I loved the acceleration after the 2nd stiff arm. It looked like #95 might of had an angle on him, but AP just run away from the defense. amazing

look forward to these all season long…

kind of addictive watching over and over the part of this run where Eric Wright comes streaking in to attempt a stop, but AD just calmly throws Wright clear off the football field and onto his behind. No wonder Jim Brown prefers what AD does to what Tomlinson does, since these are exactly the kind of runs Brown used to make half a century ago. Heck, even Bruce Lee would have liked watching this style of football.

All Favre has to do is keep the Kryptonite off the field, and the quarterback job will be just a piece of cake, even for an elderly man like himself.

Good Lord, that stiff-arm he uses to just contemptuously throw Wright out of his way and off the field was even better than the punking he gave Al Harris! That was just insane, it’s going to make every opposing secondary in the NFL double-think before they approach Purple Jesus in the future!

LOVE IT!

If you look closely, you can see that the entire field is made of water. :-)

Not fair at all. To be bigger, faster and stronger than your opponents is quite an unnatural advantage to have on this level. He might as well be a shape shifter or a time jumper.

Let’s give him props for the downfield blocking.

Peterson: TD run against Browns at top of his list
Jon Krawczynski – 09/15/2009

EDEN PRAIRIE — Adrian Peterson’s latest television commercial features the running back juking, stiff-arming and leapfrogging his way through a defense on his way to the end zone. He trudges off the field after the improbable run, leaving an overmatched and humbled batch of defenders in his wake, then sits in front of his locker. He removes his helmet and pads, revealing an otherworldly skin that takes on the shape and texture of the padding that made him impervious and unstoppable on the field. Haven’t seen it? Watch his 64-yard touchdown run at Cleveland on Sunday. It’s even better. Held to 25 yards in nine carries in the first half, Peterson needed an IV at halftime to treat dehydration, made himself vomit because he was feeling nauseous and had blood gushing from a wound in his arm early in the third quarter. Beaten? Hardly. With blood on his jersey and fire in his eye, Peterson delivered perhaps the greatest run of a brilliant young career that is already filled with them in the Vikings’ 34-20 season-opening win over the Browns. "He’s the epitome of what football is," tight end Visanthe Shiancoe said. In the city that Jim Brown helped put on the map, and with the Hall of Famer watching from the opposite sideline, Peterson showed off every possible physical gift a running back can possess, all in one play in the fourth quarter. Kicker Ryan Longwell said he’s never seen anything like it. "Not even in video games," Longwell said on Monday. "I called my family after the game. They were down in Orlando and didn’t get (to watch) the game. I told my son, who is a big Adrian fan, that you’ve got to turn on the TV and see this run because it’s something that you’ll never see again." First came the vision. Peterson took the handoff from Brett Favre and surged off left tackle, finding a big hole that got him past the defensive line and linebackers and into the Cleveland secondary. Then came the agility. Safety Brodney Pool was the first Browns defender to really have a shot at him, and Peterson stutter-stepped so quickly and violently that Pool fell to the turf while grasping at air. The power portion was next. He rumbled up the Browns sideline when cornerback Eric Wright caught up to him. Peterson stopped, and with one arm, hurled Wright completely out of bounds. "That was the ‘kiss the baby’ part right there," Vikings defensive end Ray Edwards said, borrowing a phrase that Bengals receiver Chad Ochocinco uses to say "it’s over." Not quite. Then it was time for the acceleration. From a dead stop, Peterson revved up to full speed again with the end zone in his sights, stiff-arming cornerback Brandon McDonald and then outrunning safety Abram Elam and linebacker Kamerion Wimbley to the goal line for the final 64 of his 180 yards rushing. All told, six tacklers had their hands on him at one point or another. All came away looking like the actors in that Nike spot. "It was tough to watch," Wimbley said. "It was impressive. He showed strength and speed all in one thing. He’s got all the tools." It was the eighth run of at least 50 yards, and 17th 100-yard game, for Peterson in just 31 games. "As far as effort-wise, it’s got to be at the top," Peterson said. "As far as guys contributing to making a big play happen, it definitely tops it." That distinction means it’s the kind of run begging for a name. "The Run" is too simplistic and fails to convey the unprecedented combination of Barry Sanders’ quickness, Earl Campbell’s power, Brown’s determination and Eric Dickerson’s speed. Edwards’ "kiss the baby" quote, while entertaining, is already owned by Ochocinco. Receiver Sidney Rice, who had two big blocks to help spring it, may have the best suggestion. "I told him, you relived your Nike commercial," Rice said. "That’s exactly what I told him. He was just out there doing some amazing stuff." So there it is. When referencing Peterson’s highlight-reel runs, look for "The Commercial" right at the top of the heap. For now.
