No one knows. If the docs and the medical staff say that he is ready to hammer away and and get hammered then you go with that.

The Packers had 395 rushing attempts last year with Flynn, Kuhn and Rodgers having 103. The most Benson’s ever carried is 321. I hope they do change their entire offensive philosophy to suit Cedric Benson” said Ben

Yeah…..this goes back to what I have been saying for years. The Vikes blew it big time when they didn’t trade AP. Now they are stuck with damaged goods. One thing that will be interesting to see this year is by how many yards CedBen outgains AllDay. Think about it. CedBen is a workhorse and is going to get carries all year long. AllDay will be limited for a while, and then won’t be as effective due to the bum knee.

CedBen–1350 yards
AllDay–785 yards

Book it.

CedBen huh, thats your name for him? Did you guys decide that over a beer? Its real cute, keep it up.

I guess you forgot that the packers are a pass first offense and for good reason. No way your “CedBen” gets more yards than All Day .

Hold him out, don’t hold him out. Who cares? It’s not going to change the fact that your team is terrible and you’ve wasted peterson’s career.

Its also not going to change the fact that the Packers D is horrible and will cause the team to fail tremendously this season.

No sense in taking the Ferarri out for a spin while it’s raining outside.

Well, the team isn’t set for the Super Bowl, but I’m looking forward to watching Percy Harvin, Kyle Rudolph, Kallil, Simpson, Kevin Williams, Winfield and Greenway too — not to mention Ragnar and the fat cheeser chicks in polyester holding a beer and 2 food items when they waddle in to the Vike’s-Pack game.

Once the regular season starts, I don’t see Peterson getting more than 10 carries for the first three or four games.

I’m sure that will go great.

Right now all Viking fans have to cheer about is AP and Jared Allen.

You’d like to be able to knock the rust off a bit, but hate to have another injury in pre season.

Either way they should limit his carries big time. These injuries take time to heal and one wrong move and he’s done.

Shut him down for the first half of the season so he can fully recover and then give him 8 weeks to get back in game mode for next season.
