This is 'best offense I've played in'
"I've been watching the offense the last
few games, and it's like, 'Man, they don't even need me,'" he said, per The Star

we'll beat them with the passing game."

"If he wants that and he

said in a phone interview with the Pioneer Press from his Los Angeles home.
"I think if he sets his goals and he
understands his circumstances and he knows what it takes, that he can be
successful. I'm not saying that he will break the record, I'm just saying it's a
possibility."
"He's a great football player," Brown said of Peterson. "He's always been a real
fine gentleman and a great worker. His running style and the effort he puts in
is unbelievable. I have the greatest respect for him. ... I like his attitude as
a runner. I like the fact that God gave him a body that's big enough and he's
fast enough."

Vikings RB Adrian Peterson: NFL rules designed to ‘baby’ quarterbacks
“You think about Drew Brees and the hit he took (against
the 49ers). I love Drew Brees. He’s one of my favorite guys to watch, but that
hit he took wasn’t a penalty,” Peterson said to FoxSports.com. “So they kind of
baby the quarterbacks, but the running back, we’re like every other player. We
get hit, and that’s what it is.”

jumping up and down and saying 'Way to go'," Dickerson told the St Paul Pioneer
Press.

Ray Lewis: Adrian Peterson will have to make Barry Sanders decision
“Me going out on that field tonight and me looking at
Adrian Peterson’s eyes, it’s something that I want to bring up that I don’t want
to see happen to this young kid. Because we saw it happen to a great one one
time before, which was Barry Sanders,” Lewis began.
“If he keeps going down this road, he’s going to have to
make a business decision just like Barry Sanders made a while ago. He plays the
game with so much passion and so much love, and he plays it so hard … and to do
him like that, to surround him with a team like that … I don’t like to see great
people go through things like that.
“I think they have to figure it all out organizationally to
figure out what is going on with the Minnesota Vikings.”

out-running the defense…

Adrian Peterson not worried about Minnesota Vikings’ 0-2 start
"Sitting at 0-2 now, the mindset is just to continue to
push. We know that we’re able to do what we want to do as an offense, and just
as a team, and we can do that if we be ourselves, so that’s really the mindset
right now. Continue to take it one week at a time and take away the things that
hurt us, you know, the turnovers, the missed opportunities, and things like
that. Start doing the normal things better and we’ll be okay. So that’s the vibe
I’m getting. Guys are not holding their head down at all. We understand what we
need to do and we just need to get it done. It’s simple. That’s when the
leadership group steps up. The small group that we have. Just keeping our team
together and knowing that this is the National Football League. There’s no
championships won here in this month, September, so just staying focused and
understanding what we need to do, and making sure that those young guys
understand that leading those guys, you know, and getting back on track. That’s
going to be the biggest thing for us."

Adrian Peterson: In my mind, I’m getting younger
“I feel like me not realizing that helps me,” Peterson said, via Dan Wiederer of
the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. “Me not thinking about, ‘Well, my clock is
starting to tick, getting older and older.’ That’s not doing nothing but hurting
me. So I’m thinking in my mind that each year I’m getting younger. Any way I can
look at it with the most positive view that’s going to help me, that’s the way
I’m looking at it.”
