Ahman Green

Its hard to say AA had a well oiled machine to run behind. Lets not forget AG had a stellar pro career too.
If he had stayed for his senior year just think what he could have done.... I wonder if he thinks about that?
Ameer Abdullah's running style wouldn't have earned him a start with Ahman Green's OL. Abdullah actually missed big opportunities to score with his style, because he spent too many plays using his wiggle. Ahman Green was exceptional because he attacked the gaps in each layer of defense rather than trying to juke everybody. Abdullah had some brilliant runs, but Ahman had way more significant big plays. Ahman was good for regular 8-9 gains play after play by exploiting his speed and weaknesses in defensive flow. And when he saw a pattern unfold he often made one missed assignment turn into six points. Ahman was going to get his yards, but if you got sloppy he was going to pound points. Abdullah wasn't that type of running back and passed up opportunities for smaller gains to set up big plays. For all the cuteness of making a guy miss him, overall it limited his opportunities to score. And Ameer liked to struggle when he was being gang tackled. That caused unnecessary turnovers. So as much fun as he was to watch for his fans, his failures amplified losses and cost us opportunities in big games. That's the difference between good and great in my book. The great ones carry the team to championships. Great teams win them.
Just so much baloney a guy can read without responding. Too much selective memory in your post. I thought AG was fabulous but he had a HUGE fumbling problem his whole career. And while I don't think AA was as good as AG (or a few other NU RB's), he HAD TO USE HIS "WIGGLE" just to find the holes.

Green, the NFC's leading rusher, is having a record-breaking season for the Packers.
Still, he hasn't been able to shake his reputation as a fumbler.
Seattle Coach Mike Holmgren traded him to the Packers after Green had fumbled once as a rookie in 1998 and twice in 1999. Green then became the Packers' main ballcarrier in 2000 and fumbled six times. The next season, Green fumbled five times and last season, six times.
In 12 games this season, Green has had seven fumbles, including five lost. And like Lewis', Green's drops have hurt his team.
In the Packers' 40-34 loss to Kansas City in October, Green fumbled one play after Green Bay had blocked a potential winning field goal attempt in overtime. On the next play, Kansas City got the winning touchdown on a 51-yard pass play from Trent Green to Eddie Kennison.
Green lost two fumbles in the Packers' 17-14 loss to Philadelphia in early November. He rushed for a career-high 192 yards and scored two touchdowns, but his fourth-quarter fumble cost the Packers a victory.
In 58 games with the Packers, Green has fumbled 22 times, opponents recovering 16 of them.
According to Stats Inc., Green has fumbled 25 times since he came into the NFL in 1998. That ranks him fourth among running backs from 1998 to the present, behind Barber (39 fumbles), Williams (32) and George (26).

He had fumble issues at NU as well...you just don't remember because we were crushing everyone anyway...plus it was a long time ago. AA cleaned his up before he left college, AG never really did.
Watch this sickening video from the 2:00 mark tp the 3:00 minute mark:

Go back and read almost all of your posts, then, you can really start to "shakes head" because, well, the rest of us know why.
Awkward timing but he was arrested today for child abuse

Heard that on the radio just now.
For the child's sake I hope it was not a serious offense.

No details yet, but really... any form of child abuse is a serious offense.

Agree 100%.
In defense of that portion of my post, I had edited out part of my original post in which I made reference to the fact that even spanking a child or grabbing a teen by the arm can result in a charge of "child abuse" if any small amount of red mark results and they call the police, but I didn't want to open Pandora's box.
Not necessarily. Technically a spanking is abuse in many states. Not quite the same as beating a kid into a coma. Let's wait and see what the actual evidence is.
Looks like his teenage daughter drove him over the edge
Looks bad for Ahman. And there is truly no defending anyone who admits to doing what he did. He should be punished harshly.
