The Offense: The Running Game

Ameer Abdullah

Reggie Bush has departed after being cut with two years left on his deal after being injury prone and ineffective. Joique Bell hasn’t played a snap in the preseason and has had off-season surgeries two years in a row. The Lions now have invested a second round pick on Nebraska running back Ameer Abdullah to help solve the running game that lets be frank, has to be better.

Matthew Stafford can zing it around the yard, but the Lions cannot rely on him to win games by himself. He just isn’t that type of quarterback, despite our hopes for him to be.
