Tampa didn't have a big lead...

Rivera talked about Stewart on his weekly Sirius appearance......the read option only has a threat of the inside read runs with Stewart.....per Rivera. THAT threat changes how a defensive front plays. We saw that when Stewart was out. They only worry about outside options which lets the defensive front t off more. They can rush the passer all out bc the runs are also going where the DEs want to penetrate if it was a pass.

That inside threat keeps a D from being from attacking all out from start to finish. opens up more for the O.

Yup deangelo is better on the traditional option pitch while stewart better for option read. Cam will never have a lane to bust out to the outside if they know the play is going to go outside anyway.

4 games in...

We average 30+ points with Stewart

We average 8+ points without him.

Cam and the offense just function better, Cam runs better, line play is better. I have said it for weeks now and people still argue it.....Stewart forces a DL and front 7 to play a different game and that helps everyone (it isn't just about his actual touches).

Nice theory and all but not true. Williams broke up it up the middle for his TD. Olsen's TD on the opening offensive series Stewart was not even in at all. On our 3rd TD of the game where Cam broke his 2 big runs, Stewart was not in at all once we got to the 40 of the Falcons. Then on the final TD to Pilares Tolbert was the one in the backfield.

I am not bashing Stewart I like him and Deangelo equally..but I did want to point out the fallacies in your statement.

Yeah, it isn't a theory. Coach Rivera verified my "theory" today.

Stewart makes the inside read a threat and is a huge piece of the O scheme working....per Rivera. DeAngelo doesn't create the same threat....with Stewart out the defensive gameplan is a different one.

Doesn't mean Williams can't run one inside....threat is different with Stewart. Overall gameplans change.

Stewart is a big help and why I never complained about us paying for him. But to say that the whole o-line plays better, cam runs better, offense is better when Stewart is in is false. They each add a dimension to our offense and compliment the entire offense well.

Tampa is the fourth best run defense in the league, stacked eight men in the box and had a coach accustomed to playing the option.

No where did I argue that Stewart didn't change defenses style. My point is that the biggest reason we burned them was due to real poor run defenses. The only exception (NYG) had the benefit of a big, early and growing lead.

      Thielen traded

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Vikings bring back WR Thielen from Panthers Vikings get: WR Adam Thielen, conditional 2026 seventh-round pick, 2027 fifth-round pick Panthers get: 2026 fifth-round pick, 2027 fourth-round pick Vikings grade: A- Panthers grade: C+ The Vikings have re-united with their longtime receiver Adam Thielen. Assuming the conditions of the 2026 pick headed to Minnesota are met, the Vikings will have moved back two rounds in next year's draft and one round in 2027's draft to acquire the single year remaining on the 35-year-old receiver's contract. This is fine business. The Vikings' receiver depth will be tested early this season, as WR3 speedster Jalen Nailor recovers from a hand injury and WR2 Jordan Addison serves a three-game suspension. Depth receiver Rondale Moore had a season-ending knee injury early this offseason, leaving rookie Tai Felton and veteran Tim Jones as the depth behind Justin Jefferson to start the season. Thielen should slot right into a familiar offense and provide a good safety blanket for young quarterback J.J. McCarthy, who needs strong early performances in September to boost his confidence and generate some positive momentum. I like the deal a lot for that reason: McCarthy won't spend the first three starts of his NFL career endeavoring to make up for bad receiver play. This is actually a bigger risk for the Panthers than it appears. From Week 8 on last season -- the stretch in which quarterback Bryce Young came back and looked solid -- Thielen was the Panthers' best receiver. Sure, guys like Jalen Coker and Ja'Tavion Sanders were having breakout games, and the backs were getting involved as pass catchers, but it was Thielen who drove the ship. Thielen averaged 2.47 yards per route run in that stretch, which was the 14th best number in the NFL. He also caught 80% of his targets when Coker and Xavier Legette caught 63.2% and 56.4%, respectively. Thielen was so valuable that the Panthers gave him a raise in March worth $1.5 million to encourage him to stave off retirement. The drafting of first-round receiver Tetairoa McMillan always foretold a decrease in target share for Thielen. But keeping Thielen around for another year would have helped smooth the transition. Now the Panthers enter the season with a starting receiver trio (McMillan, Coker and Legette) full of big-play potential but no proven chemistry with Young over the middle of the field. That's an important cornerstone of the Panthers' offensive system that needs replacing. -- Solak
