He really is our MVP. 75% of the time, D-Lo and J-Stew simply follow him before the break out. It's almost as if he's running a route himself rather than becoming a battering ram. Fiametta is nowhere near his talent level and as we've seen, the run game suffers when Hoov ain't in there. But...Hoover isn't getting any younger. Hopefully he can train Fiametta properly.

Yeah since Fiametta has so little playing time. As long as we have TF there, I think we should play up to his skills. Wasn't he pretty versatile at Syracuse? Teams won't be expecting him for checkdowns and what not.

"Fiammetta played in 44 games at Syracuse, as a fullback and on special teams. In 2008, he was a receiving threat out of the backfield and is the third-leading receiver (16 receptions for 127 yards). In his four years at Syracuse, Fiammetta had 16 carries for 89 yards, including a career-long 58-yard run at Cincinnati in his final game for the Orange, and 28 receptions for 202 yards and one touchdown."

I know he's a rookie but he's dropped two important passes this year already. I know he has to get groomed for his eventual take-over as starter but he scares me right now.

If hoover can't go against the saints, and being that fiametta suffered a concussion(which means he probably can't play for a few weeks) who in the hell is gonna play fullback? we joked around last night that stewart could play the fullback position for a couple weeks.....imagine the blocks he would get! but we know that won't happen.

Anyone else concerned that Fiammetta was also out due to a concussion? I appreciate he is no where in Hoover's league, but that leaves us with a gapping whole at FB if neither clears up. For a power running team that is kinda important...

you beat me to it....sorry.:rolleyes:

      Canales is holding us back

      I've seen enough tape review to see that we run crossers...we have dudes in the middle of the field. I have to think that this is a harder area for someone of Bryce's stature to hit. You have to see directly over the center of the line and is probably where the most interceptions happen (he has thrown a LOT of his picks by not seeing a dude in the middle of the field).

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By hepcat · Posted

      While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen.
