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.

      One man’s trash…

      I thought he was from watching him play and also doing his first HC job. I thought he was the real deal  Apparently what happened is Kraft committed to Mayo and I don’t remember the timeline exactly - but Vrabel was unemployed at the same time Belichick was unemployed. They both were fired after the 2023 season.  Kraft hired Mayo. Who was kind of an obvious disaster. He probably already had the deal in place but I will give Kraft credit for not sleeping. With Vrabel out there for 2025 he made the move he needed to make and if it hurt Mayo’s feelings then oh well.  I guess you can tell I am not fond of Kraft but that was a really savvy move. At his age, pretty good. Still has it.

      Bills predictions

      By X-Clown · Posted

      It’s going to feel like a home game for the bills. There are so many of their fans that live down here now, and many of them have never seen Allen play in person since their last visit was 8 years ago. It didn’t matter for the cowboys game, but it might here. I think we likely lose a close one. Probably a questionable flag or two that doesn’t go our way. X factor for Buffalo will be Kincaid and Knox. If we do win it’s because we get ahead and play keep away from Allen. FYI- I have many friends who are Bills fans that are fed up with Beane who we all revere and think is the one that got away. They feel like he was great to land Josh but has done a terrible job of building around him (especially at WR) and rely on him to become super man to win- sounds kind of familiar, like the last time we had a franchise QB.
