If Stewart has another Bad Game , Should McCaffrey Get The Nod To Start at Running Back?

ftfy and CMC should get the nod over every other HB for most of the game because of his versatility.

but we are a power run team in philosophy only. we don't have the power to be a real one. the skill set among the personnel that we have isn't best suited for that.

But CAP & CMC can be on the field at the same time  just audible one to slot or dump off this way you can pass or go power run.

Through the last two games here are Jonathan Stewarts stats : 

18 carries 21 yards 1.2 avg
8 carries - 4 yards -0.5 avg
 

Here are McCaffrey's stats : 

3 carries 7 yards 2.3

4 carries 8 yards 2.0 avg

 

Jonathan Stewart got 5x more carries in game 5  and 2x more carries in game 6, and McCaffrey's still vastly outperforming him even with much lower attempts.  Stew is literally averaging less than 1 yard per carry collectively over the last 2 games. Sure our run blocking is terrible but something has to be done sooner rather than later in my opinion for us to get our running game back . 

I know the coaches seem to be dead set on Stew being the bruiser and taking 75% of the carries every game but I just want to see what would happen if they flip the roles. Someone mentioned in another thread the Patriots last year would sometimes run their smaller shiftier backs for most of the game and then run Blount more in the 4th quarter/late games to tire opposing defenses ot. I say we can at least try the same thing. Get McCaffrey 15-20 carries and 5 catches , maybe having a higher workload will result in him being much more productive than stewart has been. Also him being in the backfield more , makes us more flexible in play action , mccaffrey either blocking or running out the backfield . 

Also I'd play Armah at fullback. He's on the active roster but inexplicably isn't being used. We have 4 rookies drafted high and the coaches are hardly using them. Armah at FB, let Moton have some snaps at RT or LT to see if fhe improves the run blocking,  have Samuel more involved in runs and PLAY HIM OuT WIDE IN DEEP ROuTES , and give CMC much more carries and have Stewart spell him. 

It still boggles my mind some of the better, more intelligent people on this forum still don’t understand positions.

This wouldn’t matter if Shula just went with the hot hand like a normal OC.

I want CMC and Moton at RT.

Agree with the OP about bringing in Stewart in the late 3rd and 4th quarter to finish off a worn down defense.

I also really want to see what 8-10 consecutive snaps looks like for the rookie.

that's what im saying . Alot of RB seems to be establishing a rythm and getting a feel for running, how tf can he do that if he's getting like 4 carries a game and just being sprinkled in there on occasion to run? I want to see them at least try to do that a few times this season to really be able to evaluate his rushing performance. His stats are a bit misleading b/c he gets so few carries and they never come consecutively . Meanwhile Leveon Bell gets 30+ carries against the Cheifs.

This has been a dislike I've had with this franchise for a while is multiple RB's sharing the load instead of just getting 1 star RB
