RB Question

[SgtJoo]

No, not a trade question.

When JStew comes back how are the touches going to be split? Barner is hardly getting playing time as is, how much will he get then?

I'm assuming DeAngelo is RB1 the whole season, barring injury.

[SuperJTheGreat]

JStew will be handed the job.

[Lemory]

So pretty much the opposite of what he said.

Seriously doubt Stewart is up to a heavy workload.

He probably serves as a complementary back, with Barner getting touches here and there.

[Frank Hollywood]

I really think they will ease jstew in, maybe split it 70/30, not counting Tolbert or barners touches.

If the coaching is smart, they'll split based on situational awareness and the ebb and flow of the game.  

 

That being said, I predict anywhere from a 35-60-5 split all the way to a 47-48-5 split, with either back getting the majority on a week by week basis, with Barner and Tolbert getting some token spots.

yeah... we still have rivera and shula

In my opinion, I say we trade Stew for a pick. D Will is better with 20+ carries a game. Barner can rotate in just to give D Will a breather and to run screens and dump routes.

if we trade stew, why would barner be giving stew breathers?

Fixed...

[Achilles]

Traditionally we have had the most success when Stewart pounds the rock in the first half and Williams comes in with fresh legs in the second half.  This won't be likely immediately as Stewart will need time to get back in the swing.  I am kind of worried that things will get muddled and we will have no clear strategy (kinda like the first half of last season).  Sometimes I think it works best for us to have just one featured back, which is why I think we will see one or the other depart after this season.  Maybe Shula can use both wisely...maybe...

[Jmac]

If and when he does come back, he will not be in Game shape (hasnt played since mid 2012).Lets do the math.....comes back game 7 according to RR, three or four weeks to get his legs under him...so six games left 2013 season...If we keep crapping the bed we will be playing for nothing by then.It's a wash.

[Chaos]

I may be alone on this, but I just can't see Stewart playing this year.  There has been no update on his progress at all, and we all thought he would be good to go by camp and that was far from true.

 

When do we have to take him off the PUP list - after this week?

[MichaelNewtonII]

Stewart should be traded godddamnit
