Anything faster than 4.45 in the 40 at the rb position is just silly. You need a guy who does have that quick burst and ability to get to top speed quickly, but if he's falling on first contact, it doesn't matter. Defenses are so fast now, you need a guy like Stew or Stew Jr, aka CAP.

Panthers running a screen play to a running back? Inconceivable!!

Using Tolbert as our main screen back really blows my mind. He'll get us 5-7 yards on that play but we only use it at a maximum 2-times per game.

Pitches to Stewart worked really well when they were used, but they were only used about 3 or 4 times all season...in fact, there were more reverse-trickery play to Ginn than outside pitches to our feature back.

What the reasoning behind the lack of swinging the pitch more often is beyond any reasoning I can manage, unless Stewart's hands are the reasoning.

i remember us living off of WR quick screens when we had Smitty, but those types of plays aren't in Shula's playbook and I can't see a reason why CBrown can't have success with those types of plays at least once or twice per game unless we just don't have good blockers to make these types of plays possible.

when teams stack the box with 7-8 players and running blitz after blitz, using WR screen passes would make defenses at least respect the possibility of quick-outs.

I think we're hoping CAP can be that guy, but we need to start thinking about a replacement for Stew. 

Derrick Henry and Zeke Elliot are talented no doubt, but with the depth we see at HB in the draft each year and the production teams are able to get out of later round guys I think it's a waste to use a high pick on the position unless you think one of those guys is a generational talent like AD or Gurley (still early, but wow).
