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(Please DO NOT quote this post.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Remember, DO NOT QUOTE THIS POST.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.

      Joe Person: Andy Dalton will 'get another crack' as starting QB

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Rumors I've read, and just watching Young and the  play calling, seems to indicate that Canales does not believe in Young …at all ..maybe he was  told by  owner, gm, etc that the franchise is moving  on …Or maybe Canales sees the limited plays calls with young under  center i mean, it is all conjecture  …but let’s  face it…126 yards…what more is there to say…yes there were drops but all qbs have those  He needs to do really really well against KC and  even  if he does…might not be enough  i suspect they will either trade him before draft or will draft  a qb and have an open competition   If he stays, it might be as a backup

      Bryce Young is HIM.

      I would argue this has literally always been the case for almost the entire existence of the NFL. There are substantially more busts than hits, across all rounds. I would say also that there doesn't appear to be much evidence for college quarterbacks being less prepared than before. Certainly in some cases they are vastly underprepared but that has always been the case.  I would definitely make the argument that in every single major sport that athletes are VASTLY more experienced than 20, 30 and more years ago. A lot of that is due to earlier specialization in sport(versus just playing all the sports from K-12), DRAMATICALLY more reps and practice(travel ball, summer leagues, etc) and far greater access to specialized training(most high end players/prospects have specific trainers even before college). All of these things were not readily available decades ago. So the theoretical "10,000 reps" are being hit far, far sooner for most younger athletes. As for the argument for "gimmick offenses" being a problem. I mean....think about how prevalent things like the triple option were in the 70's, 80's and even 90's. Or just offenses in general that were absolutely extinct at the NFL level.  I think there are some general issues with certain positions and the development cycles in college but overall, the development in college has actually improved tremendously. The thing is, it's never going to improve enough to where you are just getting insanely high hit rates on prospects or large percentages of draft picks immediately playing like 8 year veterans. It will never really work like that.

      Yeah sure some teams are not gonna want to have to recruit a QB like its college BUT you got add in desperation. One team WILL fall in love and go after him. A HC or GM on the hot seat will look past deion and draft him.
