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..)

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
