D-Will has looked great tonight. A lot of people thought he was done when he left Carolina. He sure proved his critics wrong. I wish we had a rushing attack as effective as the Steelers have had tonight without having to rely on Cam to run the ball so much. He wouldn't have to take such a pounding every game and it would open up the passing game.

He wasn't like that here. He'd become a lazy malcontent, largely because the new staff actually expected him to work hard while the old one was willing to pay him big money just to coast. That's why he was let go.

Any idea that he'd be the same back if we'd hung on to him is off base.

Another touchdown. He'll end the day with 26 carries for 143 yards and 2 TDs, plus 6 catches for 28 yards. As it stands, that would be the sixth-best rushing performance by a player 33 or older and most total offensive yardage/yards from scrimmage from a back over 33, ever.

Too bad all those stats can't save someone from being an asshole.

    • Entering year three, and there are reasons I would look into this more before offering a fourth or fifth. He was drafted in round 2 in 2023.  His rookie season, he played 14 games and was targeted 40 times.  Targeted 3 times a game, basically.  He caught 27 (67.5%).  A TE target/catch percentage should be higher than a WR--70-75% is considered good.  In 11 games this season, he was targeted 32 times and caught 21.  Again, about 3 targets per game, with a target catch percentage of 66%. They decided to draft a TE after his rookie season. This means they did not see him as a #1 TE. He has not been very healthy (9 missed games in 2 seasons--26%). Could he be better with a better QB?  Probably.  Having said all that, he is an excellent blocking TE.  I would trade a 6th for him, but only if I knew Thomas and Tremble were not coming back.  
    • 4th, 5th or later for him all day. Get it done ASAP.
    • the personal problems is something that would have to be checked out, but I'd do it.  That's how we got Greg Olsen.  He was a first round pick and we traded a 3rd for him a couple of years later.  He became our best TE ever
