WOW ADRIAN PETERSON IS A GAWTDAMN MONSTER!!(THINKS HE'LL BE BACK BY WEEK 1)

[YouMadd?]

Im proud of this man... He's coming back to regain the RB thrown..

Peterson is locked in on another date: Sept. 9, 2012.

That's the day the Vikings open the regular season against Jacksonville. That's now 14 weeks away.

"What I envision is to be suited up and ready to roll. Full strength," Peterson said. "Anything else? I would be cheating myself."

At this stage, Peterson has done two Winter Park rehab workouts in front of the media. The most recent came Wednesday.

He shuffled while chasing a soccer ball in a sand pit.

He ran sprints with receiver Percy Harvin, sprinting up a steep hill beside the practice field each time.

Peterson also ran full speed in the end zone as Sugarman restricted his progress with a parachute apparatus, then suddenly released him to run free.

"I was having a heck of a time holding him back," Sugarman said.

That's been the challenge all along.

Plus, it's only going to get harder as Peterson continues to see Vikings teammates practicing and working toward that season opener.

For now, he remains ahead of schedule. His full range of motion has returned. He looks great and feels better.

But Paine issues a reminder of the phases Peterson has yet to clear. His left quadriceps still needs strengthening. Then there's the inescapable need to regain proprioception -- getting his knee to reach a state of equilibrium and balance with the rest of his body. That takes time.

So while Sugarman supports Peterson's urge to be ready for Week 1, he isn't crazy enough to promise it.

"In reality, he is only going to be back on the field when he is functionally safe to go on the field. Not just because he wants to say, 'Oh, I did it. I'm the greatest.' There's a lot more to it."

Which leads to the one question that seems to confound Peterson: What happens if Sept. 9 arrives and he is not ready to play?

"I don't know how to answer that question," Peterson said. "And I struggle to even entertain it. Because that's not the way my mind is tuned in. I can't let that negativity seep in. My mindset is that I will be there. I want to be playing. Forget what everyone else says."

OK.

So Sept. 9 remains the goal until it's no longer possible. Then, if need be, Peterson will readjust.

"No," Peterson asserted. "The goal is the goal. And I'm going to accomplish it."

an ACL tear is an ACL tear, whether its a high impact injury or a non contact injury.

and all Ive said is someone needs to tell him to chill. Lets see if Minnesota holds true to that.

Ive read about athletes coming back to soon and blowing their knee out again during training because it wasnt stable enough.

Wes Welker blew out his knee and was back working out w/ the team in almost the same time frame (5 months) and was starting week 1
