lions offensive line is struggling
but Abdullah wants the ball
go with what you like.
Ameer Abdullah didn't mince words this week when he got the chance to offer suggestions on how to improve the Detroit Lions' running game when it reaches the red zone.
"Call more of them," he told reporters.
The Lions' starting running back took a "Why not?" approach when asked if he could be the man carrying the rock. He does, after all, have one of the team's two rushing touchdowns, his a nifty and creative job of working around tacklers in the backfield to find the end zone against the Minnesota Vikings.
"We're good at what we do," Abdullah said. "Once we kind of hone in on that, that's when we become a good team."
It was an indirect but pretty clear call on the Lions coaching staff to alter an approach that has been widely criticized from the outside since it produced an 0-for-5 mark in the red zone in Sunday's 20-15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Lions' third defeat in a row. That's when Detroit gave four carries inside the 10-yard-line to Dwayne Washington, a second-year running back who converted from wide receiver in college and was playing his first game in more than a month, and none of those runs could find the end zone.

21 carries and a TD...on the surface looks like a strong game for overs on props, but 2.59 yards per play... Abdullah may have gotten the most touches he'll get all season, but couldn't crack his o/u totals in rush yds and rec yds... just a note for future weeks. IE, we should discuss props in future weeks...trade notes.
