Barner breakout game?

Barner may well see more touches this game than he has all season. Williams is questionable with that contusion still, last I heard, and Tolbert and Stew are both a little nicked up.

Do you think we put in Barner a good bit and let him get at least an even third of the carries, if not the majority of the carries, for this game? And do you think he finally breaks out and makes a play that makes us all talk about him for the next week?

In my opinion this is how it will play out.

 

Stewart will get first down and second down touches, obviously unless we pass on one of those downs.

 

Tolbert gets third and shorts and goal line carries, as usual. Third and long is a passing down obviously.

 

So where does that leave Barner? Change of pace back with <5 carries in the game, I think. MAYBE 5-10 if he's lucky. Maybe.

I think he should get more carries. I think he could have a breakout game. I just done know how badly he's pissed off River Boat in practice this season.

I think the kid can ball, and I hope we see it it in due time... But in these games that count way too much right now... If Stew and Tolbert are available, I'd rather see the trusted and true guys in there.

If they get more dinged up... It's next man up. I hope he's ready!!

would love to see a breakout game from the rook today.  we really are banged up this week at rb with stew and tolbert limited all week.  wonder if its just a precautionary type deal and we see a good game from both stew and tolbert and barner gets maybe 3 or 4 touches but "does some nice things"

I think that Cam will have to win us this game with his arm (against a stout secondary) and his legs. Ginn better not drop another bomb for 6 in this game.

Defense will have their work cut out for them if we can't get the running game going early. Loo for Cam to go to Smitty/Olsen early and often to get into a rhythm, and God help all of our nerves tomorrow if he starts throwing high on our first drive.

Just get us to next week in a position to take the Division!!!!!!!!!

If we need him to make plays for us to win this game then we are in trouble. Hope the kid breaks out but it's not going to be today.

Oh, I'm not saying we NEED him to breakout, but given how banged up our RB stable is, this could be his chance to do some damage (unless we've just been taking precautionary measures with them this week). I think we'll make plays elsewhere and I think Cam has one of his better games of the year (and we may need him to).

Agreed. Cams going to have to play well today for us to win this game. I think it's going to be a battle today.

As far as Barner....I'd be satisfied to see him make a play where he doesn't look like a deer in headlights.

      I would write “give remmers tight end help” on a yellow sticky note and stuck it in shulas playbook the night before superbowl 50.

      Nothing wrong with it at all until you start telling others they are bad fans or not fans. But you are the good fan because you never say negative stuff about the team.    I did many years of that type of uninformed fanning because there really was no info and coverage like there is with the internet.    I mean, I used to go to the store and get Street and Smith’s annual football issue. That was about the extent of what you could get if you didn’t live in a big city with sportswriters covering and reporting.  There was no video to look at or replay the games and if you didn’t live in the market you could only rarely see your football team play.    TI have fanned since being a kid in the early 1960s, and as late as 1995 - ‘97 I lived in Atlanta and good luck getting more than 3 or 4 games a year on TV. No radio either. No print coverage outside of an AP recap and box unless they played Atlanta.  People today that have always had the network connection don’t know.    I wasn’t very educated about the Panthers until I finally got internet.
