Can The Eagles Contain DeAngelo Williams?

DeAngelo Williams Talk about a guy who came out with his hair on fire following the bye week
last year averaging 124 yards per game gashing opposing defenses scoring 15
touchdowns in 8 games. DeAngelo Williams has quickly become an elite running
back in the NFL.

Last season the Panthers organization made it clear they were
not confident enough in Williams to be the franchise running back by drafting
Jonathan Stewart in the first round of 2008.

Williams obviously responded to the addition of Stewart to compile 1515
rushing yards and a league leading 18 rushing td’s. What’s scary about Williams
is his ability to hit home runs. \

I can’t begin to tell you how many times I
would be checking my fantasy stats on the blackberry watching Williams carry for
consecutive 1 or 2 yard gains. This would usually be shortly followed by a
touchdown or a 15 yard scamper resulting in some pay dirt fantasy points .

The bend but not break Eagles defense will need to expose Williams achilles
heel in order to limit his carries and chances to slice through a mediocre at
best linebacking corp. Jake Delhomme threw 5 interceptions in the Panthers
finale last year. As a result Williams touches were sliced in half and was
limited to 63 yards.

With the emergence of Williams following the bye week, the
opposite was the case for Delhomme who threw more Int’s(7) than Td’s(6) after
the bye week. On top of the embarrassing playoff loss it shows that the Eagles
have a shot at keeping Williams off the field by forcing Delhomme to make
mistakes.

Let’s face facts, its near impossible to stop Williams. The Eagles have two
shut down cornerbacks who will have to silence Steve Smith and a front four that
MUST get pressure on Delhomme without blitzing every down. If the Eagles are up
to the task they can contain Williams. If not, its going to be a rough debut for
Sean McDermott’s defense.

Thanks for the advice on credit repair on this excellent site. Some tips i would tell people will be to give up a mentality they will buy at this moment and pay back later. As being a society most people tend to repeat this for many factors. This includes family vacations, furniture, plus items we really want to have. However, you must separate a person’s wants from the needs. When you’re working to fix your credit score you really have to make some trade-offs. For example you possibly can shop online to economize or you can click on second hand suppliers instead of highly-priced department stores to get clothing.
