BUT CAM CAN'T CHECKDOWN TO HIS RBS!! HE NEVER DOES!!!

 

 It wasn't a good hands day for running back Jonathan Stewarticon-article-link.gif, but his perseverance paid off. After he dropped a second pass early, he got an earful from linebacker Thomas Davisicon-article-link.gif, who barked, "You left your hands in the building, Stew!

Stewart spent the subsequent special teams period catching ball after ball on the sideline from running backs coach Jim Skipper and pro scouting assistant Jonathan Fields. Lo and behold, Stewart dropped his next opportunity as well but then secured one soon after.

"Good job, Stew," Shula said.

 

 

I wouldn't write off Stewart because of one un padded practice. We have all seen him catch the ball in real games. He doesn't do it a lot, but he can. CMC will be a much bigger target in the passing game anyway.

Fozzy is legit garbage at being a checkdown back, and that's not Stew's forte either.

Just stop with your narrative that Cam sucks, because you honestly make yourself look stupid.

Who in the hell said Cam sucks? All I'm saying is that Stewart can catch better than what he showed in practice today. Stop being so damn sensitive.

I've been looking for it to no avail and I can't remember if the link was through the huddle or not. There was an All-22 film break down that highlighted the myth that Cam doesn't check down. If someone knows what I'm talking about, post the link please. Cam does a pretty decent to average job checking down to his RBs though.

After 10 years in the league, a drop is not a good look.  You think Stew is gonna magically become Marshal Faulk or Arian Foster(healthy)?  

Stew is a RB, a tough to tackle grinder that is better suited to take a hand off than a check down.

He can do it, but I'd rather see him between the tackles than in the flat.  Stew is a beast but let's just call it what is.

70% career catch rate and it was 77% the one season that we actually made a real effort to feature him as a receiver.

Faulk's was 76% and Foster's was 72%.

Faulk is by far the best receiving RB that ive seen in my lifetime.

Stewart has 154 career receptions. He will be fine. He obviously won't be the #1 target but everybody already knows that. Or at least I hope they do. And I'm not trying to knock Cam by defending Stewart's ability to catch a damn football. Some people here are just so far up Cam's ass that they think any comment that isn't a compliment of Cam, must be an insult against him when it's really not.

Yep, seems like people forget that Stew caught 47 passes for 413 yards (with a 77% catch rate) under Chud (with Cam throwing to him) and then Shula stopped using him as a receiver.

So one season is the standard not the anomaly? Just for comparison sakes Peterson (who many consider a bad receiving back) has 5 seasons with over 200 yards receiving, Stewart has 1.

I'm not saying that Stew is Marshall Faulk when it comes to receiving. All I'm saying is that he performed very well in that department during the lone season that we made an effort to feature him as a receiver.

Peterson has received 40+ targets in five seasons, Stew only one. Peterson averages 33.5 targets per season, Stew 24.5. That's over 35% more targets per season,so it's a little unfair to pick an arbitrary number like 200 receiving yards to use as a viable measuring stick to compare the two.

The part that's worrisome is that Shula feels one out of four isn't bad.. yikes!

    • Canales up first. Guys got their legs back yesterday and started a little slow when they came out Bryce challenged them in the huddle and they responded "Dominant practice for the defense today." Praised turnovers, "beautiful hits," and being physical Praised Moehrig, Ransom, Incoom, and Jones II Confirmed playing starters. Predominantly a young team and can't pass up an opportunity. Emphasized game day routines such as nutrition, body readiness, etc. Plus it's a bunch of new guys on the defense. Bryce will start. Will play them the first two, but starters might sit for the third game depending on how practice goes that week. Nic Scourton has a mild hamstring that happened in special teams. DJ Johnson had an issue with his hip flare up and is getting checked out this afternoon. Experimenting with approach to preseason games. In Seattle they played their starters in all but the last preseason game and what Pete Carroll was looking for in terms of mental readiness to play football. Thomas Incoom has been getting a lot of work with AC Carter adding to his toolbelt. Getting better as a rusher and being physical in the run game. Looking for a consistency in response. 1pt for a win, 3pts for a TD. Defense doesn't like that, but in games if they give up one go ball the score can swing. They challenged the pass game and the run game today. Guys are getting together before, between, and after team drills to challenge each other Job of the coaching staff to set the foundation for our schemes, philosophy, and expectations of what it's like to play Panthers football. Powerful when players take that and the locker room owns it. That's when it becomes our team, their team. At the end of the day, the men on the field have to rebound from a bad play, celebrate the good plays, and keep each other in tune for a whole game. Robert Hunt is amazing. Size, talent, quickness, flexibility. Really intelligent guy that there will say himself there are technique things he needs to work on. Regardless of where players are at, there's a constant learning curve and loves that Big Rob is challenging himself with the position coach. Thinks the digital down and distance can be really valuable. Getting the information quickly will help with the flow of the game. Thought TMac looked great but there were some near misses that he'll have to get in the room and communicate with Bryce on while reviewing film. James Mitchell keeps doing right and his trust factor is increasing with the QBs. If you're right and the coverage says the ball goes there, it'll come. Had some issues at the start of camp but is trending up. Newton or Person: "It looked like today was beyond thud but short of live. What do you call that?" Canales: "No, that's thud. In my mind, that's what thud should look like. The challenge for our defensive guys is can you put your body in a position where we know that would've been a tackle." Whizzing by, tagging with two hands, etc doesn't show you whether you would've made a tackle. That's not real football. Let's the play extend because guys have to be ready to chase sometime where the ball squirts out from a pit. Can't train to say "Ah, it was a tackle" and relax but instead play with intensity through the whistle. Lathan Ransom is bringing the physical style of play that they saw on film. Has been really into the details and someone that they can count on. Has really given himself a chance to start at the other safety position. Excited for the extra energy from a game-like environment that they'll get from FanFest. Used to have four preseason games and now FanFest feels like that first one. Will give ST full speed reps to evaluate. Making plays and feeding off of the fans. Window closed quickly on the INT to finish practice. CSW baited Bryce with some movement and made a great play. Saw it from Bryce's perspective with TMac coming open. Has played all over the secondary that they can count on to speak loudly and be on the same page with his teammates.
