Vikings HC Leslie Frazier says RB Toby Gerhart earned a bigger role with his impressive play during the 2nd half of the 2011 season. "He really did a great job for us and showed us that he is worthy of more carries," Frazier said. "We want to be able to get him more involved in our offense going forward." With RB Adrian Peterson sidelined for the majority of the final 7 weeks, Gerhart averaged 4.7 yards per carry. AP is extremely iffy to be ready for the start of the 2012 season, so Gerhart could be in for a major role. Once Peterson gets back to 100%, though, we doubt Gerhart will see more than 6-8 touches per game. The talent gap between the 2 is still massive.
