Shockey fan 0 Posted May 12, 2006 I predict A LOT of fumbles in the NFL if he doesn't learn quickly. In that highlight reel he runs with the ball in his right hand 90% of the time. You learn to move the ball to the outside hand after you break through the line so a LB doesn't knock it out. When he runs left, the ball is in the right hand (inside hand) which is EASY pickings for the likes of any decent NFL LB. Don't believe me, just watch! Actually many RB's carry the ball int he wrong hand - this is more of a myth and in a perfect world they would prefer the ball on the outside arm - but let's know this is not high school ball. RB success of running with the ball in either hand does not change once they get to the NFL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
big dog 0 Posted May 12, 2006 For what it's worth... Marshall Faulk only carries the ball in his left hand... and he never had much of a fumbling issue. For what it's worth Ahman Green doesn't switch and he doesn't fumble. http://football.about.com/cs/nfldraft/a/bl...spevalua4_2.htm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Raider 84 29 Posted May 12, 2006 DeAngelo has a great chance at ROY honors. Foster out week 4 is my prediction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LOD01 198 Posted May 12, 2006 Williams wasn't healthy for one full season in college. What makes you think he will be able to stay healthy in the pros? He'll be rushing against Tampa and Atlanta 4 times each year. They are a tad better than UTEP. I do like Williams, but is going to be healthy throughout a full season? The jury is out on this one. LMAO. You clueless dolt.

Played in every game in 2004 (broken leg in last game). Missed 1 game in 2005 where he was held out. He could have played. missed 1 game in 2003. I would say missing 2 games with over 900 carries is DURABLE!!!!!!!!!!! I predict A LOT of fumbles in the NFL if he doesn't learn quickly. In that highlight reel he runs with the ball in his right hand 90% of the time. You learn to move the ball to the outside hand after you break through the line so a LB doesn't knock it out. When he runs left, the ball is in the right hand (inside hand) which is EASY pickings for the likes of any decent NFL LB. Don't believe me, just watch! Another dolt. DeAngelo Williams has never fumbled. NEVER. So all of a sudden he will be a fumbler? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrJ 0 Posted May 13, 2006 I don't see how you guys can say 1 impressive play. I saw a number. My favorite is the play at the 42 second mark - that juke to the outside and cut to the inside, all while not losing any speed, is impressive. That's Cadillac Williams type moves...
