I contended Deangelo is the 3rd best RB on the team

I'm really not so sure about that at this point. fozzy has run through a few tackles this preseason that Williams could not have gone through.

Fozzy just isn't as fast. Deangelo still has the ability to break a game wide open by running away from everyone. You saw it vs. the Jets and Saints last year. Deangelo had over 1100 yards from scrimmage last year, that's not terrible. But he faded late in the year which left a bad taste in everyone's mouths. I'd contend injuries to the line contributed.

I wouldn't say that D Will is the 3rd best RB on the team, in fact, I won't, he's either 1 or 2. D Will is our homerun threat. Stew and Tolbert (our FB) is better between the tackles. They need to be used to their advantage to maximize their production.

When was his last home run?

Play design.

Plus, I think people assume Williams is more explosive than he really is at this point

Again, we get back to play design. Which is Shula's problem. But, I'm not laying that all at his feet. Both Shula and DWill can go.

31 y/o RB + a scheme deadset on running through an OL with no push = what we see now from DWill.

 

He still could be one of the the most talented RBs in the game. But for what we do here, he just does not have the leverage over Stew and Tol.

SF, Sea, and Car all ran a lot of the same basic poo last year. It isn't sexy. Boring isn't always bad but you need the right bodies for it.

at 31 he isn't going to be one of the most talented in the game.

Take him out of our offense....at 31 he isn't one do the most physically talented at this point.

SF and Seattle both disguise what they're doing really well, with lots of motions and coverage moves, SF more so. Also, they have Frank Gore and Marshawn Lynch, which allows them to run ore efficiently.

I don't have notes in front of me and I define home run, by runs of 20 yards or more. It doesn't look promising right now, but D Will has been our horse while Stew has always been on the mend. D Will has been that production in the backfield, less fumbles and so forth. Can it be better, yes. But I haven't seen us do anything on the offensive line to cater to D Will's strengths. Yes Stew can gain more yards under the current oline and maybe so can Fozzy. But hard nose running, pounding gets you riding the bike on the sideline.

They have RBs more comparable to a healthy 28

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
