Reeves Maybin is a bit of a shock. Abdullah is not. Injuries aside..... I think he?s played his last down as a Lion.

Over/Under 10 snaps for Ziggy?

Over. I?m on the Ziggy has a 2+ sack day....finishes the game without a noticeable injury.....then gets put on IR Tuesday train.

It's a shame... Abdullah could have been really good. It started out so promising. His first NFL carry was a 20 yard TD scamper. A couple of ankle injuries and he just didn't seem to have that breakaway speed anymore.

He was a bad pick from the get go, had a fumbling problem in college and he continues to have a fumbling problem in the NFL who wudda thunk, sometimes those weaknesses out weigh a large portion of a positives list

WEAKNESSES

Fumbles are a big issue when evaluating Abdullah. He fumbled 13 times at Nebraska, and with a smaller frame, it’s a legitimate concern. That lack of size is another issue, and teams looking for an inside runner will not like Abdullah early in the draft. He’s a pure outside runner who may be best as a third-down back—but even there he’s a big question mark because of his lack of bulking ability. He gives up ground to pass-rushers and doesn’t have the strength to cut off blitzers.

Predictions?

I’ll go with 23-9 Minnesota

 

[mhughes0021]

2 wrs... we covered none

 

[mhughes0021]

Fuck you tabor

 

[kdp1980]

Tabor needs to be cut, pure trash, can't cover a practice squad player

 

[mhughes0021]

Fuck you robinson

 

[manchild98]

Looks like Stafford is going to have to have a fantastic day today.

 

[manchild98]

Why do we never seem to fall on those?

 

[mhughes0021]

Ya can we just lose the rest please.... fuck this team

 

[manchild98]

Looked like he was already in the end zone before the fumble...not that it matters. Either way 7-0.

 

[boogerlovejoy]

Seems like every fumble this year has bounced the opponents way. Unreal.

Shitty defense to start.

Shocking!

 

[cmlfactor]

Can't stop the run can't pressure the QB...bad combo...

 

[mhughes0021]

Most teams aren't even over mid field yet... we've already given up a td.
