B10 kid, so it's sort of relevant. Some media is already comparing him to Barry Sanders. Was wondering if anyone saw him last Thursday night and what your thoughts are.

Didn't see any of game. But my reaction to Abdullah's performance is the same of Mike Valenti (which I rarely ever agree with) its a pre-season game, don't over react.

As a life long suffering Lions fan, I would love nothing better than to see the next Barry Sanders. I'll hold judgement until after road trips to San Diego, Minnesota and Seattle weeks 1,2 & 4 & a home game vs Denver in week 3. If we fans see signs of brilliance then I'll get excited.

He has been tearing it up all camp, and got off to a really fast start against the Jets. As long as he stays healthy I think he will be an impact rookie. The OL looked MUCH better.

Now the defense will suck again, it will be up to Stafford to carry the team. With most people turning their attention to the Vikings, I think Detroit can sneak up on some teams this year.
