Do we have reliable back up RBs?

[Hotsauce]

JStew is balling out, Tolbert is balling out. 

Outside of those guys, are Fozzy, Wehger, and CAP capable of helping carry the load as the season winds down?

I don't have stats, but I feel like everything time we take out stew and throw in one of those guys, we are not moving the ball as well.  Am I wrong?

[Jackofalltrades]

I think we're good, they don't get any reps so it may take some time to adjust, but I really like our depth.

[chknwing]

any player on this team added by getty, is capable.

[juliosantos]

i think fozzy is underrated  same with cap i would want to see us give them more carries 

[goodoleboy]

Capable yes. Just as good? Probably not. CAP is the unknown with the most upside. Maybe we will get to feature him in week 17 with everything locked up.

[RealBitsOfPanther]

I feel they're capable. They just don't have the reps. Most teams run 2-3 backs in a game. 1 of ours just happens to be Cam lol. 

[Khyber53]

I'm beginning to worry less about depth on our team. 

[Mol3m4n]

Fozzy isn't good. I'm not sure why he is even on the team. As for CAP and Wegher,  I just haven't been able to see them. 

[YoungPanthers89]

Fozzy should almost never be handed the ball (which he doesn't). I'd be confident in CAP and Wegher if they are needed.

[shaqattaq]

Can't really make any kind of determination; Wehger hasn't been active all season, and CAP has not been active for many games. When he has been, he hasn't gotten touches. I really thought that we'd see more of him with Rivera saying that he wants to rest Stew. Ass for Fozzie...not sure if we're just not using him as we should or if he's a mediocre RB. he has his role as a change of pace back, but I would like to see him doing more.

[X-Clown on 1]

I think CAP is the future of this team, but man I should would have liked to seen more of him by now.  I've always felt that J-Stew splitting carries with DWill was bad, as Stew gets stronger the more carries he gets.  Still, we need to see what CAP is capable of so if we need to call on him down the stretch, he's not just getting his feet wet late in the season.  I'm a bit surprised by those tactics.

[CRA]

I don't think we know the answer to that.

Stewart is such a unique runner.  It isn't glamorous but not many could do it.  Without, I think we would be in trouble. 

[CoastalCat]

I'm not ready to call Fozzy bad yet. He does ok in garbage time. Broke some big runs last year, and got 3 ypc on his 2 carries yesterday. Can never really tell with a guy until he's "the guy". 

Really hoping we can keep the momentum going, and that the other teams keep falling short. If we can lock up the 1 spot in the NFC with 1 game, or even 2 to go, we will get to see what Fozzy and CAP are made of. The Falcons, and maybe the Bucs, will still be shooting for wild card spots, and will likely play us tough.

Panthers made both Wehger and Cap inactive and when Stew took the cheap hit to the knee I thought he was done for the game.  Really would have changed the day.

Props to Stewart for toughing it out (something he has taken some heat here for) and having another great game.  But looks like Bersin was activated instead of CAP.  Yes, Bersin had a big first down for us but all of our "no-name" WR's played well.

Fozzy is getting the nod because of special teams play and his past success with screens.  CAP needs to take note and practice harder in ST drills to get on the field if RR is going to continue to dress 2 RB's and Tolbert.
