Deangelo Williams - Best Back in the NFL


Tank

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to say that. I feared him gashing us and before I could even get in my comfy recliner he is off and running. The dude is simply awesome. We can all agree and disagree on other parts of the game but one we can and should all agree on is this guy is the best RB in football...period end of discussion. He took a heck of a hit from Sharper on one of those gashes up the middle but never missed a beat. You guys are lucky to have him.

Yes, I agree. He is the best RB in football. Sadly, thats about all we have going for us right now. We have the worst QB in the league to go with the best RB. That combo wont win you a lot of games.

I wish we had an experienced Offensive Coordinator and a Head Coach who didn't rub his nuts on the offense and taint it.

D Will is awesome, no doubt. Top's in the league. I'm not sure where these fumbles are coming from this season though. He had almost 500 touches without a fumble and he has three or four this year. Still love the guy though.

Okay, so I have heard people mention the normal RBs when naming the top (D-Will, Johnson, Peterson, Jones-Drew) but am kinda curious why no one has mentioned Ray Rice? He is only second to Johnson in total yards from scrimmage... being in Baltimore, I watch some Raven's games and personally wish D-Will was used more like Rice (who has 40 receptions for over 450 yards and over 560 yards rushing)... any opinions/comments?

    • Per Adam Schefter: https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1920523706624823739 Expected, but just want to rub it in here.
    • I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.
    • The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
