Is it crazy to just say the line blocked better for Deangelo? I saw Stew getting hit in the backfield and grind out a 3 yard gain. There is value in that. I don't like to get caught up in yards per carry because every play comes under unique circumstances.

 

Deangelo ran harder than we've become accustomed to. Credit to him for that. But he had a ton of ineffective runs too.

 

Tolbert didn't have a great game running but some of his carries were clock killing in a stacked box. And any type of misdirection or read option was less effective with DA in there.

it was deangelo williams's day. he was the hot hand.

both stewart and tolbert had trouble running against the bucs.

i really wish they had kept feeding williams instead of force feeding stewart and tolbert.

 

Out of curiosity. Anything get affected by Dwill not playing in preseason meaning no gameplan for him?

We kept Deangelo in for obvious passing situations so it was harder for the Bucs to key in on him when he was in the game.  Stew was in only to run the ball which made it easier for them to stuff him since they knew if he was in the game we were almost certainly running.  Those are the kinds of things i expect to see changed up as the season progresses.

DeAngelo Williams bounced a lot of things to the outside while Jonathan Stewart was tasked with running inside.  That was the difference.

 

But I don't think Stewart played poorly, not to the point where I think it'll be a week-by-week thing.  It just happens.

If the line isn't stellar then Stewart isn't stellar. He needs room to gain momentum. Otherwise he gets stood up quite a lot. I also don't understand why we run sweeps and tosses with him AT ALL. Why would we EVER want Stewart moving laterally?

 

At one point in time if we threw a screen pass to Stewert it meant a first down.

    • I find it funny those who continue to hate on Bryce based on his rookie year when he had zero weapons or offensive line have a problem with those of us projecting his career from the 8-9 games where he played like a top 10 QB and made more big time throws during that period than any other QB.  The stats may bot have been there in terms of yards or TD passes but that’s coming as the roster improves. For those who think physical traits can overcome roster deficiencies we all witnessed how Mahomes looked under pressure that Bryce faced for most of his rookie year, we saw what happened with Stroud in similar circumstances.  None of us were creating posts proclaiming Bryce as the next Brady but we can’t just sit idly while thread after thread is created continuing with the  anti Bryce tropes  instead of supporting him and just letting him continue to develop.     
    • To me Bryce's ceiling is his backup, Andy Dalton, in his prime.  Sure, he may get us some winning seasons and may even get us to the playoffs on occasion, but with an early exit.  To me he doesn't have what it takes to be elite and it takes an elite QB to consistently get deep into the playoffs.  He's not Jackson, he's not Mahomes and he's not even Allen.  In an organization like Philly, he possibly could have what it takes to make a deep run, but let's face it...Philly is well oiled machine and and we are a GMC Grimlin.
    • If he was he would still be in the league.... Cam never learned to play QB without relying on his athletism and rocket arm.
