9 yards per carry

Why even give Jonathan Stewart carries last night? Why give Sutton carries? Has nobody on this freakin staff ever heard of going with the hot hand? We have arguably the best running back in the league on our team and we pass the ball to him once and only let him run the ball 13 times.

We drop back to pass and leave him in to block on 3rd downs? Give me a freaking break...a running back isn't going to make up for the fact that we don't have Jordan Gross. This staff was very ill-prepared for the loss of Gross and how the play-calling should work. This game just sent me over the edge...I wish that Richardson would pull a Ralph Wilson and just go ahead and fire Fox right now. People around the league have enough respect for Richardson not to question any decision he makes at this point. We have a team FULL of playmakers and we are going to be lucky to go 8-8 or 7-9.

I have no real problem with giving Stewart some carries but Williams needs to be in on key downs. Stewart just doesn't have the vision Williams does. Stewart gets stuffed on plays williams would have broken away from. Stewart is still a good back but over the season I just don't trust him to get the 1st down as consistantly as Williams.

    • Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo. 
    • I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins. 
    • I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
