But again, I’m not sure that’s what I want from my RB. Jamal Williams had a thousand rushing yards with 17 TDs last year and only 12’catches last year. I’m not sure the idea of a guy who can rush well and not catch is a thing of the past.

From what I've heard Jamaal can catch, he just wasn't called upon to do much of it. Detroit just didn't seem to demand the versatility out of their backs the way the Saints have done. D'Andre Swift had 70 targets to Jamaal's 16. Conversely, Jamaal had 262 carries to Swift's 99. I would think the defense had an idea of what was being called in most of the situations.
