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.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
