JoA,

IMO, saying he was boom and bust on Sunday is the definition of nit-picking.

Chi loaded the line a lot Sunday b/c AP is all Minny has. He is just really good and was able to make something out of nothing on two of those big runs early in the run. Barry Sanders used to be "boom and bust" a lot as you say but that really doesn't have anything to do with anything other than stacking the box at the line of scrimmage--which is also why he had 3 big runs, once he got 10 yards deep there wasn't much left.
