ADP or Steve Hutchinson? (1 Viewer)

[nycluvsdarams]

I know that ADP has tremendous natural talent. I've watched his videos from HS and College. He is absolutely amazing any place he plays. But, I wanted to know how much his NFL success can be contributed to the left side of his line. I know Steve Hutchinson was in Seattle when Sean Alexander was winning MVP awards. Now he is in MN and ADP is going off. Would ADP be running like this without Hutchinson?

They showed a stat at the beginning of the 4th quarter.. his runs were basically 45% left, 15% middle, 40% right.. or something close to that..

The announcers even mentioned how well he was running no matter which side he hit.

So to answer your question I'd say he'd do just fine with or without Hutchinson.

But having Hutchinson sure doesn't hurt.

Adrian Peterson is averaging 6.5 yards per carry on carries behind the left side of his OLine and 7.3 yards per carry on carries to the left sideline. This compares to 5.4 yards on carries behind the right side of his OLine, but only 4.1 yards per carry to the right sideline.People really need to give Birk, Hutch, and McKinnie their just credit here. My lord! 6.5 yards per carry and 7.3 yards per carry on the two different types of runs to their side? That is unreal!

Hutchinson will finish his career and be unanimously known as one the greatest guards of all time.

Can the same said about ADP? Perhaps. Too soon to tell.

Should Hutchinson get all the credit? Of course not.

Should Hutchinson be getting more credit? I think so.

ONLY 5.4 behind the right side? Geez, that's horrible.

That right there shows that it isn't just the line and that AP deserves as much credit. They both deserve a lot of credit but this is clearly not an example of an above average back behind a great line. Watching that game I was just stunned. There was tremendous blocking but I don't think AP was ever taken down by the first guy, whether he powered through them, juked around them (surprised there were no broken ankles), or just flat out sped past them. It was sick and I can just see the Raiders and other early round pickers smacking their foreheads.

I might have missed it, but did anyone mentioned the frequency to each side? I think it becomes even more impressive if we find out that he's going left more often than right. I know that was the case with Alexander in Seattle. He scored a ridiculous amount of his touchdowns behind Jones and Hutchinson in his MVP year.

Hmm, these averages don't agree with those others. (Edit to add: But confirmed on two sites)Direction

Must be because Hutchinson can block everywhere...????Great post and thanks for finding that. Peterson gets it done in every area of the field and runs almost as much to the right as he does to the left.

His TD totals are meaningfully higher on the left side though, and let's face it, averaging 7+ yds per carry is ridiculous. 5-6 ypc is really, really good too....

 

[Keepers]

ADP is a stud, think he would be with or without Hutchinson. But what gets overlooked is Shaun Alexander's production since Hutchinson left the Seahawks ... Alexander is getting older and has been injured quite a bit in the last two years but his Avg per carry has dropped from 5.1 in 2005 (4.8 in 2004) to 3.6 last year and 3.3 this year, coincidently when Hutchinson left.

I thought this was the Denny Green "System" finally showing results. It's the system man. As with every system it needs an acronym, I suggest "ADP".
