Stewart out vs Giants, CAP will be involved with Fozzy starting

[JawnyBlaze]

Got a notification on my phone, said RR said what's in the title to reporters today.  No link cuz it was something on my phone.

Just saw it tweeted out, it's a good move in my opinion.  Also please sit Olsen.

Yea, it's what needs to happen.  If we can't beat the Giants without Stewart, we're not going far in the playoffs with or without him.  Hope CAP gets close to half the carries.  Need to see what he can do for more than 1 or 2 carries in a game.

Wish CAP was starting and Fozzy was coming off the bench.

We are a power running team which CAP is better suited for along with his incredible patience and awareness for a rookie. It's the perfect style for the scheme we've been running.

Fozzy is scat back which means they may have a different offensive game plan which I don't like since it's been the same thing for 13 weeks straight.

Tolbert is likely to start with Dickson or Simonson in the backfield.  Dickson played FB a lot in 2014 when Tolbert was hurt.

And now Rivera says, “I’ll let the cat out of the bag, he’s not going to play this week.” — on Stewart

I don't think you sit Olsen yet. I'm aware of the injury factor but we gotta win this week if AZ wins to get the number 1 seed. The problem is AZ plays Sunday night. At least play him until halftime and see what we're looking like. AZ can still beat us for the tie breaker.

another phone notification, Tillman is playing this week.

I also figure Tolbert will get a majority of the carries which means less CAP opportunities. 

I think people need to brace themselves.....b/c I think Sunday could hit people in the face with the fact we can't run block (at least consistently).  Add in a slow to the line HB like Tolbert and we likely could find ourselves behind the chains a LOT.

What Stewart has done this year is EXTREMELY underrated.

If that holds true, it put Cam at much greater risk for multiple reasons.  He has to run more and being behind the chains puts him at more risk in the pocket.

I think we will know more about Tillman's odds after his body reacts to today's practice.

To your previous post, that's why I would prefer Wegh's and CAP be active.  Those guys are more shifty and promise to be more of a bruiser, you know, other than "scat back" Whitaker.

yea, you're right.  your comment made me go back and double check the notification.  I missed a key word the first time: "hope".  "hope Tillman will play Sunday"

I think CAP could prove to be worthy of getting a lot more carries. But he's unknown quantity so they'll throw him in to see how he does first. Bold prediction he gets the majority of snaps in 3rd and 4th maybe even 2nd quarter after breaking off some big runs

that's fine. pass against the league's worst pass defense to set up the run, and let tolbert grind it out with fozzy spelling him double trouble style. try to utilize CAP in the screen game and see if you can take advantage of a shoddy perimeter defense and linebacking corps that will likely blitz to make up for a terrible pass rush.

we'll be alright.
