What is the status of Jonathan Stewart?


Eazy-E

Recommended Posts

I haven't heard much about him latley. Will he be back for our playoff game? I know he hasn't done much this year but having him and Tolbert on the field at the same time may help open up the screen game. That is if Shula actually calls some RB screens.

 

I'd like to see him and Smitty back because any extra offensive weapons will be more than welcome.

Practicing for the Tour De France....I do agree we need to call more screens because Deangelo keeps breaking them for big gains and we need big plays wherever we can get them

Didn't Williams have a 50 yard screen (with a fumble)?

 

I am assuming Stewart is out for the year

 

Yes which is why I am hoping for more RB screens as it was probably our most effective offensive play. History has shown Stewart and Tolbert are our two best receivers out of the backfield.

 

I want this team to be 100% Healthy in 2 weeks.

He's listening to his body, shhhh. He may not be able to hear it with all this chatter of "healthy". In all seriousness, we need him. I don't care what anyone says but Stew and Dwill both being healthy make us a better team. There are several tackles Stew would run through that Dwill can't and there are several draw type plays we use Tolbert for that Stew could run.

Hopefully Stew returns so we can use him on those inside runs to set Tolbert up on some FB screens. That element of surprise from a true FB position cannot be understated.

Dwill is averaging 12.8 ypc... He's been pretty good out of the backfield.  This year, anyway, Dwill has been more effective as a receiving option out of the backfield.  he's been really good on screens.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
