Folk Hero?
Carnell "Cadillac" Williams is like folklore. All these fictitious things that have been passed down from generation to generation. Such things as, "homerun threat" or "able to make people miss" or "elite." I've also heard he can chop down 1000 trees with one swing of his ax. That he captured a tornado with a lasso. Is it true he's faster than a speeding bullet, and able to leap a tall field goal post in a single bound?
These are the cold hard facts. These runners' offensive lines are struggling right now. A problem we have had in the past, but certainly not having this season.
Larry Johnson - 263 yards
Ladanian Tomlinson - 262
Frank Gore - 254
Steven Jackson - 233
Warrick Dunn - 222
Carnell Williams - 208
All the runners listed above are playing on teams that have been losing and had to revert to the passing game to play catch up. Steven Jackson and Larry Johnson's lines are beyond disgraceful, Jackson missed a game due to injury and Johnson was limited in his touches by Herm Edwards early on because of his holdout. They still have more yards than our Carnell Williams who was on a team that for 4 quarters against the Saints and Rams ran the hell out of the ball in the 2nd halves. The Buccs fans with the homer blinders on want so much to believe that we have an elite franchise back, that they are oblivious to what they have been watching for 3 years. He came into the league with a burst of thunder and the sparks of lightening. He broke a record, his shoes and gloves found their way in to the NFL Hall of Fame and the legend of Cadillac Williams grew. He's like a good fish tail.
