I was expecting a break-out type of season from Ameer Abdullah this year, so long as he could finally stay healthy. His health doesn't seem to be an issue this season though, it seems more like DET playing from behind in catch up mode too often while abandoning the run. He's not terrible or anything, but I was expecting much more production. inoccent , do you think this will be the norm rest of the season? Like, pretty much what you see is what you get basically? The interesting thing about Abdullah is, he is one of the top backs when it comes to run after contact. Our offensive line however, can't open a damn hole for him. I would also attribute the playing from behind and abandoning the run to his stats this year. Well, looks like they abandoned whatever it is that Theo Riddick does as well (slot and left (?) backfield perhaps)? That leaves a combo of 1) playing from behind, and 2) not being able to open a hole, to result in more of the same. Maybe they've figued out a thing or 2 over their bye, we shall soon see.

"Bus and bust, wow" I really like it that you don't try to sound overly polished and professional. But all the basic qualities are there. You touch on everything important, and you have a natural flow. "Doubt it, but it could happen". Very entertaining. Thanks!!!

I have to act professionally on camera when I'm at work or my other sports show, so I like to let loose and just be casual when I'm doing my own thing.

Yeah, you had me crackin' up a few times there, but your overall analysis was good.

They won, but I unfortunartely got the answer I wasn't wanting, regarding Ameer Abdullah. Dude is just cursed. This was the perfect type of scenario for him to shine, IMO. Instead, he fumbles twice and blows that opportunity. Now he's in the doghouse. SMH Really thought if he could stay healthy this season, that he'd have a breakout year. The running game is a big hindrance to your teams overall chances of success this season/playoff hopes. Honestly though, I think the coach shouldn't give up on Abdullah just yet though. I mean, what other viable options do you have to run between the tackles?

inoccent - what are you're thoughts for your team moving forward next season? I dont have a really good read on this team right now. I feel like the last two seasons they have overachieved as there was really not enough talent on this team to have two winning seasons back to back. Stafford really proved how valuable he is by dragging this team along. It'll be interesting to see how Patrica builds the team going forward around Stafford. We need a running game terribly so I expect that to be a huge focus this offseason along with finding a pass rush that shows up every game.

Not really Lions related at all but it is football related.

inoccent- Looks like ya'll may have FINALLY found yourselves a RB for the future in Kerryon Johnson. I haven't actually got to watch him play yet, but he's been putting up some productive statistics. I've actually got him starting in one of my FF leagues this week.
