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.

    • Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down. 
    • 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.
