Despite Rivera saying that Stewart needs less reps early on, both Wegher and CAP are inactive. 

 

@Panthers: #Panthers Inactives for #GBvsCAR: DT Edwards, DB Marlowe, TE Simonson, RB Artis-Payne, RB Wegher, WR Norwood, G Norwell.

Mentioned it earlier in a thread this week.  It's pretty surprising to me that we aren't spelling Stew a bit more with CAP and Wegher.  Stew is on pace for almost 300 carries, most he has ever carried was 220 or so, his 2nd year in the league.

A little worrisome to me.

Tolbert and Fozzy should take some of the load off him.

I can understand Wegher, to a degree. He probably wasn't going to make the 53 yet, but we knew that, if we stored him on the practice squad, he was going to get claimed. 

 

CAP should be playing, though. And not one random carry late in the game. The only thing I can think is that he isn't progressing as much as we would hope/like.

This doesn't surprise me.  With D. Williams & Shaq both healthy again, and Addison healthy enough to play, someone previously active was going to have to be deactivated.  CAP was the obvious choice.  The way we're playing this year, we're always going to prioritize the players in the trenches on the Oline & Dline.

I'm hoping that we'll be 8-0 going to Tennessee next week and might be able to play more of our rookies, but I'm not sure our coaches will go for that.

He's never had a work load like this before, he is getting paid to be a feature back, ride Stewart until the wheels fall off ... Stewart could get hurt even when being spelled, or he could not get hurt with the most carries of his career if he is going to get hurt hes going to get hurt ...

Like an inning limit for MLB pitchers coming off Tommy John, limit the innings all you want, guy can get hurt whether you limit his pitches or you dont

I don't think you understand how RB injuries work, or any injuries in the NFL for that matter.

I guess I don't

1,284 rushing attempts for Marshawn Lynch since 2011

585 rushing attempts for Stewart since 2011

Obviously the work load isn't why Stewart cant stay healthy, he'll get injured even when he isn't getting a lot of carries is what his history indicates

He has fewer rushing attempts because he was hurt. I'm not sure I understand your logic here. Lynch is built differently in a scheme that runs differently.

Stew can't stay healthy because he is injury prone.  With increased carries, you have a much better chance of injury.

In addition to that, you have a RB who is getting up there in age, and his body won't repair itself as quickly as it did in the past....leading to, once again, a higher chance of injury.

I'm all for running the wheels off of him, but let's make sure we do our best to be able to do that through 18 weeks.

The Panthers and Seattle pretty much have the same offensive philosophy if you get any deeper into it than that it is pointless, they both like the run first, period.

Stewart's healthiest season could be the one where he got his most attempts, this year, maybe his lack of carries and splitting time was the reason he got injured a lot, Stewart to me is a guy that likes the workload just never got it

Seattle and us have nowhere near the same offensive philosophy. But, I digress. 

 

There is obviously concern about it if the head coach of the team has acknowledged it already, openly.

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
