Where does Stewart fit in?

Three running back combination...don't think we can make that work.Looks like Deangelo needs snaps to get into a groove, and Tolbert is our short yardage guy and needs to stay that way. Add Cam getting rush yards and then Barner waiting for a shot.How can we use him to our advantage without disrupting the flow of our running game...splitting snaps like that never seems to work.Somebody isn't getting the snaps.Any ideas??

If he can actually play, then I say start him with 5-10 carries maybe, but mostly I think we should look to use Stewart as a receiver.  He's deadly in the open field and is a better receiver than DWill.  I think DWill has earned the workload though.

Hopefully, Jonathan Stewart will be back from PUP this week.  I'd like to see some opinions on how he will be used and what type of production we can expect.

 

My guess is D-Will will still get the 15-20 carries.  Stew will get 5-7 unless he shows a lot.  Hopefully this doesn't cut down from how successful Tolbert was yesterday.

 

I'd love to see Stew used in the screen game but Williams looked good there yesterday too.

 

I hope he helps but honestly don't know what kind of impact we can expect from him.  Our run game has been pretty solid throughout.

    • My thoughts on Carolina's post-season run: Obviously, the season began with a below average Freddie Andersen and everyone hoping Kochetkov would pick up the slack, until he got hurt. Enter Brandon Bussi who had a made-for-TV movie type run until the end of the season, when he came crashing back to earth, his save % drops under .900 and the team needs to score 5-6 goals to win games. Freddie has shown signs of a resurgence and Bussi looked pretty good the last 2 games of the season, but both sample sizes are small and questions abound for all 3 goalies. The physicality of playoff hockey will take its toll. Save for a few players, the Canes best players are small, their top 2 lines are small and there's no getting around that. The only way to protect the size disadvantage is a strong forecheck. Allowing opposing teams to establish the offensive zone and create board battles with smaller players will hurt Carolina. The Stankoven line could be a difference-maker. If they continue to play well against lower defensive pairs, it only adds to the depth of the team.  The Aho line had stretches of absenteeism during the season. The Canes cannot afford to have them dry up offensively and leave the scoring to Ehlers and the Stankoven line. If they aren't performing well, teams will simply roll their best lines out on the Canes best playing lines.  If the Canes can get by Ottawa and get some help from Boston against Buffalo, I think they have a legit shot to make the finals. Make no mistake, I think their toughest challenges are Ottawa and Buffalo in the East.
