Williams was also part of a franchise-record effort, as he ran for a career-high 186 yards and two touchdowns in a 38-23 win over Tampa Bay on “Monday Night Football.” Williams and rookie Jonathan Stewart combined to run for a franchise-best 299 yards against the league’s No. 2 ranked run defense.

...when I said the same thing 8 or so weeks ago. Funny that now, people...not everyone...just a few...are starting to say the same thing.

When I compared him to Adrian Peterson, everyone laughed and said he had not proven that yet.

...and to some degree, they were right. But after having seen DeAngelo play in college, I knew exactly what they didn't. That he is AT LEAST the best running back in the league.

....and....zero fumbles...

I never doubted him. The time/situation just wasn't right before. Now, everything is as it should be for his running game to work for him. Look at all the crazy records he broke in college. He just HAD to get bigger and get into rhythm. When you add another guy who can be successful on downs as well (not Foster) then you can rest your other guy between plays, thus they stay somewhat fresh through the game. But we all knew that already didn't we (referring to those starting RBs threads of yore)?

You got that right. Fox should have made him the starter in the middle of the '06 season when Foster started to struggle. But anyway, glad he is getting the work he deserve. :)

    • Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.
    • They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it. 
    • Except it wouldn't be Rodgers leading them on a postseason run, it would be the defense and he's there to not screw up their great games. Which is why..... This times a million. I didn't watch a ton of the Jets last year, but from what I did see, Rodgers himself didn't look like a bum, the team just struggled and was more than likely due to poor coaching on the whole.  The Steelers don't need MVP level Rodgers to win games, they just need him to be good enough to make some plays when it matters because the defense is keeping them in games every week regardless. In their 7 losses last season, the Steelers scored 10, 13, 17, 17, 17, 19, and 24... while giving up 19, 20, 24, 27, 27, 29, and 34 in those games.  With only marginally better offense last year, they probably end up winning a few more games too. They only scored over 27 points in 3 games last season. I think this is a great move by the Steelers and if Rodgers can stay healthy all year, will get them back into the playoffs and could make some noise if their defense is up to the normal level of a Steelers defense.
