I know this has been discussed ad nauseum but why do we keep taking d-will off the field every other series? I understand the two back system but it really doesn't make sense to me. I am not saying that Jonathan stewart is a bad running back, to the contrary, but watching them both it seems like a disservice to keep our BEST playmaker off the field. I know we need to keep him fresh but 14 carries in a game where we kept it pretty close doesn't make sense to me.

I mean I know a 5.3 yds a carry for d-will and a 4.6 yds a carry for Jonathan stewart isnt a huge difference but every time we change from d-will to Stew it looks like a big drop off to me. But yesterday's game with a difference of 2.16 yards a carry was huge and stewart still had 43% of the carries. It is just mind boggling to me.

Also look at the titans. You have chris johnson finally getting the BULK of the carries. Last year he was in this same type of system, yes they were 13-3, but he has alot less bulk on his frame to keep him from serious injury compared to d-will. Put d-will in the type of system to take 70% of the snaps instead of 60% that is adding about 40 more carries to his total of 210. that is still only 250 carries to johnson's 272. I know 230 more yards to his total isnt much but who is to say that that wouldn't make a difference in some of our games, like buffalo, or dallas.

Then we need a coach that will make the decision, not the players.

Apparently that is one of the things wrong with this team. The inmates are running the asylum..

agreed....a coach is the boss, he should make d-will the workhorse. throw him the ball more, get him more carries. He is obviously our biggest threat on the offense, not smith anymore.

If this was the playoffs or even if we were fighting to get in the playoffs, I would say we need to get Williams more touches. But, we're not. Right now, we have to have the long term in mind, and the best thing for long term development is to have them share carries.

This does two things, it gives Stewart more carries to work on his game and improve. It also greatly decreases the chance of Williams being injured or suffering the effects of over use. The rest of our season might as well be next years preseason at this point, it is time to work on player development for next season. I would actually like to see Stewart and Sutton on the field more and Williams less at this point.

I agree, I am not talking about the rest of the season, I am basically talking in retrospect and for next year basically.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.

      If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
