Stewart

[Squirrel]

So slow day so I wanted to get the Huddles opinion.  What was Stewarts problem Sunday?   Was it rust? Offensive line?  He lost a step?  Or just maybe TB run defense is that good?

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?

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.

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 one game

The bucs have a stout interior line and that is where Stew ran almost every play. Deangelo had more outside runs where there was more space to move.

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.

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

For some reason we only run screens with Tolbert.

Stewart inside sets up playaction.

There wasn't anything wrong with Stewart, the problem is people undervalue Deangelo Williams.

Pretty much this.
