Adrian Peterson

However for dale and -- Sports Radio W weak -- we're broadcasting live from Phoenix, Arizona back to Boston, Massachusetts. Joining us here at our broadcast location is -- All right I admit it the way Michael feels about Ellis Hobbs is the way I feel about this guy. Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson is with us it's great to see how -- and -- I -- say this I will never shake the hand again okay this that this man had I think an entity that is rob amounts. From a did you -- those towns like very gonna -- for our practices I I said to Michael we were talking about running backs last week retirement Ladainian Tomlinson. And I said I thought Adrian Peterson was the best running back in the national football and it's kind of a little early on my part that you only played fourteen games. Which also had thirteen 141 yards in those fourteen games your rookie season other than the injury hadn't been as good as he could have expected.

it's with the -- you know successful season now where you know ultimate goal you know make into the playoffs and give them you know you know testimony today he threw well you know the ultimate goal so. We definitely in the fourth day to -- it. Adrian but how does it make you feel when people like dale he's not the only one when people call you the best running back in the league what does that do for men you know -- definitely motivates me. June that you feel it you know all of overconfident to a definitely took the handoff from people recognized in the time that I had you know and you know it is is just going to continue to grow.

You had two games this year where he had more than 200 yards in fact. Let's be honest get one game where you were only four yards shy of 300 in the game to San Diego game it's hard to not get the other four.

It's going to happen as this to me out definitely take me out with big -- leukemia. He's more plays you know -- when -- that there hasn't worn it. You know tour and I think you know -- for -- to pretty good day's work but now a lot of people who have who have gone from the first year. In the NFL from college to talk about the speed of the game and how different it is the NFL did you find at the speed of the game was just so much higher in the NFL what was it. I'm not a big difference here. Who wasn't so much -- but it it was definitely a different you know you got guys on defense minded you know round four sixes. And and and so -- so if they were to -- best to -- close -- And I'm off -- like once I tomorrow grew doin' three season and he's really adjusted to dispute game it was you know --

Tell me about your offseason you you mentioned how your goal is to get into the playoffs and get into a game like this. I mean you were already working on -- 2008 season right now.

Oh yes -- working well I think it's improved won't you know want to go home going known about things like improve upon -- But around. I'm -- on loses -- and homemade things and is trying to on recouping. To be immune you know even more productive addition ager what do you think the main thing is that you go on on like that's give us a couple things that you really want to zone -- on -- and improve -- Almost fully you know. No particular order. You know protected quarterback there's the most important thing this is being more detail you know they've moved to this marks in this -- found out. How -- it's mostly him you know play. You know this total playoff in thing. So you know those like so many things run against Eaton and influence on the not move forward to a good I'll be facing you know reflected into the tennis though just released that he field in you know just trying to improve my game.

You mentioned Chester Taylor I mean. You guys split a lot of the here I mean you still end up with thirteen 141 yards but the two guys really did split the duties a lot of the year.

Yeah we did you know and just the -- he's a great day he's been great mentor to me any guy he really opening you know -- the season partners -- Through but you know I could say two horses and their wants and with him out of games we play. You know it is good -- to expect him you know definitely run you know won't move the ball and you know I'll consumed bill.

your team played the giants this year and it's a game the giants don't really run want to talk about if you had a way with the oh -- you see this game now you've seen the giants of clothes you guys can play the patriots this year they played him last year you're still in Oklahoma. I -- the game plan out.

You know populated you predictable there are pretty game I gotta go with Peyton Manning came to score undefeated they gave I don't go about it two weeks to prepare for the who designed so you lose them took from the time.

He speaks like command wise beyond her years as a bully bit in the league for a year which -- said he talked like command and we're Taco Bell a check in the two weeks now that. I understand that you also serve -- mean murder. Yes and you're going to be servant burgers that Michael weak -- and and get served burgers by these guys today --

Well where's this that tell us about tell us about the burgers -- chilies out smoke. You know partner and I'm telling you of the it was too tedious. It's you know it'd be apple loose making them he moved to achieve. Is this is this the bases you going to these dot com and vote. For me I'm competing in Drew Brees. Brian risk. In you can go for me you know you've raised me from my foundation -- Zanardi foundation and I'm also in his. -- You know two tickets to pro or college -- an awful numbers.

But Taylor if you offer free food to the folks in this room. They'll show -- I'm a free food for the media native to be take a look at this well he's the only guy in good shape for right well.

You percent of pro college football game they could be -- toss the ball game going to be the red river shootout could be. Oklahoma Texas any game any game.

Too much time was too much time to prepare pretty game nations -- up -- you know is this should be a playoff system college football and we're right. A little organized well right the end. Now here's what they won't happen you know -- citizenship clubhouse -- robredo what Oklahoma didn't sit well. How did Oklahoma play like that against West Virginia there is no excuse for them play like that I know. You know -- him -- and he uses. You know -- long was you know -- the games not a game. He created being yet you're right you're.

Before we let you go I gotta ask you about it in and -- and how often you guys are working for a living out and how often you get to see the patriots playbook. What do you think would you watch a guy like Brady operating at the efficiency that he operates that.

Man he's amassed you know you utility that we managed the game. He's -- new unique you know play here you know this so with time it guide you really need to -- special.
