Yeah. The kid looks mighty impressive so far.

...that run reminded me of Hershel Walker.

Yes it was. Not a bad second carry either. 7 teams are gonna be upset they passed on him.

that first carry was incredible! a really nice spin move, a great burst, and then he just leveled a db that tried to tackle him. it sounds like Aikman has a mancrush on him! :D

Lets see if he can stay healthy. Thats always been his rub.

He'll be fine. Freak injuries and such can happen. He'll be absolutely fine.

He's going to be a major force in the league.

Childress has stated that Peterson had an outstanding camp.

I'm not so sure. It's not the little bumps or "freak injuries" that he had in college that worry me. It's his running style. The fact that he runs so upright and is constantly looking to hit/go through the other guy (ex: first run of this game) is not going to be doing his body any favors.

That being said, if he can stay healthy, he will be an absolute force in this league for years to come.

He got hurt every year in college and he plays a position not known for longevity. If he makes it through his rookie year without doing the same I'll change my mind but hes shown to be injury prone so far.

gotta agree w/ Fuzzy on this one

but one thing he has going for him is he's rotating w/ Chester Taylor

I dont remember him getting hurt his freshman season? I know he got hurt the following two years. Not that that makes a big difference. He was very close to winning the heisman his freshman year

He played with that high ankle sprain his sophomore year. I give him credit for gutting that one out, though.

And hey... No comments on the appearance of one Drew Henson? :D

Drew Henson playing is the only reason I havent turned the game yet. I hope he does well. For some reason I really liked him
