Going to be interesting to see how the Lions RB position shakes out.
I'm starting to think we should use, and have used, Theo Riddick as a Slot Reciever. Don't even use him out of the backfield just have him as a Julian Edelman type Slot receiver who can run quick curl routes and make plays in the open field.
They're both almost exactly the same size and Riddick has sure hands.
Then you have Ameer Abdullah who will be our Kick Returner and probably get 10-15 carries a game. He finished the season at over 4 Yards per carry.
We need a power back and Zach Zenner showed a lot of promise last year but got hurt early and is still unproven.
Theo Riddick should not even be used in the backfield anymore IMO. Just use him in the slot Julian Edelman style and watch him burn LBs. That's pretty much what Jim Bob Cooter did when he took over anyway.
Ameer Abdullah will get his 10-15 carries a game and is a potential home run hitter on any play.
That leaves the lack of "Power Back." We have to get some sort of running game but I could see us moving more towards a New England style offense.
