I can see why he is so beloved in Memphis

I said in the preseason all I wanted was for him to get a shot to show what he could do. He got that shot and he certainly made the most of it. I couldn't be happier for him. I just love the one/two punch the Panthers have going on right now!!

i'll be honest...after his first two years i thought he was majorly over rated. i'm glad that i can say i was wrong...WAY wrong on this cat. i swear he reminds me a lot of barry sanders. i think barry was the best running back BY FAR to ever play so that's high praise. he's showing phenomenal vision, speed, shiftiness, acceleration, stiff arms, power...i could go on and on.

dwill is the poo

For some reason our coaching staff doesn't believe he is. He barely got any touches through the second half...

I noticed Stewart was getting more carries in the second half. Williams just looked like the better runner today overall and I wanted to see him carrying the ball more. Exept for that one play, I dont think Stewart was getting the yards like Williams was. I hope in the playoffs when Williams is running like that, they just keep giving him the ball.

Here is the deal, right now he is the best back in the league, but he's made a lot of improvements since last year. He's more assertive in hitting the hole, when last year he would pull up and be taken down for little or no gain. On long runs he's finishing where he might have slowed down in the past. He still needs to improve his open field running but that's a minor gripe in the grand scheme of things. That's not to say you were wrong in your convictions AK, most of us knew his potential but were unsure of him being able to put it all together.

Agreed . . . I like Stewart, but D.Will should have been in a lot more. I wonder if Foxy is getting stubborn about which back "should" be the starter.

I think it was more about getting Stew involved in the game and resting Dwill. He got his 1500. No sense in banging him up. But it did put the game in jeopardy a little bit.

dwill is the sh*t

Yup, judging a guy when they don't have enough chance to show what they're capable of.

Yep and thankfully we have him along with our best WR in team history at the same time. Those are two dynamic game-changers or homerun hitters. Throw Stew in as well and we are beginning to witness first-hand the change of the NFL how teams are shifting to the "new" dominating backfields. If we can make a good showing this post season and be a contender next year, the draft will have been a huge success on a medium risk gamble.

c'mon man, cut some slack. i'm admitting i was wrong (gladly wrong, however).

dwill had quite a few opportunities to show what he was capable of but didn't start taking advantage of all of that until Vinny had a good talking to him. he's now living up to his potential and we get to enjoy the excitement.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
