Huddle question....possible offensive game plans utilizing strengths and cover weaknesses

Game is two days away and it looks like Stewart will be able to go as well as Smitty (on a limited basis I would guess,definitely not 100 %). So they have a season of games under their belts and we have seen the capabilites of our backs ( Stewart not so much), and our wide receivers (with and without # 89). Question is the best way to include Stewart to create positive yards and the wide receivers to cover for Smith and his injury. Please no Madden crazy ass plays and so forth. Climb inside Shulas brain and rework the connections to add something to our game plan that will put points on the board without upsetting the balance of run and pass.Defense needs little help but the offense needs to produce now.

Stewart will come in to give tolbert a break if needed, i dont see him having more than 8 snaps.

 

Smitty will be effective with ginn, lafell, or olsen clearing out the safety or corner and probably running slants, outs, comebacks and option routes. i dont see him getting loose down the field.

I think part of the national media's concern with us is our receivers and Smitty not being 100%. It's just time for our receivers to step up and secure the ball.

 

Lafell is due and there's no reason not to give it his all now...I expect a 150 yard game from him. Ginn will stretch out the field with a couple of big plays but really it's up to our RB making some catches, Olsen finding some seams/out patterns and Lafell delivering his best game of the season.

 

And Smitty gets a TD because he wants one.

Stewart's first game back he immediately saw a big role this year.

Then against SF he was a bigger part of the gameplan.

I expect Stewart to again get a nice load this week. His style suits the game.

Nothing suggests a healthy enough to play 28 will be limited

GB were moving the ball with lacys power running so Tolbert is the best bet, and big plays weren't needed in that game Nelson Cobb and Jones got enough space to complete short to medium gains on drives, it was only GBs failure in the redzone that made us play these douchebags on Sunday.

Call me crazy but I think Hixon sees the field this week more than ever.  I think we will do some 4 wides and less play action.   Last time we did a ton of play action and it didn't work.  Sunday I think we throw more to open up the run instead of run all day to set up the pass.  Let newton throw early and get into a rhythm.  Screens, reverses, slants and more quick hitting plays.

Screens to Jstew.

I think doses of both would help.

    • Really? You don't see why a team can't draft a QB in the 1st round while then starting their former #1 overall pick over them while on the last year of their deal? It puts the team in a TERRIBLE place no matter how the season goes.  If Bryce sucks, you have to answer questions as to why he was still on the team to begin with, let alone starting over the rookie.  If he's good, then you run into the situation the Vikings were in last offseason with sticking with the rookie contract or the the guy who just performed instead of said young QB. It's one thing when teams keep a vet around as a bridge QB, it's something entirely different when that QB is still only in their mid 20's and was taken #1 overall by that team.   That just doesn't happen and not sure it ever has in NFL history before.
    • What is the alternative? - BY, will not play for less then his perceived contract (just like Cam Newton did). So you pay him top of market as befitting a 1st round, Heisman winning, playing birthing QB would get. Or you cut him. - Then we are forced to either sign a stop gap QB / previously failed QB and try to fix him or you spend a 1st round pick and draft a guy, basically resetting the team.  The reality is that we all want a top 5 QB. The problem is there are only 5 of those guys in the world and drafting, even #1 overall doesn't guarantee that.  The other problem is the NFL market. Young QB get paid. Even an average, young QB gets top of market deals. I know a lot of people here think we could sign him to an 'average QB contract' but thats not reality. Didnt happen with Cam wont happen with BY.  So we could let this season flush out and he is again a middling QB. But then we cut and restart or accept it is what it is (including compensation) and build a team around what we have.  My money is on the latter.
