Our running backs are dead last in receiving yards

We have 285 receiving yards from backs. To put that into perspective the two worst passing teams in the league (49ers and Bills) both have over 400 yards receiving from their backs.

According to football outsiders Stewart is the worst receiving back in the league

I knew Stewart had stone hands, but this is just sad. Hopefully our next back can actually catch.

Have you seen Cam throw a screen or pass into the flat lately? Not exactly his strong suit. I can't remember how many times I've seen him throw to Stewart in the flat in years passed that require him to either spin completely around because it's behind him or leap because it's high.

Last week he hit Stewart right in the hands and he dropped it. Stewart is a stiff at this point in his career.

Our RB's aren't asked to do much pass catching but it would be nice for Cam to have that outlet. Maybe DG will get us a pass catching RB in the draft...maybe Christian McCaffrey in the 1st rd. Just kidding but snagging one in the draft would be a good move in my opinion.

In all honesty, Stewarts not the kind of guy who'll be catching a lot of screens, because that's not Shula's style. I'm sure Cam is more than capable - and Stewart too. It's just Shula is a bit behind with all these new football styles that never existed when his daddy coached the Miami Dolphins. 

He doesn't have the right crayons for a "screen."

Heck, he doesn't even know what that modern day term is.

It would be interesting to see up to date stats but in 2013 we utilized and benefitted from screen plays and especially rb screens near the top of a sorted list.

In 2014 it's more like top third.

So I realize you are fishing for likes but the facts show Shula knows what a screen is.

      Give Legette another season?

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Trade up for a project was dumb, he's gonna be 25 next month. By the time you're deciding on whether he's worth the 5th year option or a big contract you're already gonna be thinking about moving on soon either way.

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.
