RB Situation

God forbid I suggest Jonathan Stewart shares some blame for averaging 2.4 yards per carry. If this was DeAngelo Williams you'd be calling for his head.

No...you have no clue. Just read some of the stupid stuff you posted in the game day thread if you can't remember.

3 different people tried to explain this to you, yet you still don't get it. Not surprising.

Good god, all I suggested is Jonathan Stewart's output has been inconsistent. Sorry I'm not bowing down before him.

I bet you are one of those types that only watch the ball. Which is fine. The only problem is, you miss what is going on. And you miss some important stuff. Like blocking. Or the lack thereof.

Lol.

 

Look, if you want to justify a 2.4 YPC average, go ahead. You can say poor blocking is a mitigating factor. But you cannot blame it entirely on it. Especially when other backs have done just fine with it.

I give up. You go ahead and whine about the results. Ignoring the cause appears to keep you blissfully unhappy.

I'd sooner bring Stephen Hill up than Reaves and roll with Williams, Stewart, and Tolbert, just because if we don't, some other team (Cinci might be without AJ Green) will sign him off our practice squad. 

 

Try Hill out a couple games now that he knows the playbook then decide whether or not to keep him once Frank the Tank is ready to come back.

I'm not whining about the results. I'm saying I'm concerned with how Jonathan Stewart is playing, that he is very good in the passing game but inconsistent in the running game.

 

But of course, that means I irrationally hate Jonathan Stewart and can't possibly understand that the line might be contributing somewhat.

stewart is lookin buff, and he put in work today...that shoulder punch move he does is awesome! i honestly thought our run blocking was awful, but was impressed with stewy's patience and improvisation when gaps closed. with his balance, he can really take advantage when a defense doesn't play to the whistle. i was nervous that donkey-kong, or cam's fat auburn team mate was gonna fall on his ankle, but i don't feel so nervous moving forward after today. 

 

2.4 yards doesn't concern me either, imo he looked strong, agile, heady and decisive. i'm concerned with the continuity of the o-line when we run the ball though...but with the rest of the team playing so well, it may buy the o-line enough time to put it together, which i believe will happen.

IMHO, comparing Stew with DWill, Stew's the stronger runner.  He had multiple plays today where he was able to get more yardage after first contact.  How many guys did he have around him on the carry down to the goalline?  Not dissing DWill, but he seems to be more of an open field runner with the ability to make people miss, and with our run blocking, he's not getting that.

So yeah, put me down for being more impressed with how hard he fought and less concerned about his YPC.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
