stewart will miss opener...

[CRA]

Stewart took the majority .. but DeAngelo did take a few ..

He actually didn't take a few. People just assume he did. Not worth getting into.....We debated it before and no one could show a single play of Williams doing the zone read from the spread. They confused option pitches as him being involved.

Spread read option looks were Stewarts thing. Pistol and option pitches Williams got in on....read option plays to Williams weak areas. Which is why it was all Stewart....plus that is an awkward option despite looking easy and Stewart had done it for years

Williams never ran the spread option - zone read stuff last year. People confuse him taking a couple option pitches meaning he did the zone read stuff out of the gun....he didn't.

Stewart did it in college and took all those plays last year.

Stewart is the ideal RB for this team. It hurts. But we have good runners at least. Nothing wrong with saying it stings. That doesn't mean we can't run it down there throats. Running those with Williams isnt smart....better to run him in looks that play to his strengths

It'll be fine. Just because Stew was the only one who did it in games last year doesn't mean that none of our other backs are capable.

Stop treating Williams like a scrub

LOL, typical huddle response....nowhere did I state or imply it.

Williams is a beast. Stewart is just the spread option RB.....so it sucks that tiny aspect won't be showcased. Don't just make up stuff....problem here is people will read your post and assume I said that.

I think we'll miss Stewart but not enough to miss the game, damn preseason.

I'd rather Williams beast on Tampa abusing them on the outside.

Why run him inbetween the tackles putting that quirky read handoff on him?

dude I watched every snap last season .. Stewart took the majority but he did not take 100% of those snaps ..

but it's no big deal .. Williams/Tolbert/Cam will get the job done today

[Herbert The Love Bug]

Going to miss his great blocking and stiff arms. Think we can still win, but now Brockel will have to start

.. typically in the regular season he does get outside .. for some reason in the preseason Chud likes to run everything up the gut

I fully expect Williams to break a few off on the outside today .. hopefully!

Well, an arguement for another day...

But I out the challenge out here before.....name the game.

But I agree, it is NO BIG DEAL....I just like those looks. Game won't be about having or not having Stewart

Maybe they'll give Williams all the rb snaps and leave Tolbert at FB

Yeah I totally agree .. a loss won't be about not having Stew

If I have time I'll dig around and see what I can find!!

It stinks because this is a game our running attack would feature. Still the important thing is he's healthy for the long run.

the pistol is a wrinkle that is apart of the spread and Dwill did take a pitch out of it(2nd TB game i think). the zone read in which you are refering to is about Cam reading the DL and him deciding on giving it to the RB or pulling and keeping. even when Cam pitches it to Dwill it is still an option read based off what the d gives him and Cam reading.
