Not activating CAP yesterday is baffling

[Nick_81]

I didn't see the inactive list, but I did see that Teddy Williams was in street clothes on the sideline.  Maybe Bersin was up in his spot for special teams, and had nothing to do with CAP?  Fozzy put in that work tho.

it's like there a lot of posters here that think RB by committee is still a thing teams do.

Bersin over CAP is a joke but really I'm done with having Tolbert get carries. 

Only mediocre or bad things happen when you hand the ball to Tolbert.

Even shares aren't as common anymore but more than half of the league rely on multiple backs

I think the coaching staff hasn't forgotten when CAP fumbled on the second play of the divisional playoff against Seattle and Tolbert fortunately recovered it

Not justifying it, just saying

That isn't a committee approach. That's literally the way the league has always been. There's nothing abnormal about it.

We need to sign Karlos Williams before someone else does.

Maybe since he has an A1 Misdemeanor charge on the docket they're assuming he'll eventually have to serve 21 games when another player is caught on video hurting a mother and children committing a similar A1 Misdemeanor offense.  At this point they're just beating the shield to the punch.  Smart.

Thanks for your input, One Trick Pony.

CAP has potential, and made some good plays in the preseason, but is he the kind of back who can carry is even 200 times a season in a committee?

CAP's senior season at Auburn in the Southeastern Conference, he had 300+ carries in only 13 games.

That would be odd considering that Tolbert's fumble in the Super Bowl was infinitely more damaging and it doesn't seem to have affected their attitude towards letting him come in and get his 2 yards per carry.

Bersin does play STs so there is that...still I am not sure Fozzy is going to be getting 100 yards every game he's never shown that type of running ability but was more a 3rd down back...I'd be interested to see what happens next game as the Vikings have really good/athletic LBs.

Bersin is like a spoiled brat to me.. jerry Richardson probably had something to do with his activation at home hmm..

Jerry Richardson doesn't weigh in on who's active, ever. The whole notion is just silly.

And for the record, Bersin was our most sure handed receiver in preseason.

Maybe they thought Stew would be fine

Maybe they didn't activate CAP because they were confident that Fozzy could handle the load in the event Stew went down...

Because he certainly did. 

This.

I am surprised this seems to be such an issue, since we obviously didn't need CAP yesterday.  Now if he is not active next week, then maybe I can understand the concern.  But given that we had a great rushing attack yesterday, it seems like a trivial thing to be concerned about.
