Is Arian Foster What Deangelo Williams Would Be If He Had More Carries?

You made the thread title and then explained why they are different in your post so there's not much for me to do here.....

I said one was more powerful while the other is faster, not really a change in running styles.

Foster seems the more complete back when it comes to catching the ball and screens. We have seen what DWill is capable of when he is given a lot of carries. He is one of the best. Was one of the best. Either way, he is one hell of a running back.

I watch both of these guys plays and I see a lot of similarities, DWill is faster and Foster is more physical, but I see a very close resemblance in running style and vision. Could DWill have that kind of production with as many carries as Foster has?

Simply, no. Foster is a better all-around back.

Don't be a dick.

I took it as light humor.

Very different backs. Dwill is smaller, more fluent and avoids contact. I think dwills talents are more desirable and harder to find. Maybe I am a homer but they are both good backs. If Dwill wanted to go to a team where he was featured, he would have and if stewy wants to he will. People should get over it.

    • This play was never designed to go to either DJ or Odunze. The primary read is Burden who is stymied early, with the outlet being Kmet if Caleb doesn't like the option for Burden. Given the situation it's pretty obvious the simple play is to take the free yards with Kmet, or if you want to be aggressive just wait a beat longer for Burden to uncover on his double move. If Moore was ever going to be a viable target in this play then Caleb should have started out reading Odunze to hold the safety in the middle and then coming to Moore, but because he started the snap staring down the right and then came back to the middle late it made it where the safety's leverage remained to the outside of Moore, so he would never have imagined that pass actually being thrown to him in that situation. Realistically DJ's best option in that context is to just occupy the safety to leave a hole open for Caleb to get it to Burden, which is probably why he throttles down vs carrying the safety across.
    • Even with Sonny Styles still on the board I thought it's a no brainer to address the Oline after Icky's injury.  And how can you pass up Fano at 19 given our situation. Then the rest of the draft just kind of made sense with maybe the exception of Klubnik.  But if Canales can fix him and Young goes down. . .I think it's a solid pick. What do you think of this draft?
    • When we didn't trade him to the Rams or the Bears (I believe the Bears said they would take one of Brown/ Burns/DJ Moore) we should have just signed him and kept him.  We should have traded him to the Rams obviously and we should have kept DJ and traded Burns.  We made all three wrong choices with Burns lol.
