I think we missed Stew out there more than we thought

Especially in pass pro. Although CAP ran alright today, neither him nor Fozzy held up well against Zimmer's exotic blitz packages. I remember one play in particular where Fozzy stepped up to take on an interior rusher (which was already blocked) and let Harrison Smith to have a free rush off the edge to drill Cam in the back. Let's hope Stew is back sooner rather than later.

With the way our OL is blocking, we may be better off just going with Fozzy. Power oriented between the tackles runners aren't getting any room to run. Fizzy has the ability to bounce it outside more so than Stew or CAP. 


Splitting some time between Fozzy and Stew is important or else you lose the change of pace. I don't think that Fozzy can be a bell cow back himself.

Also, anyone else notice that in each of the last 4 losses Stew was either out or hampered with an injury?

Ehhh if you want a blocker just put tolbert in.. if you want better running just let Cap play and fozzy can be the pass catching rb.

Tolbert is really bad at blocking. 

On second down, the second time we were pinned deep near our own EZ, Shula calls a QB draw. Actually not a bad play call to give us some room to work with on 3rd down. 

Well, Tolbert decided to run up Olsen's back and then block Olsen for the next 3 seconds as Cam runs into the LBs with no lead. Or with a lead FB blocking his own TE.

I think we made a mistake letting Wegher go for Tolbert.

i think we missed josh norman and greg hardy. 

sometimes you need those fiery competitors to spark a team. we haven none. 

Complacent. Just like Rivera.

Expect the same as always. Turns out the first half of the season last year was a fluke.

I believe it had to do with all the impact plays the secondary made with Tillman, Norman, Harper, and Coleman at FS. Harper could not cover, but he could stick his nose in the middle of everything in the box and create a turnover.

Coleman needs to move back to FS at the very least. The rookie CBs need to start causing fumbles and intercepting passes before the game is put away.

Not week 1, he was fine. The other 3, yes.

    • I think Canales goes before Young in that scenario.
    • But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.
    • I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.
