Why do they insist in Starting CAP over Fozzy?

Fozzy has outplayed him the last two games as a backup. CAP can't even handle handoffs correctly

 

First. Tolbert ran into Cam on a hand-off as well. Things are off back there.

 

Second. Cap is a better between the Tackles runner. Fozzy is more the outside the Tackles runner. Two different styles. So they are used differently in the run game. However, IMO, the reason Cap gets the start, is because his style fits what we like to do. Ground and pound. Once that kicks in, that is when we start to mix things up.

 

Lastly. Fozzy has 27 carries, and Cap has 18. Fozzy has 18 catches, Cap has 1. So Fozzy is getting plenty of work. Just not the start.

Tolbert is a useless tub of lard.

 

And who cares if he's better between the tackles, he's barely getting any yards. If the outside running is working better we should do it more and start Fozzy  CAP is slow, small and is terrible and handling the ball, when Fozzy started week 2 he didn't juggle ball every handoff.

 

This is the coaches being hardheads and not being able to adapt.

You could try to explain the difference between a workhorse back and a change of pace back.

Or you could just give up and say "screw it".

Yeah CAP is the prototypical work horse back ... Stewart-light 

Fozzy isn't an every down back

Work horse? LOL according to who?

 

Just cause Fozzy is smaller and has actual 4.4 speed doesn't mean he can't carry the load. Jamal Charles doesn't ring a bell?

I agree and what really bothered me was that they gave CAP the start after Fozzy's 100 yard game, when CAP was inactive. Why can't we simply use our players to their strength instead of trying to force something that obviously isn't working and why die it take so long for them to realize that it isn't working? Did RR not say during Preseason that Stewart and Fozzy were locks and the battle for the 3rd spot was between CAP and Wegher... I don't get it

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
