Thoughts?!?!

Seems like a no brainer.

I agree, and I am glad its happening.

This is news?

He has shown that he can start and produce the last few games. He has shown Rivera he can trust him to start and stay motivated. Given he is going to be the featured back going forward, it is great that he ready to be the go to guy and needs no external motivation.

I wasnt sure if it had been posted yet.. Its not NEWS to us but to others it may be....

Glad it's 'official', but they better limit the amount of touches Williams takes from Stew.

(yawn)

Even Ron isn't that stupid. D-Lo shouldn't even steal carries away from Fozzy. I would rather see Fozzy as the change of pace back, along with a little of Toldozer. Just keep D-Lo away.

There's no way they'd have started Williams.  He might get a few carries to give Stewart a breather and keep the defense off-balance.  But if they'd started Williams that'd have to be one of the dumbest moves in the history of the NFL considering Stewart is killing it right now.

The bigger question is how many touches Williams takes away

[teeray]

Why are we obsessing so much over this?

I think Dwill is going to surprise a few of ya'll Saturday..........dude's gonna bust one.

Actual rushing attempts? I'd speculate any attempts Dlo gets are subtracted from Fozzy, and even there it would be hard to say. I'm sure that each RB has plays they are specifically suited for. Guess we'll see. If Dlo is successful when he gets a rush or pass, does it really matter?
