Lions Rushing leaders

[Rollingthndr]

I am interested in seeing who you guys think will lead the Lions in rushing this year.

AA is listed as the unquestioned starter but this is easily one of the least talented groups on the roster. AA could fumble his way out of the job.

Theo is what he is. A pass catching specialist the Lions ask to run between the tackles here and there. His career 3.5 YPA is a clear indicator of that. However, if AA starts fumbling. Caldwell could easily just trust Theo more and give him more carries.

ZZ seems to be a little bit better of a runner than Riddick and may get a bulk of carries if AA starts to fumble his way from the starter position as well. Seems to be a bit of a darkhorse now but it all but locked into a roster spot as the #3 RB.

Asiata, Mike James and Dwayne Washington seem to be roster bubble players.

Adrian Peterson had 20 fumbles in his first 3 seasons and he kept his job. Plus, we know Ameer Abdullah will be a much better running back than Adrian Peterson. So in the end, it should all work out.

(I did see a pig fly over my house.)

Stafford. Dude will be running for his life. I think every pass play we should roll right.

Hopefully Asiata or Zenner.

Riddick isn't a RB and Abdullah will lose games.
