The Blame Game - Reviewing all of Jonathan Stewart's runs

I have seen a lot of talk about Jonathan Stewart being washed up. Well, let us take a close look and see if that is indeed the case. 

 

Welcome to..... 

THE BLAME GAME

I will present for you GIFs of every Jonathan Stewart run from Thursday night. You tell me who is to blame for the lack of production. 

(Please DO NOT quote this post. Just give me the number of the play and who is to blame and why)

1.

My take: Just good defense here. Dickson took the outside man instead of the inside. Not that it would have mattered. 

2.

My take: Larsen was the weakest link on the OL here. Stew had a sizeable hole to his left, would have been nice to cut it that direction immediately.

3.

My take: Half the team is blocking for a screen pass. WTF?

4.

My take: Matt Kalil winds up on his knees. Probably not a good thing. 

5.

My take: Once again, Kalil ignores the outside man. We saw this against the Saints. Could be Dickson's fault, notice he looks left like whoops. 

6.

My take: Turner can't get to the LB fast enough. Kalil pulled down by his jersey. Not that it mattered, defense was swarming knowing it was a run. 

7.

My take: Manhertz completely whiffs, forcing Stew to run left. 

8.

My take: Larsen can't keep 59 from disrupting. Just good fast defense. Not a wise play call running Stewart out wide. That should be CAP or CMC. 

 

Remember, DO NOT QUOTE THIS POST. It takes far too long for the GIFs to load on mobile.

Perhaps simplify the run blocking and add a lead fullback. Also find the best blocking TE you can find in the draft or FA. 

BIN-FUGGIN-GO

The line clearly is confused about what they should be doing. 

 

SIMPLIFY!!!!!

 

I called for this weeks ago.

To me, it seems there are too many moving pieces to these blocking schemes. What happened to putting a hat on a man and moving him off the line? Is out OL really that piss poor that they can't win one on one matchups and move guys 1-2 yards off the LOS??

And, if so, why are we using an old, slow, power style RB trying to force his way forward against defensive fronts who consistently knock our line backwards, on their asses, or just whiff right past them to hit Stewart.

Put CMC and Samuel in the backfield, run the read option with Cam and those 2, and ADAPT to the personnel.

They man handled or OL. Those aren't overly complex runs. Also appears those runs were being stopped almost completely by the front 7.  I think there was 1 play were a safety came in and helped on a tackle already being made.

 

Yes, a FB please!

Every single one of those run plays are garbage.   Terrible play designs that had no chance of succeeding, none of them.  You know why?  Predictable.

Execution. It's not that it's predictable you must be challenged.

It's no secret we want to ground and pound, when we are good, teams know we're going to run the ball and we still do it effectively.

There really isn’t supposed to be anything complicated here. Stuff any o-line should be expected to make.

Yet comically our o-line fails.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
