Are we featuring Stewart for a reason?

[Blitz]

Does anyone else get the feeling Stewart is forced in the game at the wrong times or too much. Not bashing the guy he had a great game or the coaching actually. Damn it feels like he goes in at the wrong times, though. Just when d will is getting on a roll.

Is this being done for trade reasons. Extending the season of both for the streach run. Help me understand. Am I reading to much into it?

[Kurb]

Dwill 16 attempts for 79 yards

Stew 9 for 69 yards

both had 3 catches

[magnus]

yeah this looks like fantastic usage for Stewart as a changeup. The early feature for each in the passing game were somewhat mistimed though.

Last game I would have agreed with you. I'm a Williams homer myself, but I think Stewart was the better player this game.

We "featured" him because we wanted to put one of our best players on the field.

I definately felt this way, again, in the first quarter and other times. It seams like D.William is making plays getting into a groove then he's out. I wish they would ride him more. Of course Stewart running the way he did makes me feel better about the rotation. I just would like to see Williams get 25 carries for once.

He's used in order to keep both backs fresh. So 'getting on a roll' could also mean 'tiring a bit'. It may not seem like much at the beginning of a game but it is at the end. We just need a defense that can get off the field for it to be effective.

you guys do realize that williams pulls himself out of the game at times right?

not all of the rotations are called by the coaching staff.

either way -- THEY BOTH NEED A BIG GAME--- Nothing like MNF to do the trick

I loved the way both RB's played today. There were a couple things I didn't like about the Williams was running the ball on a couple plays, mainly dancing on sweeps and stuff.

Coming from a power back fanatic, I was proud to see Stewart break their defense when he came in the game. I'm sure the Falcon's D watched him come in the game and thought to themselves "O sht, here comes Stewart".

Dwill was a beast on those 3rd down receptions though.

boosting Stew's stock for future trade considerations?

[panther4life]

if we trade stewart i'll be pissed..thankfully i think the team would never do that

[CRA]

Stewart has looked good both weeks. Yesterday he probably should have had even more carries than Williams. Some days Stewart is gonna be more effective and some days Williams.

[firstdayfan]

I honestly think a lot of that is Williams and Stewart. I saw them on several occasions look over to the sidelines and wave the other guy in. I think both players are trying to stay fresh and honestly if that extents their careers I'm all for it. Eventually we will be left with only one of these guys so it will be nice if they don't have a ton of carriers on them when that happens.

[bigdog10]

I thought both backs looked good.

We need to stop with the pitches, we are a dominant running team when we tell our line to push the pile and have williams or stewart follow them up the middle
