Player changes for next week.

The first thing I do is sit DeAngelo down on his sorry butt.  From the complete whiff on his blocking that gets Cam killed to him getting no push or dancing in the backfield before he cuts it for no gain.

 

It not just that D-Lo is playing badly and this is coming from a huge D-lo fan but Stewart is straight up dragging players and running over people.  He's getting yards where there are none.  He's running with great power.  To my untrained eyes it's night and day when Stewart is in there.  

 

I've always hated this dual running back crap.  A RB needs to get in a rhythm.  Yes, you need to spell your starter to keep him from getting too tired but one RB should be getting 75% or more of the carries.  

 

Next, we don't have a choice but to do some drastic things with the O-line.  My starters are Bell,Ameni,Kalil,Turner, and Norwell.  I have no idea if Norwell can play RT but I do know he is mean and can run block really well.  That's great since my new game plan is to run Stewart into the ground.  

 

Run, run, run and run some more.

 

Unless we're getting long drawn out scoring drives we've got to start taking a lot more chances on defense.   Show us some Jim Johnson blitzing on every other play.  We've got to get pressure on the QB.  We've already seen what happens in the end when we don't.  

 

I'd rather die by the blitz than getting picked apart.

Made me sick watching DeAngelo start that game Monday night. What has he done to warrant getting the nod over Stewart? Jonathan has been running hard and actually moving the chains/picking up yardage after contact all season long while DeAngelo has done the opposite. Stewart has the ability to pound a defense and wear them out over the course of a game. 

 

The worst part?

 

Watching DeAngelo trip and get tackled by his own linemen and being the back of choice on a crucial 3rd and short. Does this coaching staff even know the strengths of their personnel? It's clear as day that Stewart needs to be the workhorse from here on out and that he is far better in short yardage situations.

Can you believe we don't have a single back or QB on pace for over 500 rushing yards? That's so freaking pathetic for being the base of our offense.  These coaches are delusional with the personel they have.

Is Jim Skipper the one rotating them? That is my belief.

2011- No Skipper, 28 played a higher % of snaps than any RB in the NFCS

2012- Williams officially benched. Stewart was given the job. Then he got hurt.

2013-2014 - Skipper returns. Williams the slightly favored RB even when both are healthy and 28 is more consistent.

So under the Rivera era. When the RBs have been healthy, Williams only has legitimately gotten the most work with Jim Skipper back on staff.

How shitty must Stephen Hill have gotten, to not even be able to get activated from the practice squad with this group of WRs

This dude was a starter last year, and had some flashes. 6'4", 215 lbs, ran a 4.30 and a 4.36 at the combine 2 years ago. I thought this guy was gonna be a steal!

I wish we knew what Proehl knows about him. At this point why not send him streaking down the field? He must really suck to not crack this lineup.

I disappoint

I rather have Stephen Hill streaking down the sideline on a go route wide open with a 50% chance to catch a wide open bomb than Cotchery being locked down. I don't care how bad he looks it can't be worse than what we saw Monday from Cotchery. Cotchery doesn't have speed and he can't jump.

Bersin gets better separation on routes than Avant and Cotchery too.

I just hope he starts holding on to the ball.

    • well, players dictating things only works if you have the right collection of players to dictate things.  and in all honesty, not sure if we can answer if we do or don't as fans given......there are no Thomas Davis types around that we know are actually about X and Y (based on years showing it).  Collective team is too new to us to know what these dudes are really about in terms of players carrying the burden of culture. 
    • Moore can be put in one of the vet spots on IR. No one will be checking for him at the start of the season. But I would be very perturbed if we tried to go all Gettlemagic and stash an obvious talent like Horn on practice squad like we did Butker. If we can get through this year, next year it will be obvious Moore and AT will be gone, starting namely with AT's contract.  
    • Culture change comes from the top down, not from drafting a 3 and no D guard. I doubt Lamelo is gonna take his cues from this 20yr old kid lol. If Brandon Miller couldn’t change the culture with how good he is and how much he hustles on both ends, Kon Knueppel sure as hell ain’t changing it. Ace Bailey by all accounts is also a great teammate and hard worker, btw, who was drafted by a team he supposedly didn’t want to go to yet he immediately bought in. And he’s got actual length and tools on both ends of the floor. I feel this pick is going to age like milk rather quickly.
