And came back after 8 months

I saw him that year in St Louis where he ran for 212 and a TD. Including the long 73 yard rush. I'm a bit biased because I've been a Vikings fan since 2000 but I've never seen a running back as well rounded... Speed, power, elusiveness, awareness, finesse, vision... Dude had it all and I was glad he was on our team. SKOL

I'm pretty sure he didn't master that.

I am pretty sure only thing he mastered was how to throw a interceptions

More like master of pick sixes and blindside strip sacks

Brady is the master of check downs

I see nun of y’all got the joke

@Smoove Diggity Yeah... no

Smoove Diggity Not even close

ZEKE!!! eats what you mean

Smoove Diggity No zeke

Any of you even watch football? 😂 AP was amazing, LT played at the same time, just a couple years before AP. And today's running backs are amazing too. Alvin Kamara runs so smoothy. Leveon Bell runs with patience and can make something out of nothing. Todd Gurley and Zeke?? Bell cows that are amazing. You guys don't know anything about football.

Carried this team on his back

No, there were at least 2 bubble screens to Harvin that Ponder threw at his feet.

@@nathaniellarson8 lol. Ponder was so ass

No way... Are you serious!?!?

Hahaha.. this is great.

SKOLLLLL!!!!

fukn right bro

wow, what a fucking great game, was this the 2012 season? had to be with Ponder back there and I think I saw Berrian and Wade in there too, no?

Ivan Daniel yup thats ponder back there... #darkdays lol. Ap was literally our only offensive weapon. Percy would do work here n there but ap was a workhorse.

I liked Percy, a LOT. I honestly think he ran as hand and as angry as Peterson. I also think he was quicker to the line of scrimmage when he would take handoffs from the RB position (not an end and around)

I can't argue that

Yeah but that was a pretty tough and ballsy tackle by Earl Thomas, I'm not gonna lie... And I doubt not one person on this comment section would even attempt that!

if I was making a couple mill...sure

Damien X yeah pretty tough. However, you don’t get up talking smack after you give up 15 yards AND you basically got ran over. Your team didn’t win that down.

@@TrestanSKYWALKR... Yea, I completely agree with you... And Earl got much more "trucked" than successfully using the "hit stick!" Basically he was in a bull's path & happened to trip the bull! HaHa... (Honestly though, when Peterson was on the Vikings & was running, he honestly reminded me of a bull charging somebody! Yea, maybe the horns on the helmet played a small role. (lol) But even now with my Redskins, he still looks like & reminds me of a friggin bull charging!) MOVE BITCH! GET OUT THE WAY!

@@kylepett1 ... Eeeehhh yea, sure. BUT assuming you're the size of an average KZfaqr, (IDK, you can visualize what that might look like) BUT after you did what Earl Thomas did, you're not getting backup... and if you do happen to survive, you're most likely paralyzed for the rest of your life! (I mean look at that hit/contact! That is honestly a great comparison when they say every tackle is a car crash!) LAST QUESTION... I know you said you would do that for a couple million... but what would be the minimum you would do just that 1 play for? $50,000? $20,000?? $10,000???

SEAGUILAS if it wasn’t for the legion of boom, the Game wouldn’t have been close

If wishes were fishes we'd be up to our asses in basses

Speak dem facts

U don't say

But it was for Peterson lol

He was pretty much the only thing keeping us from becoming the browns..

pretty much dude. I bet people that aren't vikings fans didn't know anyone on the vikings besides peterson

I don't think he got us to the playoffs. It was Peterson. And a decent D.

Cams Vikings it was adrian peterson carrying the whole team on his shoulders actually. we're talking 2012. yes thats literally what it felt like

Daniel Cone Defense had Jared Allen and young Harry the Hitman, everyone else was old, meh, unproven, or Chris Cook/Josh Robinson

OD Wilson omg that is so facts lmfaoo 😂 I ran so much better without gloves

OMG bro same. I played QB and didn't wear socks. Threw way better.

No wonder hes a great. I dont remember seeing him with gloves.

I ran so much better without pants on.

@@sludge4125that’s only because this world is to discriminant to have to courage to tackle a pants-less man lol. I’m happy for your success and salute your bravery sir

bruh I said the same thing. Zero awareness

He was too high

It was bad. He basically took the TD away from Adrian. Oh well.

That was a filthy underrated hustle play. FILTHY. Had to go back and watch 2 or 3 more times

Look like he pulled up to me celebrating early? Pulled hammy? Who knows but AD always runs hard something looked off

He caught him at a angle bro..and you have to consider that AP was just coming back from ACL surgery so he was still kind of rusty

Only person able to stop him was browner

He was slowing up

Same with Cousins and the North. #HAIL

Cowboys fan lol. I like ap though. Texas boy. I hope he does well.. Adds to his legend.

SkolToTheBowl

@@whatinthefahhhhh5532 lmao the Vikings aren't going anywhere hahahahahah

@Chris Calvert cool post man. Im looking forward to watching Cousins throw big numbers for the Vikes. He is a great QB, and wishing for him all the best for the Vikings this year too. Redskins fan.

Nah he not

only backs that could compete are backs with mvps

@@patricknbrooks11 Jim Brown Payton Sanders Emmit Sayers LT all was better

@@patricknbrooks11 curtis martin as well

Zetumbo 8 Jim brown is the only back that fought as hard as AP for extra yards there is no other back i have seen with multiple lineman on them that just carried them to the end zone or an extra 4 yards. One of the best yards after contact backs

AP had fumblitis really badly in his prime, and it cost the vikings in their prime. they also had 2 of the 4 best O linemen in the entire league. their entire O line from 06 til 2014 were stud run blocking maulers, plus the tight ends they used were basically just huge blocking guys. AP was great too, but i mean he also had a lot of flaws in his career and cost the vikings many big games.

Space Age Productions You can look at fumbles all you want but the biggest game he was in they got screwed by the refs. And the year he went off their starting QB got injured before the playoffs. He was so unlucky in his career. He had pretty much the most workload. Name someone who sees 8 stacked in the box on every single play he's in? Then tell me how many times they fumble the ball.

the biggest game they were in was the NFCCG in 2010 against the saints where AP fumbled twice on key game changing possessions. Btw they were the benefactors of many calls that game, and had the refs in their favor, but as a team fumbled five times and favre threw that late terrible interception.

@@IPIRIEY could care less he carried the team

Space Age Productions refs were not in vikes favor especially not in overtime

If the WR makes that block he scores

Hate when receivers run to catch up with the rb instead of looking to block. Btw Browner had the angle

@@jedic5071 So what, AP had a lead, and BB still ran him down, hell of a hustle play

We won and they didn't do a damn thing thru the air AP was a beast though

Yo that spin that put Thomas on his knees was sick.

He only had a few runs over 10 yds a lot of his carries was less the 3 ypg

@@koimatai4600 lol you forget it was against Christan Ponder. It wasnt like it was a top 15 qb behind center. Shit... as a Vikings fan... Peterson's MVP season ACTUALLY credited Ponder for 4 wins when he threw for LESS THAN 100 TOTAL YARDS on a total of like 14 attempts.

@@iceman763 I feel what your saying but you can run for a thousand yards in one game but to lose makes it irrelevant facts

Why would Peterson be a Seahawks legend?

He got suspended that next week for using steroids no lie i remember it cuz i watched that whole season begged my parents to get the NFL sunday ticket lol

Brandon Browner will always be a true member of the LOB. Absolute animal

Yea AP broke that huge run and his blockers couldn't even look behind them and see Browner flying up. They failed AP in a big way lol could have easily slowed Browner or blocked him?

I didn't know Browner had speed like that

Maurice Rockingham Dude is like 6'4 he was around his prime in this video I guess.. On the field like a fuckin ostrich

Our generation's Eric Dickerson.

That year was insane, I took megatron first overall who broke rices record that year so not to bad of 1st overall pick. I was shocked when AD was still available in the third though and had to take a flyer. The rest of my team was irrelevant when I had Calvin and Adrian putting up 30 a week lol

Fumbled too much though. Could have had a ring with Favre.

@@banksta3 farve was a bum who threw the game away with int

@@antjames9958 AP fumbled THREE times that game. All turnovers. And they lost by 3 points.

@@antjames9958 Then he fumbled the game away vs Seattle in that frozen negative temperature game. Sure Blair Walsh missed an easy FG, but they could have killed the clock and won.

Swine-Flew, not of that changes the fact that that he is objectively the best RB of the last 10-15 years, dude. Name a single RB who’s been better.

I’m a lifelong Vikings fan and I know all about their O-Lines and this was a mediocre line with Christian ponder at QB. He had a better line earlier in his career but not here. The best lineman might have been Kahlil who was a bit of a draft bust at OT from USC. Earlier he had Matt birk at C and Phil loadholdt and Bryant Mckinnie at OT’s and HOF G Steve Hutchinson, but it never mattered anyway because Peterson was such a beast. Defenses would stack 9 at the line of scrimmage and he’d still go for over 100 every week. Definitely one of the top 5 backs of all-time

He was the last of a dying breed. He had a lot of injuries but played for a long time. Bruises usually dont last long. Like Marion Barber was pretty solid for 3 years and great for 1. He made the pro bowl as a backup with 12 rushing tds lol. Those are the guys that will have terrible hips when theyre old and probably 99% of powerbacks have CTE.

You won’t see another ap bro he was different

yeah. and remember when he was fast af as a rookie

WHAT IN THE FAHHHhh he old as shit and he still fast af lol

@@whatinthefahhhhh5532 4.3-4.4 speed

Yeah and with no QB, they stacked the box every damn play.

@@GoHard4Home Yep and 10.3 speed in 100 meters. Elite top end speed at 205 in high school.

Stone hands bro. There is no arguing it

Choked in the big game when we needed him.

@@doughazzard2532u blame the black man but not Brett farve 🤔

Evan Goddu he is a HOF safety on one of the greatest defense let alone secondary’s of all time if he can continue to be good he’s a top 5 safety

Evan Goddu what you expect him to do shake his hand lol you gotta have pride to play football

He does better than other safeties

Lavar Ball - not on that day he wasn't

@@ivanmartinez632 Seattle won. He coulda had 500 yrds. Without a win, its pointless this KZfaqr say he "dominated"

He wasn’t an above average fumbler. Lots of backs have 10 fumbles in a year

Radford University literally same as Moss and Megatron smh

Barry sanders had the #1 offense in the nfl the #10 defense and made the playoffs 6 out of his 10 years there lol

@@m43854 I'll take shit that never happened for 500. Never had the number one offense and in the year they had a top 5 offense, it wasn't cause if Rodney Peete. Made the playoffs 4 times with 10 or fewer wins where Barry carried them there. His best team made it to the NFC Championship. AD and Barry careers are almost identical

Except 09 vikings

Marshawn Lynch

Walter Payton

Saquon

Bo Jackson

Ezekiel

Kbholla that little Earl you’re talking about is the best safety in the NFL right now lol

Brandon Santos Wrong, Harrison Smith is far better.

@@hybridce99 Earl Best

hybridce99 hell no smith cant cover as much ground as thomas

Harrison Smith is the best safety on the field overall. Check the stats

nah, abdominal, grotesque.

I'd personally say hes the best when u look at athleticism not the consistency. he had 30 less rushes than eric dickerson in 2012

joe montgomery that makes no sense

What

The best ever is the same as the greatest of all time.

@Jar of Smegma Why do you feel the need to post that? You're part of the reason why there is tension.

@Jar of Smegma Why are you watching a black players highlights? Shouldn't you be watching Danny Woodhead?

HOF GOAT skill

AP is extremely good but the lob was more of a passing defense

@@ericflores4407 between this and the 2013 season against the 49ers, the trick was to attack them on the ground. Earl and Bobby had to be oversized(they're not the tallest guys in the league)and Richard had to be overpowered(lanky and skinny). Taking out Chancellor was a matter of moving away from him on the field and taking him out of run plays if possible. That was all easier said than done

Never was a legion of boom more like legion of poof

Never trusted the coach again after that SB play..

Nah 2. Should have ran the ball. NFC is too tough

Should have could have but they didn't and people need to stop using the excuse about them not trusting Pete Carroll after throwing the ball instead of running it because had that ball been caught for a TD you would be praising him calling him a genius it could have gone either way who knows if lynch ran the ball whos to say he wouldn't have fumbled it or get tackled for loss of yards, its football and its any given Sunday meaning anything can happen also great teams move on and learn from failure rather than dwelling on the past

You're fucking stupid

That’s the cte talking at 5:32

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy cannot be diagnosed on the living, you dumbass!

Love it

Daniel?

sam hawkz stfu all the piece were there

it started around then. Seahawks d was at its prime from 2013 to maybe early 16

@@packisbetter90 it started after the Tom Brady loss in Seattle. Adrian Peterson was shut out once it started. What made legion of boom so good, was that their defense played very discipline and with alot of trust. Speed was a factor as well. They can rush the qb and play aggressively without worrying about corners getting beat. After the super bowl loss to Patriots. Seattle loss a lot trust in management and fingers were pointed at each other. I blame Wilson also for not changing the play coaching decisions. Then Wilson was in his 3rd year so I can see why he didnt go against coaching on stupid pass play.

He was scared before AP put that spin move on him. He def hesitates, which you cant fault him for so he came back looking to make some contact

White Pass Warriors is that all you got...

Because they won the game and AP was pretty much their only player on offense. Ponder only passed for 63 yards, lol

He was running over Earl Thomas lol.....

Edwin Santiago Earl never backed down even on him. Which is why Peterson couldn’t ever win against the Seahawks after the LOB formed while he was on the Vikings

irhungry66 doesn’t matter if they never backed down because he still toasted them

LedZep's X you forgot Emmitt

He isn't 😂😂

Unfortunately i dont think hes gonna ever be considered the best ever, and im a diehard vikings fan, but i will say he was easily the most fun player to watch because he could take a play that was designed to get 1 yard go 80

Facts don’t @ me

@@cirilocampos9909 no facts

Best ever? Lol. I don't think so. Ever see Barry Sanders play?

What boi that's a great open tackle on a future HOF running back in the open field we've seen ap run over ppl on that

what do you mean, "nice try bud?" Peterson had a FULL head of steam, coming down hill and Thomas (#29) stoned him, he didn't make another yard after that monster hit... he didn't even fall fwd.to be honest, it was a really good run, GREAT tackle and I'm not sure how either of them got up so quickly right afterwards and kept playing. great, hard, clean collision though!! I LOVE IT!PS. this is coming from the biggest Vikings and BIGGEST Peterson fan, but Thomas won that collision.

see my comment

Ivan Daniel he's talking about #29 trying to start shit with All Day after the play. AD was clearly above that juvenile behavior.

5:08 I guess we not going to speak on that lol
