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.

      Okay. I mean we are just discussing.  I never saw Tua as being really a valid guy in tne league. But I am prejudiced against Alabama QBs because of their basic mediocre track records stepping up to the NFL so zi was probably predisposed and biased. But still correct. FWIW Bryce was such a physical outliee Bama didn’t really enter my thinking. It never became a factor for me.  Anyhow Murray was kind of a toy, by my standards and not a guy I would have been excited by. Then it got to the contract clause of mandating film study and the game was lost right there. Why would you pay a guy you thought needed the stick instead of the carrot?  I am just a tools first guy, for gaining admittance to move into the more thorough evaluation phase. It won’t change.  I just have always been you have to meet the threshold physically before we consider your other areas of potential as a pro.  Which I believe Jones passed that threshold. And has shown some flashes.  Sure is doing it this year.  The contention about what how pressure of a big contract might affect his performance, how the roster might lose a player or two two due to his salary precluding paying them, that is something else. If he continues to compete at this level like he is so far, I would put money on someone paying him though. And we will see what happens.

      Well let's be honest here. The Jets was probably the absolute worst place for Fields to go and try and resurrect his career. Sure they have solid offensive players but that place is known for being QB Purgatory. Same with us and the Raiders.
