Opposing Gameplans Will Stop D-Lo? I don't think so...

[Carolina Crazy V2]

I'm truly tired of hearing many people coming on the forums and saying how Deangelo will have an off year because all teams will be gameplanning to stop him. This is a stupid statement because he showed that even when all eyes were on him, he couldn't be stopped.

After the Tampa Bay, MNF game, there was just as much attention on Deangelo Williams as ever. Surely he would be held to few yards the rest of the season, correct? No, completely wrong. Here are his stats before and after the Bucs game.

Before:

12 Games

79.6 YDs per game

4.95 AVG

1.1 TDs per game

Opp. Rush Def. Rank - 21.3

After:

3 Games

124.7 YDs per game*

6.13 AVG*

1.7 TDs per game*

Opp. Rush Def. Rank - 17.7*

* = Improved

Conclusion - So although the avg. rush defense Deangelo played was better over the last 3 games, he was more successful. I am sure that if teams will be keying on him this year, they must have keyed on him towards the end of last year.

He averaged more yards per carry, per game and more touchdowns per game. This should prove to all of you that Deangelo is only improving and defense WILL NOT be able to catch up to him.

It's D-Will, get it right!

:dita: I was just trying to make the title shorter. They both sound good to me, but D-Lo rolls of the tongue a little better.

If you're referring to a comment I made in the other thread, I was merely stating that teams would gameplan more against him -- not that they would necessarily succeed in that gameplan.

I think DeAngelo will just continue to improve.

Yeah, I wasn't aiming this thread at you or any specific person, but I was aiming at a broad range of people.

the Panthers can gameplan all they want to againest Westbrook. Thing is running backs like Westbrook and D-Will are gonna get their yards, big plays regaurdless. Therefore D-Will is gonna have a monster year (roughly same as last season)

Steve Smith sat on the roster for two years before having his breakout success.

Season Team G Rec Yds Y/G Avg Lng YAC 1stD TD

2001-02 Carolina 15 10 154 10.3 15.4 33 7.1 8 0

2002-03 Carolina 15 54 872 58.1 16.1 69 6.7 33 3

2003-04 Carolina 16 88 1110 69.4 12.6 67 6.3 48 7

Completely ignoring the following year because he was injured and I am not about to make that comparison, every year following his breakout success has been a 1000+ yard season.

Gameplans don't shut down elite players, they just make them look more spectacular.

D-Will and the O-Line is our only shot at a winning season this year.
