6 is cleared to return. And Williams will cede the spot atop the depth chart to one of the leagues most versatile players. Hell Antworten

PITTSBURGH -- DeAngelo Williams isnt obsessed with his numbers. The Pittsburgh Steelers running back isnt really keeping track of them anyway, though if hes being honest hes getting a little tired of his age coming up in nearly every conversation.Yes, Williams is aware hes 33, a time when backs are either retired or rapidly heading in that direction one carry at a time. And yet there Williams was, churning out a career-high 32 carries for 94 yards and adding four receptions for another 38 and a touchdown in a 24-16 win over the Bengals on Sunday.Somebody said in the locker room, `Youre either old or you are good, which one are you? Williams said. And I was like, `I dont know.By all accounts, Williams seems to be both.While the yards didnt come as easily in the rain at Heinz Field as they did last Monday in a romp over Washington, it hardly mattered. Williams found enough room to keep the chains moving, the Cincinnati offense off the field, and the Steelers unbeaten. Who cares if his yards per carry (a modest 2.9) wont exactly have fantasy football owners rubbing their hands with glee?Last Williams checked, he dealt in reality. And the reality is Williams is doing more than serving as a caretaker while LeVeon Bell serves his three-game suspension for violating the leagues substance abuse policy. He is thriving.Ill take a 3.0 (average) in a win any day as opposed to a 7.0 in a loss, Williams said.Williams also went over 10,000 yards from scrimmage on his career, the 13th active player to reach that plateau. Pardon him, however, if he doesnt get too worked up over it.Its yards man, he said. I am hunting one thing and one thing only, and its a Super Bowl. The 10,000 yards up until this point havent translated into a Super Bowl, so it means nothing to me.Maybe, but the 132 combined yards he piled up against Cincinnati meant plenty to the Steelers. It kept Pittsburgh afloat on a day quarterback Ben Roethlisberger wasnt his normally crisp self. It also served notice that while the years next to Williams name are climbing, the miles still remain relatively low.Williams is well aware one of the reasons hes still around is thanks to his nine seasons in Carolina, where he split carries with teammates, namely Jonathan Stewart. It worked for the Panthers. Theres every reason to think it may work for the Steelers when Bell returns in Week 4. Just dont expect Williams to start clamoring for it.Sure Williams believes hes good at his job. Its just that Bell is probably better.The thing I wanted to do when I got here, is when Bell went off the field, not to take any pressure off the defense, Williams said. But Bell is so dynamic when he plays the game I dont want him to come off the field.They do provide a study in contrast. While Bell will patiently wait for the blocks ahead of him to develop -- even occasionally placing one of his hands on the back of a lineman -- Williams takes a more direct approach. Whenever he met with resistance on Sunday, he lowered his head or his shoulders (or both) and tried to make room on his own.Hes also made an impact in the passing game. His touchdown grab on Sunday was his first since 2013, but also his 10th reception of the season. In 18 games with the Steelers Williams already has 50 catches. Thats nearly as many as he had from 2011-14 combined.Williams will get one more chance next week in Philadelphia before Bells familiar No. 26 is cleared to return. And Williams will cede the spot atop the depth chart to one of the leagues most versatile players. Hell still be plenty ready, however, when called on.

It was the kind of score that might make everyone else wonder which course he was playing. Except that Graeme McDowell saw the whole thing.

Heres what was buzzing around the second day of Las Vegas Summer League:Vegas Summer League buzz: Day 1Rome wasnt built in a dayJaylen Brown sat out two games at the Utah Jazz summer league after suffering a bone bruise on his knee in his debut Monday. He admitted to being a step slow Saturday, but also stressed those that doubt his draft position only motivate him more.Everything is fuel to the fire, Brown said. Its all about getting better. Ive said it before, Im not trying to be cocky, I dont care about the pick; I want to be a top-3 player one day. So Im going to keep getting better. Rome wasnt built in a day. The biggest room in the world is a room for improvement. -- Chris Forsberg, ESPNNo more Mr. Nice Guy?The Bulls offseason makeover has been a major topic of conversation among the coaches and scouts at the summer league this week. Consider them generally skeptical about how well newcomers Rajon Rondo and Dwyane Wade will mesh with Jimmy Butler and Chicagos holdovers.In particular, the consensus seems to be that Fred Hoiberg will have his hands full with the big personalities in his locker room. Hoiberg may be too nice to coach this team. -- Kevin Pelton, ESPN InsiderA raucous crowd at summer league?Saturday broke a single-day attendance record for NBA summer league in Las Vegas. The total count for both gyms was 16,208. That tops the previous record of 12,422 set on July 10, 2015. -- Baxter Holmes, ESPNSixers summer league coach Lloyd Pierce on the crowd for Lakers-Sixers: Unbelievable. I talked to the guys in there (in the Sixers locker room afterward) that there are 82 of these during the season. This is a great first step, especially for Ben [Simmons], just for everybody. The crowd, to feel the energy, one-point game. I dont know how you can start summer league better than that, other than to get the win. -- Ohm Youngmisuk, ESPNWorth a shotJonathon Simmons is working to change his jumper by keeping the ball away from his face, which will result in the second-year mans form being taller when he releases the ball.dddddddddddd The bulk of the work done to improve Simmons shot has been performed by Spurs assistant Chip Engelland and Marlon Garnett, a player development/video coordinating assistant who is also serving as an assistant on the Las Vegas Summer League squad. -- Michael C.

He already has three that hes been cycling through since college: Buddy Fresh, Buddy Love and Buddy Buckets.After a 5-for-20 performance in his debut Friday, Hield promised to put on the appropriate persona for the follow-up Sunday against the Utah Jazz: Its Buddy Buckets tomorrow. -- Justin Verrier, ESPNChecking in on Utahs Trey LylesHaving already played a few games in the Utah Summer League, Trey Lyles continues to show he has a well-grooved spot in an NBA rotation -- a big shooter who can use shot-fake attack moves comfortably. His game is mostly about being a shooter, even when he posts up.As for his foundation, thats fine. Even if Lyles does not add more to his game, he has a place in the Jazz rotation with room to grow. His shot looks very good, with solid mechanics and pace. Which is good because Lyles isnt shy about taking 2s and 3s. -- David Thorpe, ESPN InsiderAll in the familyNuggets-Grizzlies clearly was not the main event. Ben Simmons and Brandon Ingram were facing off in the other gym, and Emmanuel Mudiay had bowed out of the rest of Denvers summer league stretch. And yet, famed LeBron James business partner Maverick Carter was in the audience, sitting courtside and staying until the end.The reason? Nuggets summer leaguer and former Wichita State Shocker Darius Carter is Carters cousin. The lanky forward was kept on the bench until garbage time in the fourth quarter, when his first contribution was a putback that garnered a pointing celebration from Carter.Were family, Darius Carter said after the game. Thats what we do. -- Ethan Sherwood Strauss, ESPN ' ' '
