He has shown that he can start and produce the last few games. He has shown Rivera he can trust him to start and stay motivated. Given he is going to be the featured back going forward, it is great that he ready to be the go to guy and needs no external motivation.

There's no way they'd have started Williams.  He might get a few carries to give Stewart a breather and keep the defense off-balance.  But if they'd started Williams that'd have to be one of the dumbest moves in the history of the NFL considering Stewart is killing it right now.

The bigger question is how many touches Williams takes away

Actual rushing attempts? I'd speculate any attempts Dlo gets are subtracted from Fozzy, and even there it would be hard to say. I'm sure that each RB has plays they are specifically suited for. Guess we'll see. If Dlo is successful when he gets a rush or pass, does it really matter?

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Bryce and Dave will determine how many games this team wins next year. It’s not on the WRs. The RBs. LBs. This is about 2 things: 1. Can Bryce continue to come up big in the few key downs that decide most games?  2. Can Canales evolve his play calling to counter punch like the big boys do. Half time adjustments.  teams that score 30+ points on the regular win more games than not. That’s on Bryce and Dave. The offense is top 10 at every position group, save for TE and QB. A baller TE is gravy but not crucial when the receivers are dudes.  The defense is the defense. It’ll be better this season, hopefully by a large margin, but Dave/Bryce is really where it’s at.

      Strength of Schedule for 2025

      Normally I'd wholeheartedly agree with this. But I feel like teams figured out this offense after the Raiders game. Bryce was so inept the first 2 games that we couldn't really even run the offense. Dalton's first game showed what we had. But after that game, coverages got a lot tighter and windows were smaller. When Bryce came back in, his ability to extend plays made a big difference. It's really difficult to stop a QB that can beat/escape 1on1 tacklers. It puts a lot of pressure on the defense when you blitz. And he was completing throws in tight coverage with anticipation. Point being Bryce wasn't throwing to wide open receivers that were schemed open by the offense. Occasionally yes. But not often.

      With the additions we've made to our roster combined with the state of the division and the conference as a whole there is no excuse for this team not to make a legitimate push for 8-9 wins. Anything less is honestly inexcusable. There will be no more free passes for being a doormat in this iteration of the league where even mediocre teams are competing for playoff spots.
