More fumbling for answers

Ugh, I just had to follow up my piece on the Saints with a quick beatdown of NFL network analyst Michael Lombardi. When asked about the fumbling woes of Adrian Peterson he proceeded to talk about how Peterson has large biceps and that these hinder his ability to tuck the ball away securely, and then further added that this is a problem shared by a lot of players who lift weights etc, ad nauseam. Michael, don't be an idiot. Go and watch some film of Adrian Peterson. Watch him running down the field, with just his wrist cocked to hold the ball. He doesn't even bother to tuck it. Naturally, when he gets into a tight spot he closes his arm in, but usually not even enough to bring the ball into contact with his chest. Poor fundamentals. That's why he fumbles so much. Grrrrr!!!
