Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 that looks like a purple nerf ball i once had. Spoilers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hormone Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 It almost looks like spandex or something. Maybe it's meant to make the ball a little "slicker" so they get used to carrying it tighter?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leopard88 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 It almost looks like spandex or something. Maybe it's meant to make the ball a little "slicker" so they get used to carrying it tighter??????Agreed. It looks sort of like one of those covers that teams sometimes put on helmets during drills and scrimmages to differentiate players.

Ben5 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Correct. Teams use these ball covers so quarterbacks and running backs can get used to handing off and carrying balls that are slicker than normal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSky Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 Wow, you learn something every day. As a Saints fan, that's the one area of Reggie Bush's game I'd like to see improved. He fumbles a little too often. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedawg22 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 Bet you could really fool the D with play action fakes using that ball. It reminds me of when Paul Brown sewed patches of leather on the stomachs of all his running backs' jerseys so the defense couldn't tell who had the ball (before they outlawed those kind of shenanigans). oh ,my god ,i strong recommend you to have a visit on the website ,or if i'm the president ,i would have an barceque with the anthor of the articel .

Joshawaggie Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 damn, it's a good sight to see #28 Adrian Peterson in purple. @josh_j12 CFA- Fargo Bobcats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drevel Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I believe it is almost like a nylon type fabric to cover the ball to get the players to grip the ball better. I think some QB's use the same thing in red to conver there helmets in training as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leedsunited Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Speaking of Peterson, isn't he the highest-caliber RB they've had since Herschel Walker? (I know some of you would argue for Robert Smith, but I never fully bought into him as a all-down, all purpose bruiser back). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black_gold_capone Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 as far as I remember leetsunited is right lol, I think Chester Taylor could've made a move to superstardom but who knows now Now that we have the one for the thumb, the other hand looks lonely........GO STEELERS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 as far as I remember leetsunited is right lol, I think Chester Taylor could've made a move to superstardom but who knows now...and Chester may very well still be able to do that. I don't think Adrian has yet been penciled in as the de facto starter up there in purple people land. For his sake (and the sake of the Vikings, for that matter), I hope he doesn't get dogged down by the injury bug, but that is always a possibility. But hell...Chester Taylor and Adrian Peterson in the same backfield, whether both are on the field at the same time or not, should be enough to keep D's up at night. I foresee some pretty good things coming out of the Purple People's running game this year.Oh--and speaking of which...is Jim Kleinsasser still there??? *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harperdc Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 Downside - these will probably get really waterlogged when they're taken out on the sex boat.thread winner. I still want to find a cheap "SMOOT - 21" jersey. Master of the Cover-2, indeed.and Adrian Peterson is a freak of a RB. sure, the Ducks don't have the greatest run d, but he was unstoppable last September when we played them. Only Reggie Bush has ever impressed me more in person. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
