D-will had more yards against the Pats last night (127) than our starters had combined in our dress rehearsal against the Pats in the first half (116)

He has also lost 15 pounds, and is fresh--his age won't catch up to him for a few games.  Let's see how the comparisons go later in the season.

This. 

 

He took his conditioning seriously for the first time in several years apparently. Amazing what not having a fat contract that makes it more expensive to release you than keep you does for motivation.

Williams lost a ton of weight and all offseason was focused on making in through 2 games to "show everyone".

no different than the Steve Smith rage window last season.  Then Steve was back to being the guy we cut.

Good for him having a good night.  You don't get that guy if he is still here nor should anyone want to be paying that money to him

who cares

[Jeremy Igo]

For years many of us had been pointing out that Deangelo lost a step, no longer had burst, and could not hit the hole or get to the edge like he needed to. 

 

Now we know why, thats all. 

[Khyber53]

He's a good running back, he was for us and he proved he's still got some gas in his tank. It wasn't going to work out here for him -- the paycheck was too large, the carries were split and Cam was always the better option in most called plays. We also had a lousy offensive line for the last few years and a terrible play action passing game.

I'm glad to see him having some success and he had some stellar years with us. I think he lost focus badly last year after his Mom died and it affected him as a player and a teammate. We needed to move on and he needed to prove it to himself that he could still play. It's working out for him and I hope it works out for us.

He said some bad things on his way out the door, but look kindly on him for all of the years he did so well for us.

[Steves89]

Did I read this right? He had more yards in 4 quarters than we had in 2 quarters? Why should we care? Isn't that to be expected?

[Anybodyhome]

Ah, yes, the Carolina fan base once again their butt hurt on full display. DeAngelo Williams signed a 2-year, $4M deal with the Steelers knowing full well he'd be starting the first 2 weeks due to Bell's suspension. He also knows this league doesn't care about running backs once they turn 30. The guy wants to play a couple more years, why begrudge him of that?

Rather than wish the guy well, actually want to see him extend his career and watch him have a good game against a pretty pedestrian run defense, Panther fans want to lay it at William's feet that Marty Hurney gave him stupid money- as if he was going to turn it down.   

[PoundCat]

I'm not sure what the point of this stat is. Why compare his full game stats to our team's halftime stats?

[TbTeRRoR]

I'm confused.... OP hating on Shula?  Congratulating Shula? Williams? what?   Every reply so far except for a couple have taking the hate on Williams route......looks like our run game was better and .......what?

I don't know if I even agree about Williams not being motivated with us, but I certainly disagree about Smith. Steve Smith has always been one of the most highly motivated players in the league. He would have been motivated to outdo his opponent every play (including in practice) as a Panther. And he had a very good season last year.

Want to play this game?  Gronk had as many touchdowns as the Panthers did in the first half of evey preseason game combined.

this ain't a d-will love thread people! this is a shula hate thread.
