The Blame Game - Reviewing all of Jonathan Stewart's runs

I have seen a lot of talk about Jonathan Stewart being washed up. Well, let us take a close look and see if that is indeed the case. 

 

Welcome to..... 

THE BLAME GAME

I will present for you GIFs of every Jonathan Stewart run from Thursday night. You tell me who is to blame for the lack of production. 

(Please DO NOT quote this post. Just give me the number of the play and who is to blame and why)

1.

My take: Just good defense here. Dickson took the outside man instead of the inside. Not that it would have mattered. 

2.

My take: Larsen was the weakest link on the OL here. Stew had a sizeable hole to his left, would have been nice to cut it that direction immediately.

3.

My take: Half the team is blocking for a screen pass. WTF?

4.

My take: Matt Kalil winds up on his knees. Probably not a good thing. 

5.

My take: Once again, Kalil ignores the outside man. We saw this against the Saints. Could be Dickson's fault, notice he looks left like whoops. 

6.

My take: Turner can't get to the LB fast enough. Kalil pulled down by his jersey. Not that it mattered, defense was swarming knowing it was a run. 

7.

My take: Manhertz completely whiffs, forcing Stew to run left. 

8.

My take: Larsen can't keep 59 from disrupting. Just good fast defense. Not a wise play call running Stewart out wide. That should be CAP or CMC. 

 

Remember, DO NOT QUOTE THIS POST. It takes far too long for the GIFs to load on mobile.

Perhaps simplify the run blocking and add a lead fullback. Also find the best blocking TE you can find in the draft or FA. 

BIN-FUGGIN-GO

The line clearly is confused about what they should be doing. 

 

SIMPLIFY!!!!!

 

I called for this weeks ago.

To me, it seems there are too many moving pieces to these blocking schemes. What happened to putting a hat on a man and moving him off the line? Is out OL really that piss poor that they can't win one on one matchups and move guys 1-2 yards off the LOS??

And, if so, why are we using an old, slow, power style RB trying to force his way forward against defensive fronts who consistently knock our line backwards, on their asses, or just whiff right past them to hit Stewart.

Put CMC and Samuel in the backfield, run the read option with Cam and those 2, and ADAPT to the personnel.

They man handled or OL. Those aren't overly complex runs. Also appears those runs were being stopped almost completely by the front 7.  I think there was 1 play were a safety came in and helped on a tackle already being made.

 

Yes, a FB please!

Every single one of those run plays are garbage.   Terrible play designs that had no chance of succeeding, none of them.  You know why?  Predictable.

Execution. It's not that it's predictable you must be challenged.

It's no secret we want to ground and pound, when we are good, teams know we're going to run the ball and we still do it effectively.

There really isn’t supposed to be anything complicated here. Stuff any o-line should be expected to make.

Yet comically our o-line fails.

      If he tries to do that I have a feeling the league is gonna tell him to butt out.

      Bryce Young is HIM.

      I think you are at a major advantage if you have the ability to run the football as a quarterback. It can mask a lot of issues. Much like RG3, or Anthony Richardson, immediate impact is a lot easier with a running QB. Anthony Richardson already appears to be a bust, despite him turning some heads early last year. Vince Young was a ROY. I do think Jayden is a lot better than a lot of those guys, but I think he's got a fair amount of development to do as well.  Stroud looks a lot better than Bryce, I won't dispute that, but he's taken a very big step back this year off of last year. Houston has a myriad of issues on the offensive side of the ball.  This is just a trend we seem to be seeing everywhere. Very few QB's are pro ready anymore, and just when we are ready to give up on a guy, he does the thing where he becomes competent, (not necessarily good). Sam Bradford, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield, Geno Smith, Jameis Winston, Marcus Mariota, and so on and so forth. The list of evidence is enormous. But to your point, the highest miss rate of any position in football is quarterback. The vast majority of them do not pan out. More than likely, that is the case here.
