yeah that sounds about right to me. Cam's run can change games, Tolbert is efficient, Williams a threat to break a big one, and Stewart falls forward. 

 

I still remember 2005 when we were basically down to the some no name scrub in the Seattle playoff game. Lots of running backs is always a good problem to have.

In a week you can switch Williams and Stew. Once Stewy gets his legs under him he will add more to the run game. 

Williams, one of my fav people on the team, doesn't have the speed he had years past. His cuts are quickly becoming a step slow.

Couldn't disagree more.  I think he still has that same burst, and he's shown it several times this season.

Spot on with DWill, he HAS lost a step, but the biggest issue the guy just can't create holes, if the offensive line isn't a beast, he just dances around and barely gets positive yardage.  The other guys at least can get a couple yards or sometimes create holes.  DWill was a monster in 2008 when half the posters on the huddle could have had a 5ypc with that line lol.

Right now, if the game was on the line with three yards to go, I'd only trust three rushers to get those harsh yards.

As much as I love D-Will, he isn't one of them.

1. Cam

2. Tolbert

3. Stewart

 

I love me some DeAngelo. But, Tolbert and Stewart both need more touches. Heck, everytime Tolbert runs the ball he seems to get 2 or 3 yards after initial contact. Williams goes down instantly, it seems when he is first touched. We would be much better off pounding the rock with Tolbert and Stewart and using DeAngelo on 3rd downs. The other team's defenses are stacking the box with 8 at least, Williams isn't going anywhere.

Deangelo and Sewart have both been anemic. Stewart gets stuffed as much as Deangelo does.

 

Stewart can get the extra yard up the middle but Williams gets the longer runs when he can find space and has better hands. This has been true for as long as they have played together and isn't that different now.

 

Tolbert is a great situational back.

I was gonna start a thread on how we need more production at some point from our rb's. I'm not panicking but it would be good to see.

Quietly I was not sure how the offense would adjust to Stew coming back.

But if used right you could treat the rb's like relievers in baseball. Have some set up men middle reliever types then a closer.

Running wise the Panthers are built nicely to play while ahead.

But anytime you can improve while on a hot streak you can't complain.

      D and D is the answer.

      For Bryce’s obvious shortcomings (bad pun), there is upside to his game. This isn’t being a homer or apologists, but I like to consider myself fair in criticism.  He’s far tougher than I ever thought he’d be. I really thought homie would have been broken in half by now. I don’t know how he’s not, but he’s not.  He is prone to turning the ball over early in games which digs a huge hole the team is not built to come back from, but dude DOES come up with crucial first down in crucial situations. It’s NEVER pretty, but he just kind of has the shining. He gets bailed out LOTS, and the team still loses games because of him, but he’s a bit of an enigma. He’s a turnover machine that is clutch in big moments.  He’s a smart/elusive cat. He kind of has to be with his limitations. His audibles are almost always correct and he understands coverages. I don’t see him getting fooled too frequently. His turnovers are almost never the ‘damnit Jake/Cam!’ brand we have been accustomed to. They are ALWAYS due to his size/strength limitations.  Strip sacks that shouldn’t be. Picks that happened because he just don’t got that NFL arm. He is still prone to panicking and the wheels can and do fall off at a much higher rate than his peers.  The team is winning on the backs of the defense, running game and special teams… but they’re winning, and unbelievably 1 game behind Tampa. As long as this is happening and Bryce doesn’t go full meltdown, Dave is going to keep him in. He is not getting pulled.

      Meow Mix podcast cancels plans to return after players tell them not to

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      This was a terrible podcast. A bunch of uninformed homers that had worse takes than the bottom 10% of the Huddle. I listened to a handful of podcasts this past offseason in search of new Panthers material since John Ellis doesn't do his pod anymore and The 4 Man Rush don't either. Immediately deleted it after the handful I listened to. Truly terrible.

      Why do people think Bryce Young won this game yesterday?

      By PappyMay · Posted

      The NFC South was so bad it sent a team with a losing record to the Playoffs that year. Wilks had players playing hard at the end but let’s not act like that was a good season. That season hurts even more now that we see in hindsight how good our QB situation was. We just didn’t know it.
