Person speculates on the RB situation

DeAngelo Williams can take the ball and run with it

 

 

Carolina Panthers running back DeAngelo Williams spent the past two seasons looking for more carries.

 

Williams should get them this year.

 

 

 

Williams became an expensive complementary piece in two seasons with former offensive coordinator Rob Chudzinski, now the coach in Cleveland. He was benched last season before Stewart was hurt, and watched Cam Newton become the first quarterback to lead his team in rushing since Donovan McNabb in 2000.

 

But Williams will get the bulk of the work with Stewart out. In an exhibition loss to Philadelphia two weeks ago, Williams had 12 first-half carries for 39 yards before sitting out the second half.

 

Person seems to believe we'll see the Panthers use Williams more like a "feature back" with Stewart out.

 

Agree of disagree with Person's take?

 

Agree or disagree with the idea?

We have no choice but to give him more carries...

But I don't see how he suddenly is going to look like a different RB than he did in 2012 and 2011. He just doesn't fit what we do as well as I would like....have to put to put up with a lot of non impressive stuff to get that occaasional big run.

I hope Tolbert gets a bigger role...almost what we would have given Stewart

he is built for more of a traditional offense, or thats how it seems he was more effective(08 and 09).  we dont have a traditional offense QB and it has shown this preseason, or at least how I see it.  Person is a tool and what he just said was already said a couple months ago, not thread worthy.

In 2011, he had only 155 carries, but for 836 yards (5.4ypc) and 7 TDs. Don't see why he can't replicate that type of performance...I'm sure his ypc will go down just by increasing his carry count, but I don't see why he can't average at least 4.0 ypc (his lowest ever ypc average was last year, and even then it was 4.1).

 

I think if D-Will gets at least 250 carries this year, he will be a 1,000 yd back again...

Would like to see Tolbert get more carries this year.  He has experience carrying the load and is the only proven power runner now that Stewart is is out for awhile.  With the Panthers porous O-Line, getting a power back in there to tire out the defense early in the game could open holes for the shiftier backs like Williams and Barner.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
