gridiron whirlwinds 4 Posted November 20, 2009 After watching the game last night, there is now no doubt in my mind that Deangelo Williams is the 2nd best pure runner in the NFL....behind only Adrian Peterson. This guys has fantastic vision, he breaks tackles constantly, has a great spin move and balance. He is so smooth and patient getting to the line of scrimmage, then he just explodes thru the hole, or reverses the field. This guy gets 8 to 10 yard runs consistently, and when he does, I am left saying....wow...I thought that was a 4 yard run, but it was a 9 yard run. I know that Chris Johnson is a great runner, but he is mostly speed. Mojo is also a great runner, so he may be up there with Deangelo, but I must say...from what i have watched, and i watch alot of football....Deangelo is right close to the top and number 2 in my book.....this dude is the total package. Who agrees with me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TwentyFourSeven 23 Posted November 20, 2009 He's up there. I have to throw in Steven Jackson though. Awful team, great stats. DWill still has a pretty good line, SJax's line is awful. Those two are pretty darn close. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Those two are pretty darn close. Yes, he definietly is. I look forward to watching Deangelo every week like I looked forward to watching Barry Sanders and Walter Payton. The dude is so much fun to watch, as he leaves me with my mouth open and jaw down 4 or 5 times a game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoadLizard 73 Posted November 20, 2009 I love the guy. I just wish they would focking KILL Johnathan Stewart. He sucks. Fock him. Go away. Maybe his achilles will snap and end his career. YES!!!! Go D-Will! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kmbryant09 1 Posted November 20, 2009 I've had a chance to see a lot of these backs play a lot (minus S. Jackson), and this is how I'd rank them: A. Peterson D. Williams C. Johnson S. Jackson Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
closetbrownsfan 0 Posted November 20, 2009 I've had a chance to see a lot of these backs play a lot (minus S. Jackson), and this is how I'd rank them: A. Peterson D. Williams C. Johnson S. Jackson Agree 100% with the above. I'd stick MJD in there under SJax. Notice DWill is the only one losing substantial carries (to a good) but not in the same class backup.

yankmccobb 0 Posted November 20, 2009 too bad Jake D sucks and doesn't open it up more for him. . The sad reality is that he doesn't need a passing game to open it up......with that O-line and his talent they just need to give him the ball. Fox just can't see that his best player is D-Will, it's no longer Steve Smith. It's going to cost him his job. On a side note, anyone know the contract situations for Stewart and Williams? Be curious if one or both guys get out into free agency how they would do on a new team being the featured guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Moz 69 Posted November 20, 2009 IMO you got Dwill , AD , Sjax , CJIII , and MJD then everyone else. I must say I look forward to watching Dwill more than any other RB - he has that Barry feel to him.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I could not agree more......I make sure I watch him every week....I always download the Panthers game ON DEMAND with Direct TV....watch the whole game in 30 minutes. I usually end up rewinding and watching Deangelo on about 4-5 runs per game, that are pure sweetness. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reality 2,884 Posted November 20, 2009 Great between the tackles runner with home run speed. Not much else you can ask for in a great back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
