The good news about Adrian Peterson signing with Washington now is that there is still enough time for us to convince ourselves that his new team doesn’t have to drastically change their offensive plans to suit his running style.
Remember the delirious hype heading into last year’s Saints opener? New Orleans was the perfect fit for Peterson. He finally found the right offense. He was totally fine with not being “the guy” until that time when he was not fine with not being “the guy.”
New Orleans’ offense could be read like a large-print James Patterson over the first few weeks of the 2017 season.
