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

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
