Four years and 217 days after he rode a camel into his 30th birthday party, Adrian Peterson now wears the workhorse saddle upon which Redskins interim coach Bill Callahan will ride into U.S. Bank Stadium for Thursday night’s game against Peterson’s former team.
So, Bill, you old-school O-line coach, exactly how much football do you think is left in Peterson, who, by the way, said Tuesday he is “for sure” playing Thursday on his nicked-up ankle.
“Oh my gosh,” Callahan said Tuesday. “He’s got so much in him.”
Actually, Callahan answered that question two days earlier, not with words but rather a scripted play sheet to open the windy, rain-soaked 9-0 home loss to San Francisco.
