[QUOTE="PackFanInSC, post: 104346, member: 598"] Ahman's stats according to NFL.com [url=http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/12404]Ahman Green[/url] Interesting notes: Seattle traded Ahman here because of his "fumbling problems" because he had fumbled 3 times and lost 2 in 2 years (64 touches). I do not think that Ahman has been as terrible with the ball in his hands as everyone seems to think. I think everyone bought into the idea that he is a fumbler and it has stuck to him. In his career, Ahman has had 1984 touches and fumbled 36 times -- losing 23. That averages a fumble every 55 touches and losing one out of every 86 over his career. Last season, he had 96 touches and fumbled once - which the Packers recovered. Historically, Ahman is the man that you wanted to have the ball in his hands in the 4th Quarter because he has normally gotten a large portion of his yardage late in the game. Whether that is because the other teams are worn down by our formally impressive line or are playing subs or just because we were running out the clock, he has been the go-to guy. So far this season, he has 75 touches with 3 fumbles (losing 2). More than saying he is washed-up, I would say to give him some time. He only had a couple of weeks of training camp so this is really only his 4th or 5th game back so he may be experiencing a little rust -- plus learning a new blocking system and having a practically new line learning it with him. Give him till mid-season and see if his numbers are more in line with his career stats. [/QUOTE]
