Jonathan Stewart | Keep Pounding

[Ace_Aladdin]

The Motto | We Came, We Saw , & We Conquered 

What a statement victory by the Panthers and a momentum booster for the season. Like always the defense gave the Panthers a chance to win and the by the grace of the football gods the offense took advantage of opportunites and fought there way back to victory. Cam and Olsen sealed the game for the Panthers, but if it was not for the pounding runs by Stewart, the 80 yds scoring drives would not have been possible. Stewart ability to pass protect, catch the ball from the backfield and the aggressive running style seperates the offense from previous years (cough cough Deangelo Williams). Like Igo stated earlier the use of the power run game is whats going to seperate the Panthers from previous years, sprinkle in with zone read and TEs like Olsen &  Dickson will take this team deep in the postseason. 

I have stated in preaseason that Panthers running game will be top 5  with Stewart passing 1,000 yds and I believe this is unfolding as season progresses. We wait for Daryl Williams!

Did Stewart's knees touch down on that play?  It looked to me like he was not down.  Too late now.

That was the most intense I've seen Stewart play in a while.  He was hitting the gaps HARD and running north/south with ferocity.

It's getting to be that time of the season that Stewart gets warm

I've wondered the same thing, was very close. And right after while he was standing there someone punched the ball out. I haven't watched it in slow-mo yet but we might have got very lucky there.

Love that 3rd GIF with Cam.  He just loves to play and it shows.  He's got a great personality and I think that's part of what makes him as good as he is.

A forearm is considered a knee. Looks like his Forearm touches down.

That was a very impressive game by Stew, especially that run with 4 or 5 Seahawks keeping him upright so they can try to strip the ball from him...

[GRWatcher]

The 1st few games, he was dancing behind the line instead of hitting the holes that were there. Seahawks game & he looks like the power RB we remember he is. He out-beasted Lynch lol. Props to Fozzy, too, for doing a good job spelling him too. Save the dancing for after scoring!

Shula does have one of the most complex run playbooks in the league. This is recognised by multiple analysts and ex-coaches and was clear at the end of last season when the oline had a chance to play together.

To pull off these sorts of schemes, with multiple guard and tackle pulls and stacked side runs, requires a lot of timing and gelling off the oline and RBs. To me it's natural that the running game will take off later in the season as the oline and rb get used to executing the complex run book.

Chancellor loves hitting defenseless receivers and running backs from an angle. Its alot different when Stewart has a head of steam coming at you huh champ?

[SgtJoo]

If stew can keep hitting the hole and stop getting happy feet he's dangerous

[maddog1945]

I could not believe that was Stewart running the way he was.

He hasn't ran like that in awhile.

The running game sure is picking up steam!!!

Very impressive!

In the clip you provide, notice how far Stewie runs before getting touched.  8, maybe 9 yards.
