Detroit Lions RB Ameer Abdullah reiterated Wednesday, Aug. 31, that he expects to be the team’s every-down back this season, which would mean working in the base three-receiver set and on third downs, as well as in goal-line packages, too. However, head coach Jim Caldwell said Tuesday, Aug. 30, he does not plan to change from his running-back-by-committee approach. ‘I think you have to spread it out a little bit,’ Caldwell said. ‘Backs take a lot of hits in the ball game, and so I don’t anticipate (we have) that kind of a guy that gets 30 carries in a ball game. I don’t perceive that. Even though maybe it could happen, it wouldn’t happen very often.’
