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

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      PFF made it up just to make Bryce look better. Crazy right? Also I can’t believe you said he played “better.” Careful and you might let a compliment slip…. (kidding)

      re: PFF having Bryce Young as the best deep passer in week 12 Link to original article Excerpt from the article: PFF's passing-by-depth report for week 12 NFL Pro's Film Room Play 1 - Completion to XL running a deep crosser despite multiple penalties by KC on the play Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Play 2 - Completion to JT with the pass rush closing in Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Play 3 - Hits David Moore in the hands while taking a shot from new Panthers' DL Ter'shawn Wharton for what would've been a TD Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Play 4 - This is the first play that folks could attempt to pin on Bryce if not for one detail... this was 3rd & 10 with 9sec left in Q2 (as seen in the screenshot showing the list of plays). Bryce had to air mail it out of the back of the end zone so that there was still time to attempt a field goal before halftime. Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-03.mp4 Play 5 - Bryce places this ball where only David Moore can get it (spoiler: Moore does not get it). I've included the other angle as I was confident that some would try to hyperfocus on this play as why PFF was wrong in their evaluation. Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-04.mp4   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-05.mp4 Play 6 - Sideline shot to XL but he drops it. Again, both angles included to avoid bad faith misrepresentation. Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-06.mp4   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-07.mp4
