Stewart is a liability

Or I should say, the way we are using him makes him a liability. He is a great back, and I think he should see the ball a few times a game, but I don't think he should get the 10-15 carries he does over Deangelo. It's no secret that Williams gets better as the game goes on and does most of his magic in the second half (at least during the games that we are not behind and throwing every down) It seems like every game that Williams will rattle off a 12 yard run on first and ten and then check himself out for Stewart, only for Stewart to be stopped for two to four yards and all of a sudden Jake needs to throw the ball twice in order to convert. Our game against Miami was a prime example of this happening. Deangelo needs to get into a rhythm and when Stewie comes in after every good run it just hurts that rhythm.

Use him for what he is, a goal line and short-yardage situation back. Deangelo should be the one running on first down, and he should definitely be the one in the game on pass plays and on the draw plays. Stewart is a very good running back, but Deangelo needs more touches. He is our best player.

Take away pass attempts from Delhomme, not carries from Stewart.

/thread

You can't /thread your own post.

While I agree we shouldn't throw as much, we have to have some semblance of a passing game or we aren't going to go anywhere. We may have won thursday night, but Fox knows that we needed to build on the success at Atlanta with Jake if we want to have a chance to make the playoffs. The 42 pass plays were inflated because of those last few drives where all we did was throw. (and we had to) I'm only pissed that Deangelo only got thirteen carries while he was playing incredibly. Put the ball in your best player's hands.

All I'm saying is that when your Running Back is picking up nine yards a clip he shouldn't have touches taken away by your other running back who is only picking up three yards a clip. Jake is obviously the real problem, but that has been beaten to death. This is another problem that needs to be fixed. They get about the same ratio of carries as Johnson and White, not almost split down the middle.

Williams should get 25 touches a game, rushes, catches, whatever you have to do.

pass less then. Don't blame Stewart just because there are enough Jake bashing threads. Umm...hmmm...you could try blaming Davidson? There aren't enough threads covering that, and you would actually have good reason.

You're missing the point.

We both agree that Jake is the problem, another problem is how the carries are divided. When your starting RB is on fire and playing lights out he should get more carries than the backup RB who is not playing nearly as well. In the Miami game Deangelo had 13 carries for 122 yards, while Stewart had 12 for 43. Give six of those carries to Deangelo and maybe we win that game.

....then take away pass attempts from Delhomme.

Obviously we run the ball more. Obviously we take attempts away from Delhomme. This thread isn't about Delhomme. This thread is about how Stewart takes too many carries from Williams. Thank you for successfully missing the point four consecutive times.

Williams is our best player. And the reason he is able to do so well is that we rotate him and keep him fresh. Increase the carries he gets, and his effectiveness will lessen. He should get about 18-25 carries a game, Stewart should get 15-20 a game, and Delhomme should throw a lot less.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      By CPantherKing · Posted

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
