Why do they insist in Starting CAP over Fozzy?

Fozzy has outplayed him the last two games as a backup. CAP can't even handle handoffs correctly

 

First. Tolbert ran into Cam on a hand-off as well. Things are off back there.

 

Second. Cap is a better between the Tackles runner. Fozzy is more the outside the Tackles runner. Two different styles. So they are used differently in the run game. However, IMO, the reason Cap gets the start, is because his style fits what we like to do. Ground and pound. Once that kicks in, that is when we start to mix things up.

 

Lastly. Fozzy has 27 carries, and Cap has 18. Fozzy has 18 catches, Cap has 1. So Fozzy is getting plenty of work. Just not the start.

Tolbert is a useless tub of lard.

 

And who cares if he's better between the tackles, he's barely getting any yards. If the outside running is working better we should do it more and start Fozzy  CAP is slow, small and is terrible and handling the ball, when Fozzy started week 2 he didn't juggle ball every handoff.

 

This is the coaches being hardheads and not being able to adapt.

You could try to explain the difference between a workhorse back and a change of pace back.

Or you could just give up and say "screw it".

Yeah CAP is the prototypical work horse back ... Stewart-light 

Fozzy isn't an every down back

Work horse? LOL according to who?

 

Just cause Fozzy is smaller and has actual 4.4 speed doesn't mean he can't carry the load. Jamal Charles doesn't ring a bell?

I agree and what really bothered me was that they gave CAP the start after Fozzy's 100 yard game, when CAP was inactive. Why can't we simply use our players to their strength instead of trying to force something that obviously isn't working and why die it take so long for them to realize that it isn't working? Did RR not say during Preseason that Stewart and Fozzy were locks and the battle for the 3rd spot was between CAP and Wegher... I don't get it
