A Jonathon Stewart Stat...

[*FreeFua*]

@PFF: #Panthers RB Jonathan Stewart has forced 17 missed tackles this year (T1st with DeMarco Murray). On just 28 total touches

Although his yards may not be up there, he's literally doing as much as he can with what he's presented with. The line has not done a good job with opening lanes for him. His TD run was a thing of beauty, I've loved watching a healthy Stewart play so far this year.

Good God.

[La Pantera]

He's doing a lot of work after contact. He's earned every yard.

[Lemory]

If the O-line can just get it together on the run blocking, we might just have something.

[rscott94]

Yeah the Line is doing good in pass protection but suck ass in run protection 

[@bobbyagnese]

BANGBANG.

[Mol3m4n]

He ran hard the other day. Just a swarming defense.

We need to stop trying this smashmouth running and try to run out of some spread sets where we aren't telegraphing our intentions.  Until our Oline proves its capable of lining up and bulldozing a defense we should stop running plays that require them to do so.  Hopefully once they get a few games under their belts things will improve but at this point it really looks like wishful thinking every time we call a running play right up the middle.

[O-Ther]

Amini coming back from season-ending injury, Byron and Nate switching positions, and a rookie being rotated in and out with Fernando.

 

Facing Pro-Bowler DTs McCoy week 1 and Donkey Kong week 2.

 

Plus Cam being banged up, Buc and Lion coaches naturally loaded 8 men in the box to take away the run and make us beat them with Derek's arm and then Cam's arm at less than 100% with all new WR crew (except Olsen)

 

No wonder our run game up the middle has been rough, and not much more daylight on the perimeter, either.

Pittsburgh Swiss cheese line will be like a breath of fresh air for stewie

[twylyght]

Going against two of the strongest interior lines in the NFL will do that for a runner like Stewart

 

[The Huddler]

Yeah but he sucks aparently. He gets hit in the backfield by 3 defenders.. wtf stewart sucks!!

[Mojoman]

I have always believed Stewart is our best running back (when healthy).   Go #28, kick some Pittsburgh a$$. Next game will be his breakout game.

[Mr. Scot]

You have to wrap Stewart up.

 

Too many guys try to do what a lot of the Lions did, just knock him down.  His balance is too good for that.  He'll just adjust and keep going.
