Fox says: DeAngelo most improved player

[DawgzLife]

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 2 TDs last year. He has 20 this year. How was Fox lying?

[DawgzLife]

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.
