Calvin affects the coverages we see and everything that teams do against us, because they always have to account for him ... That’s true of every great player.

Kevin is our workhorse running back, and he's going to get most of the carries ... We've always wanted to get Maurice some work. That's the case everywhere.

Adrian Peterson and Favre definitely present a big challenge for us ... I think their perimeter is really playing very well. [Sidney] Rice has been extremely productive at the wide receiver spot. All of that stuff factors into your game planning.

You can’t focus on one thing ... If you focus on the run, Brett Favre will beat you downfield with guys like Sidney Rice. If you focus on the pass, Adrian Peterson can run the ball. You have to balance it out and maybe try to stop both.

He can play physically and he can also finesse, which is what you want ... He took the ball off Adrian Peterson and ran it in for a touchdown (vs. the Vikings) and gave us good pressure today. He's given us a playmaker.

It's almost more about Brett Favre than Adrian Peterson because the Ravens' corners have been a weak spot. So far, Favre is throwing with a lot of zip and accuracy. The Vikings have had problems covering tight ends so Joe Flacco should have a security blanket in Todd Heap. The Ravens' offensive line, wi...

We were one of the better run defenses in the league last year ... But you get a good running back like Michael Turner, Adrian Peterson, it raises your level of play. These are guys you want to stop.

Adrian Peterson is just phenomenal ... He's hard to attack, he's amazingly fast. You've got to be completely sound in your run defense, and you've got to play great team run defense. You've got to run to the ball, you've got to play great team run defense.
