| Panthers RB DeAngelo Williams Happy To Split TIme With Jonathan Stewart | | |
During a winter in which everyone has been bashing coach Panthers John Fox and GM Marty Hurney, there actually is someone singing their praises. It’s Carolina running back DeAngelo Williams. “I think the front office and coaching staff are single-handedly prolonging my career and Jonathan Stewart's career,’’ Williams said a few weeks ago when he was attending festivities at ESPN’s Wide World of Sports in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. "Thirty is like the new 50 in the NFL, especially when it comes to tailbacks.’’ He put it into a perspective that you don’t often hear, but it’s the perspective Fox and Hurney hold and it’s why they believe so strongly in a two-back system. “We’re each about 220 or 230 carries a year,’’ Williams said. “I’d rather have that than 300-plus carries a year. That wears on your legs and you’re not going to last long doing that. With me and Jonathan back there and sharing it the way we do, that’s a real treat and neither one of us is going to get worn out.’’
