It's interesting to compare AD with his backup McKinnon. Proportion of runs that go for positive yards, 2015 Jerick McKinnon 0.846(+.063) Adrian Peterson 0.783 Proportion of runs that go for at least 3 yards, 2015 Jerick McKinnon 0.615(+.077) Adrian Peterson 0.538 Proportion of runs that go for at least 4 yards, 2015 Jerick McKinnon 0.500(+.075) Adrian Peterson 0.425 Proportion of runs that gained at least 5 yards, 2015 Jerick McKinnon 0.365(+.026) Adrian Peterson 0.339 Proportion of runs that gained at least 10 yards, 2015 Adrian Peterson 0.131(+.016) Jerick McKinnon 0.115 Proportion of runs that gained at least 20 yards, 2015 Adrian Peterson 0.031(+.012) Jerick McKinnon 0.019 McKinnon has an advantage until you get into home run hitter stage (+ten yards) As a Vikings fan I noticed that when AD is in, he is the focus of the defense. Stop AD, stop AD, stop AD. Also, AD's running style clashes with Bridegwater's natural play. AD likes to be eight yards back, Bridgewater works best out of a shotgun. When McKinnon comes in the defenses relax away from the run, cover the whole field and he's able to get more yards. The offense has a whole has more flexibility. The balancing factor is that AD is a HOF runner and if he gets lose it can destroy the team they are playing.
