A new running game, All Day long
The important numbers are these: 2.6 and 32. The Cardinals are averaging, as a team, 2.6 yards a carry this season through five games, last in the NFL. The hope is that running back Adrian Peterson – 32 years old – still has enough to make a dent in that problem. Peterson arrives with not much production himself in limited carries with the Saints this season, but he still has plenty of confidence he’ll produce if given the carries. The Cardinals need something to spark the offense.
