Our running backs are dead last in receiving yards

[GoobyPls]

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.

So what? Our offense doesn't rely on dual threat RBs. Just a hard pounding rb to get those hard yards.

Almost all of them are at the upper end of a sorted list of dropped passes.  Tolbert, Stewart, and Fozzy. The short passing game is not very good on either the passing or receiving side.

Shula has no fugging clue what a screen pass is.

Read option is the future amiright?

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.

And Cameron isn't the best at finding an outlet.

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.

[Saca312]

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.

To be honest, being ranked 32nd out of 32 to is higher than I was expecting from this group.
