The Lions don't run enough to even support a running back with a three down role much less a guy in the lesser half of a timeshare.

Lions haven't run enough because they haven't had a RB good enough to do so. ALL teams want to run the football and shove it down the other team's throat. Link to post Share on other sites

mikeflavaz 679 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Yahoo just screwed me. I should have picked him up though. According to Yahoo, Abdullah on IR, yet no info any where else. Link to post Share on other sites

Well by that logic they would have been running a lot with Washington already seeing as they've had him all of training camp and preseason and would know how 'good' he is.

Castavar 440 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 (edited) The best part about Washington's game is that even at his size, he is a BEAST receiver, so game script is not a problem for him and Lions are going to throw a TON. Not to mention he seems to be the goalline back as well. Now it's just a matter about getting touches. Theo can't be on the field all the time. I've seen a lot of people compare him to David Johnson, and WOW the similarities are uncanny. Edited September 21, 2016 by Castavar Link to post Share on other sites

dabeesta17 2,509 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 He's Spencer Ware insurance just in case; but can't start him until we see at least one game and how he'll be used. Link to post Share on other sites

frog34 982 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I'm all in on this cat. As much as I love Riddick, he is strictly a pass catching specialist. More H-Back than true RB. Washington can catch too, but he can pound it as well. A dependable rushing threat is what the Lions are missing on offense. I think Dwayne gets the majority of carries going forward, including goalline, while Riddick's role stays the same. Link to post Share on other sites
sspiv 38 Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I believe Riddick will be involved but D-Wash will be the Muscle getting the bulk of carries and goal line looks. Riddick will be $ in PPR leages, but I believe D-Wash will be $ also. Link to post Share on other sites
