Re: Adrian Peterson out for the season
[ QUOTE ]
Peterson was touched by the defender, but he probably could have maintained his balance. There is no question he could have simply fallen into the end zone for a TD. Perhaps being tripped affected his intended trajectory and resulted in the injury. There appears to be no question to me or Stoops that he dove into the end zone.

He broke his collarbone diving you are right but to say that he shoudlnt of dove is not right. If the defender was near him and it looked like the defender might be able to keep him out of the endzone he has to dive. Plus he is running full speed when a defender come near him he doesnt have time to reason that he can probably just fall into the endzone instead of dive. He saw the defender, knew he wasnt in the end zone yet and dove in just like he is probably coached to do.
