I forget what all they were, but Zimmer did wonders for that defense last year, ditching that tired ass, reactive cover 2, they climbed in a bunch of standings... but its still his second year, probably 2/3 of that team still aren't "his guys" yet.
They're an ascending team alright, but don't expect too much.
Especially from Peterson, theres a ton of biological/physical factors at play there, not to mention the fact that he does NOT want to be there, he feels like the fans and team abandoned him at his time of greatest need... how hard is he really going to try for them?

I've never heard anything negative about his work ethic. The guy spent New Year's in the hospital recovering from surgery so he could get back to 100% health by the start of the 2012 season.
He may feel unappreciated but he's been out of the mix for an entire season and dealt with several off-the-field issues in the meantime. I'd bet he wants nothing more than to re-claim his title as best RB in the league.
