Will R.R do the inthinkable...start Dlo ?

[King Schhit]

I don't care who starts. He said that Stewart got the number of carries he wants him to have....which is 20....which is significantly more than Williams has had in any game this season.

I believe Ron was trying to toot his own horn a lil bit there & would've said that regardless the # carries. As long as he was productive in a win.

When the focus of the question is "will Rivera start the wrong guy", the answer I generally lean toward is "yes", especially on offense.

 

 

I read that Williams may not be able to catch passes because of his hand injury,so we may be spared from Rivera making a dumbass decision.

Injuries have actually been kind to us on that front (on more than one occasion).

In his press conference today, Rivera was asked if it "would be another week for DeAngelo?" and he responded "probably." Good news for this week at least. Maybe a 200 yard game from Stew could pressure Rivera to make it the Jonathan Stewart run game from then on.

With the OL playing better DWill may play better. JStew did no better until this past week when the OL decided to show up for the first time all season.

[Camp Fodder]

Can't speak for everyone, but that's not a high priority to me.

Was that Rivera's call though, or Gettleman's?

We'll never know, but it's an interesting question.

(I'm not the first person to ask it)

I always thought GM's manage the personel. Coaches just coach who they have

Upon further review, how did I miss the "inthinkable"?

[jtnc]

Remember back when D-Will had a 200+ yardage game against a terrible Saints defense and people were saying it didn't count because it was against the Saints?

Now Stewart has a 150+ yardage game against a terrible Saints defense and those same people say Stewart has "earned it" because he had a good game against the Saints.

I don't really care who starts. Just think it is funny.

Except for the fact Stewart has been running well for some time now...he's also the leading running backs in broken tackles. Fact is D-will has not even touched the end zone this season at all.

[teeray]

In fariness...28 ran against the Saints in a similar fashion to how he has been running for weeks. He just had more touches.

That is a difference

11 carries for 36 yards against Philly

7 carries for 24 yards against ATL.

I guess technically you are correct. He has run the ball well for two weeks.

[teeray]

Don't get me wrong. Stewart has looked the best he has looked in 3 years the last 2 games.

I just think it is funny that some of the EXACT same posters thay argued for a whole offseason that D-Will's 200+ yard game should not count because the Saints had a bad defense are now using the Saints once again terrible defense to say "See Stewart has earned it"

[ThinkAboutIt]

Stewart has EARNED the starting job!

 

Stewart plays better when he doesn't start, so he doesn't. That's what the staff believes based on when he started a couple of years ago and sucked. 

 

It's football. Starting doesn't mean squat. He'll still get the most carries. So what if he doesn't get THE FIRST ONE?

[CPcavedweller]

Ron is a politician. There's a reason he's the players coach. Keep the vets happy all the time and don't stir the pot. There's no way rookies and new FA's will start any upheaval with the kind of season we've had.

Politicians not stirring the pot huh?

Get him the ball 20 times in those games and maybe he could've broken one. He runs hard all the time, it's just a match up problem with our offensive line.
