Our O-lineman are getting a lot of praise, yet we are terrible at running the ball?

Norwell, Turner, and even Williams seem to be getting a lot praise this year from various sites, yet without Cam we are bottom 5 in rushing yards and bottom 3 in ypc

In every Mccaffrey and Stewart thread everyone blames the line for their lack of production, yet everyone wants us to back up the brinks truck for a gaurd.

So what is it? Do our RB suck or is our line overrated

Before the KB trade, we had the worst run blocking in the league. After, we had the best.

recently, we started losing our WRs so defenses aren’t afraid of stacking the box. Hard to do much in the passing game so lately defenses work against the run with success.

Line doesn't suck, rb's don't suck, it's all the bullshit we do before the handoff... Fakes on top of fakes, on top of fakes. Read option kills any rb star line... Ask DWill... The option plays are destroying our run game

Wasn't there just another thread that said Stew sees more 8 men in the box than any other RB in the league?

I guess Lesean McCoy didn’t get the memo

 

You know basically every good RB gets 8 men in the box. Even the saints RB face a lot 8 man boxes

See @Saca312‘s post above. Second half of the year has been much better run blocking. Not sure about Stewart but McCaffery is averaging 4.7 ypc in the last 8 games.

You mean the second half when the coaches said screw it let’s run Cam 10 times a game 

 

Look at the game logs, Cam was our leading rusher in 5 of the 8 last games . Our running game was still trash outside of the a few games

      Man whether it's the Panthers or the Hornets it's crazy how many foolish talking heads there are in the local media. I just unsubscribed from locked on Hornets. Doug Branson with his cheesy mustache is an absolute clown especially when his partner isn't on. Talking about trading LaMelo because he can't win basketball games by himself with no semblance whatsoever of a legitimate Center. These YouTube personalities will say anything for a damn click.

      Dream big: Imagine this future and tell me how you feel

      I’m hoping for that exact same scenario, two seconds would be big for us. I’d hope for 3 impact players. A WR/DL/DE that can contribute like this current class would be key to our rebuild.

      Forget about Bryce, Dave Canales is who we should be talking about.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      When I look at what I can find, a carryover problem from last season is our receivers are still unable to get enough separation on a consistent basis. Canales is certainly better at scheming them open, like how he sneaked out Thielen for a big play. But then he's also having Thielen running routes he frankly shouldn't be doing anymore. I feel part of the RZ issues is not really having anyone - after trading Diontae - who can make those quick cuts on a short field to give whoever is under center a wider window to throw. We also only have one guy with blazing speed in Thompkins and from what I could see, he's really used more to draw away coverage. I bring this all up because what Canales needs for sustained success - other than QB - is the other receiver pieces we'll be getting in the offseason.  Otherwise, I have to say that Canales isn't as afraid to be aggressive offensively. As others mentioned, still doesn't run the ball enough at times. Finally, I still feel his playcalls still doesn't line up with his mantra of getting rid of the ball within x amount of seconds. Maybe I count too slow. Oh, and I'm glad Canales first game after a bye looked good. I feared he'd be like Ron Rivera where we would fall flat on our faces.
