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.

      Another example of Bryce playing chess that casuals wouldn’t notice or appreciate

      I'm probably one of those posters, but I make those posts because there are too many things going on that don't make sense. For instance, how does a RB that does something that hasn't been done in 14 years immediately get reverted back to 2nd string, and it takes a leadership council to make him the starter when he's averaging 3x the YPC? Your average fan shouldn't be screaming that for 2 weeks before the coach sees it. And that's one of many.  What you're seeing is frustration that we could be better, that we should be better, if our owner, FO, and coaches could do things that are so painfully obvious to even the most basic fan

      I think we're all struggling with what things are right now and what they have been. It's like getting ready to have bandages removed after a long period of injury. The healing, the new growth, they aren't going to be pretty, there's going to be some ongoing issues for a while at best and there's every chance that we're going to have to go back into the bandage situation all over again. And that sucks. But it's also a place where maybe, just maybe, the recovery is going to finally start happening. The bad days will be getting behind us.  It's not going to happen this year, but I believe from what I see that this year is showing that improvement. We focus on the QB because that's what all the pundits focus on, because it's the flashiest and most heralded position on the field. No one wants to put out a tweet about how a center is holding down their job and anchoring a line. They rarely celebrate that blocking tight end or special teams gunner. That fourth CB on the depth chart? Not a mention. And yet, those guys are the kind that we've been building here, we're building the lunch pail guys AND finding some future stars.  Is Bryce one of them? Might be a cornerstone of the team in the future as the second QB, might somehow just show out to end the season. Might flame out like many expect. But if that uncertainty is all we concentrate on, we're just going to miserably look at this team and maybe miss out on some solid green shoots that are finally beginning to poke through into the sunlight.
