Fox says: DeAngelo most improved player

They announced during the Saints game that John Fox said DeAngelo Williams is the most improved player this year (presumably, in the NFL).

That actually ticks me off, b/c many of us knew & were vocal about Fox not playing the better running back (between Foster & Williams). Fox choose to stick with Foster.

Williams had a 5 yard rushing average last year & 23 receptions, more than he has this year. Foster had a 3.5 average. Williams was playing great last year as well. How do you call that most improved?! Wel,, it covers Fox's butt from not playing WIlliams more last year, IMO.

I don't want to hear about how DeAngelo recommitted himself this year. He may have, but he played outstanding last year & should have played more.

Ok, done with my rant. I just do not like Fox being the one to say that, since it sounds very self-serving to me.

What does everyone think?

Williams had 144 attempts last year for 5 yards per carry......248 carries this year for 5.4 ypc

Foster had 247 attempts last year (similar to what deangelo has this year). Foster had a 3.5 ypc avg.

How is that difficult to understand?! Fox didn't give Williams the carries last year. That is the difference. Secondly, I did not say he 'lied', as you claim I did; Self-serving is not the same as lying.

I laid out the case & could support my contention if you have questions. Just don't add something that was not stated into the discussion.

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.
