i don't follow the NFL that much, did he get over his fumbling problems? it seems like an issue a lot of rookies have, they just aren't used to the level of play so they are used to their bad habits from college. in the pros everyone tries to yank out the ball, just one of those things where maybe you don't quite fight as hard for the extra few inches when you know you are getting tackled and also always keep two hands on the ball.

He dropped in a few times early in the year... Then picked it up the last half.... I see 1,000 yard rusher next year

Jim Caldwell expects big season from Ameer Abdullah

 

[Brasky]

Yeah the fumbling... If he doesn't fix it this year he'll be traded or worse..

3 worst offenders at RB for fumbling in 2015:

Adrian Peterson: 6 fumbles on 327 touches 1.83% fumble rate
Melvin Gordon: 5 fumbles on 184 touches 2.72% fumble rate
Ameer Abdullah: 4 fumbles on 143 touches 2.80% fumble rate

AP's always had fumble problems, but he's fucking AP.

Nothing gets you booted from the league faster. He cost them games last year.

Cardinals had Ameer Abdullah on the phone when Lions picked him

Cardinals would have been a much better situation for him too. a team more dedicated to the run. i watched a few Lions game last year, and i swear they only ran the ball because they thought they needed to keep the defense honest and their o-line was not good at blocking it. Cardinals ran for nearly 2k in yards, plus Palmer threw for 4700. the Lions ran for 1300 and only had 4400 passing. pretty easy to tell who had a better year.
