Good article today in the Chattanooga paper on Peterson...best part of the article is the following quote from Miles....I like the way he talks. "He takes nothing for granted. He's made some great plays and certainly has the potential to turn games around individually. With his want to be the best and the way he approaches practice, he's liable to have one of the spectacular years I've been around." Nice quote from PP. You always hear in sports "see it before you do it." In the article, PP said... "I kind of knew what ws going to happen. Before the opening kickoff, I was thinking, I'm definitely going to get one tonight. When a game gets near, I have visions, kind of like daydreaming and seeing myself running into the end zone. I can tell when it's going to be a pretty good night." Hope that attitude is contagious.....
The fans started cheering before he even caught the ball. You could see the lane forming before he even touched it. You knew if he didn't somehow drop it he was gone. I can't recall ever seeing something like that before. He's that special of a player.
It's a different style. Kinchen got his big returns on cutbacks, double-cutbacks and would sometimes run from sideline to sideline looking for a lane. Cannon would lumber straight ahead, knocking people down, stiff-arming, and shedding tackles. Holiday would hesitate a second and let the headhunters converge on him, then side-step them and disappear at warp speed. Peterson steps right up and finds a crease inside and he's through it instantly.
PP is awesome. Not to derail the thread here, is it possible that some of this could rub off on JJ? :geauxtige
I was in Tiger Stadium the night Kinchin ran a kick back for a TD that beat Texas A&M. My recollection was he went straight up the field with a huge burst of speed, found a seam and was gone....
