Peterson - 12 carries 63 yards???

You are right. That is why he goes out on 3rd down with any length. They dont need a guy hurt who cant block anyway. And all Peterson does need to do is pick up the blitz. He is not going to block for another RB. Picking up blitzes takes experience that he does not have.
But when one has a QB that cant throw the ball anyway, it probably is madness having Peterson in the game even attempting to block. Too valuable for the QB he should be protecting.
