Toby Gerhart is expected to be the Vikings' primary back against the Jaguars Sunday.
If Adrian Peterson (knee) is active, he'll have "limited exposure" according to coach Leslie Frazier. That leaves the feature back job to Gerhart, who has proved he is capable of handling big workloads before. In the five games that Peterson has missed over the last two seasons, Gerhart has averaged 21.0 touches. "We feel like we don't have to change any of our plays. We're very confident and comfortable with Toby being our lead back if that's the case," Frazier said.
there seems to be alot of really good buzz surrounding gerhart this week. Jags had one of the worst run defenses last year and not much seems to have changed since.
if gerhart gets some good stats this week, i'll be laughing all the way to the proverbial bank. picked him up as my 15th pick =)
