Panthers Rb Situation

PANTHERS RB SITUATION:
so does anyone that follows the panthers know how the RB situation is i love deangelo and followed him throughout college and into the pros but havent heard much if hes getting the starting spot or if hes gonna be splitting with the new rookie Jonathon Stewart..... anyone know anything about this?

[Bravesndolphins]

From what I've heard and read is that they will be splitting carries. I'd imagine they will both get an equal amount say 17 carries each and some games 1 guy will get 20 and the other 14...I think DeAngelo Williams is going to have a great season.

DeAngelo is the #1 guy, but Stewart will take some carries, mainly as a change of pace and goalline back. DeAngelo will be the speed and Stewart will be the power. Everything I've heard so far says DeAngelo is having a great camp.

I read somewhere that Stewart was already ahead of DeAngelo on the depth chart.

I hope he earns the starting role. When ever I saw him play Williams looked good and played hard.

Dwill is having a great camp and for now will get the majority of the carries but it will be a 2 back system. Stewart is going to be utilized in short distance and red zone offense right now. It will be a little offset carry wise with Dwill getting the bigger number. Ideally Fox wants stewart to be the hammer and Dwill being the speed and finese.

Dwill is going to have the starting role right out the gate, he looks too good not to

If I know Coach Fox, he will let DeA start for sure given that he is the veteran. I expect both to get a lot of carries but they want to get back to pounding the ball this year. They've added about 4 linemen who weigh about 325 instead of the 290-300 types we have had in the past and put some weight on some of the ones returning too. They want to run it this year and I'd think that Stewart will eventually be the workhorse and DeA will give them that nice change of pace back.
