AP sat out practice on wednesday...

There is this guy that has missed Wednesday practices for like the past 3 years but his ass still brings it on Sundays. Doesn't seem to have impacted him much.

This.

don't forget Ponder...he's not horrible

I foresee Shiancoe having a big day.

Actually there's some importance to this. Not so much AP by himself but:

-Adrian Peterson missed Wednesday's practice due to hurt ankle form last week

-Also: Percy Harvin, Visanthe Shiancoe, Erin Henderson and Anthony Herrera all missed practice Wednesday

-Herrera is doubtful for Sunday

-Remi Ayodele, linebacker E.J. Henderson, defensive end Brian Robison and cornerback Antoine Winfield were all limited

-Sanford, Sullivan and safety Husain Abdullah have to pass concussion tests to play.

Even if most of those guys play....that's a huge chunk of their starting line-up missing at least one day of practice. That can't be good when preparing for a game.

Wednesday is normally a day where a vet will take the day off for some extra rest, I do not see it being anymore than that.

AP will play. He is a veteran RB. He will miss lots of practices this year. Big deal.

[Pantherball]

That may be but they were all a bit banged up. Not to mention the Cook incident which is never a good thing.

Herrera's out for sure and 3 of those guys will have to pass concussion tests to play. We can pick on whoever they put at RG in place of Herrera. And a good shot to Percy Harvin's ribs might knock him right back out of the game if he decides to play.

Minnesota is good against the run because their secondary is so weak that teams just decide it is easier to pass down the field versus run it. I don't care how we move the ball as long as we do it.

I can't imagine that we won't load up the box and come heavy with the run blitz. As long as defenders play disciplined football and stay in their lanes we should be okay. Make Ponder beat us with his arm.

I'm sure there is a correlation but I don't buy that as the majority.
