What Exactly Happened to our Vaunted Rushing Attack?

Recommended Posts

We are currently sitting in the bottom half of the league in rushing yards per game , Stewart is averaging  a paltry 3.3 YPC  on the season , and McCaffrey at a horrendous 2.8 YPC.  Jonathan Stewart literally averaged 1.2 yards per carry on 18 attempts against the Lions, that is god aweful. We're blessed our passing game has been flourishing recently. 

To give Stew credit he averaged close to 5 YPC against the Saints, Patriots . However , McCaffrey is consistently getting terrible turnouts with his rushing averages , but I guess I can chalk most of that off to him not getting into a rythm and getting so few carries (only 3 carries against the Lions ...). 

So what is going on here? Is it the run blocking? play calling? Stew getting old or McCaffrey unable to break tackles?

Another thing in common with the 2015 season.  Teams didn't think Cam could beat them in air...so they stacked the line for the first several weeks, as Cam shredded defenses.  Halfway through the season teams started playing off, respecting Newton's arm.  The result?  One of the best 8 game spans J-Stew ever had. 

Through 5 weeks it seems every opponent has 7 or 8 in the box against us.  I expect that to change if Cam keeps playing this well.  The running lanes will then open up.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
