Our Run Game, What Is The Problem With This?

[beastson]

Kalil, Norwell, Larsen, Trai, Williams, Moton, Dickson, Olsen

Cam Newton, 1 RB and Armah (who wasn't active) or 1 RB and Funchess out wide

This should have been our gameplan today especially if Cam has an injured thumb. Seriously what is the problem with that

Opponent doesn't respect our passing game nor should they. Run game has no chance.

[TheRed]

The OL could be much better, but these awful Stewart up the gut running play calls happen ever week and kill drives consistently.

[t96]

McCaffrey I think has 6 carries 60 yards. He should have 15 carries by now.

I think Stewart still has a little left in the tank, but he shouldn't be relied upon to be the lead back, especially behind the current OL.  Too many times this season when he gets the call up the middle he kills drives like you cited, or at best he slows the momentum of the offense.

It's because half this picture wasn't activated today

 

We're making a big mistake not activating Armah. Shula has lost his mind. WE need more fullback lead runs... more strong and i-formation. Deactivate Fozzy. That's one problem right there.

McCaffrey averaged 8.9 yards per carry on 7 carries. Stew averaged 1.7 yards per carry on 15 carries (over double the amount). 

Both Cam and the coaching staff are under utilizing are best weapon. and keep trying to jam a square peg in a round hole with Stewart.

We got 145 on the ground in large part to McCaffrey and the big end around by Clay. Cam only averaged 3.1 yards per carry to go along with stew's 1.7. 

[Hoenheim]

McCaffrey had 97 yards from scrimmage and funchess had 108 . Very very clear who our playmakers are . Cam , Funchess, McCaffrey, and Clay in that order.

If Clay can actually learn how to catch it'll be nice. he's got all the speed and agility we need.

1. No FB.  Remember how good they looked last game when Armah was in

2. Lack of deep threat at WR.   Even though the passing game is getting going more.  There still has been little to none over the top explosive deep plays that the Defense has to pull guys back just of the threat.  Instead teams still can stack up the box

[Castavar]

Slow as hell Stew + Shula + no Armah + no WRs = stuffed run game

This coaching staff is straight retarded. I find it hard to believe that they couldn't inactive some scrub so Armah could be active. It just gets ridiculous how many stupid decision this staff makes.

Maybe they weren't trying to show their full hand before the Saints game, but I'll believe that if I see Armah next week.

J-Stew is slow to hit the holes, we need to give CAP more carries.

I think you must be reading my mind. I agree with everything you said in this post. 

Not only would Armah help the run blocking , but he also has shown the ability to catch the football and make something happen in space. 

[JARROD]

What was everyone thinking? Shula called really nice run games the last couple games, a lot of mixed runs and tosses that helped remove predictability.

that worked so well that it was back to normal today,.. Shula has to be Shula,...

 What kills me is no matter whether he's good or not they will still sit  him and if he doesn't get something going immediately they sit  him. why aren't they doing the same thing with Stuart he has caused Plenty of slowdowns in momentum   During the game and it doesn't turn around when the game is on the line he will still let you down I'm so over him. Stop giving the goddamn ball to Stewart  goodness gracious knowing how Cam is yeah have to get in a rhythm you have to progress or else we can't come back.  In Stu is one of the things that slows us down so much more goddamn I wish we traded him
