Davis really gave us that "keep pounding" mantra in that we just wore down teams that year and foster was a wonderful compliment. Watching him make plays in 03 was magical.

Davis/Foster got us to the superbowl so I guess I'd have to go with them.

Double Trouble is far more talented and fun to watch but right now it's just a tragedy since they're on such a crappy team.

I feel bad for some of the fans that came in at the tail end of Deshaun's run here, that guy was truly an amazing change of pace back. Him and Davis were an absolute force to be reckoned with in '03. I remember when Fos came in against the Colts and absolutely took over that game that year.

no mention of foster/williams?

I'll mention them in the fact that the coaching staff just let DeShaun Foster flop around like a fish out of water while holding Williams back...

I love Foster/Davis in '03 but overall Stewart and Williams really dominated games.

I would. Foster is a much better running back on 3rd downs and when used in a passing offense.

It's true that Foster only started struggling once Fox tried to make him a power back (something D'lo would've been more suited for anyways ironically enough) but Davis in his prime was a monster, he'd run over absolutely anybody. He even did it here. He had so many long runs here because as soon as he got past the DL, there were very few LB's, S's, and CB's who could tackle him 1 on 1. He may not have had breakaway speed once he got there, but in a way I think that benefited us, because with him constantly breaking away for 30 and 40 yard runs, instead of 70 and for a TD, it allowed us to keep possession of the ball and control the clock which we like to do oh so much.

We never really got to see what Foster was capable of. Injuries destroyed him. Plus, didn't tear his ACL or something like that his rookie year?

I think that's what happened, but the best memory of Foster his rookie year was him taking his first career touch for a long rushing TD (although it was preseason..)

      Disturbing

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Eric Collins Calling First NFL Game (ours)

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
