Should he be restructured or be released after this year? I would have thrown traded into that scenario but no one will take on his salary. We obviously do not utilize him....sucks on both sides. He isn't given every opportunity to prove himself and we he is given opportunities he looks pedestrian.

i still can't believe we re-signed him to the contract he got...way to go marty...we keep our core even when it makes no sense

i partly blame rivera too...he knew what we were gonna do on offense and he should have made it clear to marty that deangelo would be under-utilized in this offense...could have saved us some money

They must have thought Williams would average 10 yards per carry with his 8 touches a game. At times during the Fox era, I thought they mismanaged splitting carries between D-Will and J-Stew. Yet this coaching staff takes the cake in mismanaging these two backs.

I think we did overpay but the bottom line is our OL has fell short in run blocking.If we want to run we better get our OL sured up.We have really screwed up betting on Otahs health improving year after year.It is time to bite the bullet and get a tackle who can get it done.

I don't get why they keep running DeAngelo right up the gut. He's never been a smash mouth back like Stewart. Williams' bread and butter is finding an angle off the corners, or a lane to dart through, cutting and weaving to pick up yards. This season all they seem to call for him are plays where he's butting heads with a 300lb. nose tackle while a linebacker comes flying in over the top to stop him cold.

Stew looks worlds better. I cant even understand why they dont use d- low in the passing game.we need to get him to the edge more often to. To much raming him up into a hole that just isn't there. He's at his best when he gets up 2 speed. I even like to see more of that nifty pistol set we were using. Hell they were running cam on naked running plays anyway, why not give him the option? I havent seen that formation where he and stew were on the field at the same time in i while. It was giving teams fits and they just stoped using it?

Deangelo just.....sucks. He doesn't even cutback like he used to, nor can he pick up a blitz and even if he does he can't block.

I'm torn... he hasn't looked like himself this year no. Last year, it took him until the middle of the season to get going good too though... my fear is that if we get rid of him, and we have another injury plagued year at RB, then what do we do?

From what it looks like our offense wouldn't miss a beat.

I think many for get Rivera's early presser where he stated this would be a Cam based developmental year. I remember him saying without OTA's and training camp we had to get Cam reps, and as things stand I believe that is why our rushing game has suffered as a whole. Williams and Stew have both had moments, and are averaging decent ypc.

I just think that our focus is on the passing game and getting it installed more and more each week. I'd be willing to bet we'll be quite surprised with next seasons running game. Though when we do run, I would like to see us try to hit the edge a bit more.

Stewart still looks noticeably better on the year......so OL can only get so much blame.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
