Is it crazy to just say the line blocked better for Deangelo? I saw Stew getting hit in the backfield and grind out a 3 yard gain. There is value in that. I don't like to get caught up in yards per carry because every play comes under unique circumstances.

 

Deangelo ran harder than we've become accustomed to. Credit to him for that. But he had a ton of ineffective runs too.

 

Tolbert didn't have a great game running but some of his carries were clock killing in a stacked box. And any type of misdirection or read option was less effective with DA in there.

it was deangelo williams's day. he was the hot hand.

both stewart and tolbert had trouble running against the bucs.

i really wish they had kept feeding williams instead of force feeding stewart and tolbert.

 

Out of curiosity. Anything get affected by Dwill not playing in preseason meaning no gameplan for him?

We kept Deangelo in for obvious passing situations so it was harder for the Bucs to key in on him when he was in the game.  Stew was in only to run the ball which made it easier for them to stuff him since they knew if he was in the game we were almost certainly running.  Those are the kinds of things i expect to see changed up as the season progresses.

DeAngelo Williams bounced a lot of things to the outside while Jonathan Stewart was tasked with running inside.  That was the difference.

 

But I don't think Stewart played poorly, not to the point where I think it'll be a week-by-week thing.  It just happens.

If the line isn't stellar then Stewart isn't stellar. He needs room to gain momentum. Otherwise he gets stood up quite a lot. I also don't understand why we run sweeps and tosses with him AT ALL. Why would we EVER want Stewart moving laterally?

 

At one point in time if we threw a screen pass to Stewert it meant a first down.

    • i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something.  life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 
    • FLASHBACK: I remember back when ESPN was just starting--he was their anchor.  They used to show stuff like Rodeo and field hockey--I remember laughing when he went to a commercial mocking a cycling competition in Utah (or something similar--I made that up) and I laughed.  I told my dad, "We may have us a new anchor when we get back from commercial."  When they came back from commercial, Berman was looking very serious and he said, "Any comments by me do not reflect the views of ESPN....The men and women who cycle are dedicated athletes and we are honored to shine light on their sport." (Paraphrasing).  Dad laughed hysterically. My first memory of him--and that was like 1980.
    • Might not have a team without them. Although that probably applies to the Panthers, too.
