Ameer Abdullah?

[Joey007]

Just cut by Detroit. Could be an upgrade over Barner for depth.

Amber Alert!

Worth a look potentially, but at best he's a very poor man's James White.

Not really what we need right now but could be a better use of a spot than Barner (that sweet block he made notwithstanding).

 

[PatsFan2]

Seems like Patricia didn't like him much...Inactive Coaches decision. Would he be an upgrade over the Burkmeister?? Things that make you go Hmmmmm.

history of being a fumbler, IIRC.

 

[Wheelman]

no

 

[PatsFan2]

Have to wonder if the Patriots scouted him three Drafts back. One things for sure Abdullah is healthy and not much wear on his tires. Also Super Receiving RB Theo Riddick is coming back for the Lions so that made Abdullah expandable.

Ameer’s sister (or wife)?

 

[FreeTedWilliams]

Coming out of Nebraska, I thought he would have been a great replacement for Vereen. I don't know if Detroit used him in that role.

He is 1000% better than Barner, I would put in a claim for him.

Zach Zenner back in the mix.
That is why Ameer had to be Ambered.
Lions bring Zach Zenner back

I’d rather have Barner, a guy fighting to have a job in the NFL than Abdullah, a guy trying as hard as he can to piss away a career.

I hate autocorrect so much

Zenner is the guy I would have preferred.

The Lions run-blocking hasn't been close to what the Pats can provide, so I'd think he'd be more productive with the Pats. He's likely to be a legit receiver out of the backfield,too.

OTOH, he had the highest fumble rate coming out of college that I can remember, and has only marginally improved on that in the NFL. I also have no idea if he can pass-protect even a little.

And now my post makes no sense. Thanks a ****load, mods!

That was me. But fair is fair.

I changed it back for you.

 

[RelocatedPatFan]

I was very curious what I would get when I was in here.

I must say, I feel kinda disappointed as I was expecting something else...

I was kidding, but damn, you're a good sport.

This hurts as he’s a former husker but unfortunately he’s been a bust. Part of it due to injuries/taking care of the football; part of it was also getting drafted by the lions. Ever since Barry retired they have been to rbs what the jets are to QBs.
