CAP or Fozzy?

break out game for cap against a strong front 7 Vikings def is not as strong as ours but they are no push over either it will be a interesting game. If we win it will set us up for a nice win streak with Falcons, bucks and saints before our bye week .cards will be our next challenge after last years playoff.

After Fozzy's last outing, I'd rather see Fozzy get the lions share, CAP a few and Tolbert only on short and or goal line yardage. 

IMO Fozzy deserves quite a few carries on Sun. He averaged 6.25 yds/carry for his 16 attempts, and that's pretty impressive. Alternate him with CAP to try and keep the D off balance.

I expect CAP to get the bigger workload.  His pass blocking was a big issue last year and it should be better this year (at least it looked better in preseason).  Look at the 3 games without Stewart last year though.

Week 15 (77 snaps):  CAP (31 snaps) - 14-59 rushing, 2(2 targets)-34 receiving / Fozzy (23) - 2-2, 2(2)-14 / Tolbert (26) - 5-10, 0(0)-0  (Note that Newton was 8-100 rushing this game.  Tolbert got the start)

Week 16 (52):  CAP (20) - 5-49, 1(1)-7 / Fozzy (18*) - 5-32, 2(2)-6 / Tolbert (20) - 2-16, 2(3)-17 (Newton added 7-46 rushing and Cotchery was 1-16 rushing as well.  Fozzy got the start but also left this game with a high ankle sprain and didn't return until the NFC championship game)

Week 17 (64):  CAP (39) - 14-44, 2(2)-17 / Tolbert (37) - 10-59, 1(1)-5 (Newton added 6-10 rushing.  Tolbert got the start)

    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
