Ameer Abdullah blog: We believe in 'next man up'

Seeing extended playing time in our last game, I did OK. The Seahawks are one of the better defenses we’re going to see up front. They posed a great challenge. I liked how we played with energy. I felt like whichever back was in there, we fought hard.

Through four games, I feel like I’m playing faster. I’m getting better. The running game has not picked up so far, but you can see it on film we’re in the right spots. We’re identifying the right things before the play. We’re understanding why we’re running certain plays and you can see a lot of improvement.
