92322, yeah but even that has always scared me more about Peterson

something about maybe the sheer length of his legs or the way he plants (when he sticks one leg out to cut he looks like he's playing the hokey pokey), his legs look extra vulnerable a lot

his style mas made him a BEAST, and i'm not mad at it

but i can't even count the number of times i watched and was amazed he got out of that play with straight knees.

i'm amazed this dude doesn't have 2 shattered knees, 5 broken ribs, and a cracked disc in his neck at this point. he runs very upright a lot, and he's tall enough for it to be an extra problem. Bush runs upright a lot too, but he's a much smaller, lighter, and elusive target. And when Bush plants its usually like a quick flicker. When Peterson plants, it seems like the image freezes for a moment.

you're right about Willis though...its not necessarily over for Peterson.
