I know this has been discussed ad nauseum but why do we keep taking d-will off the field every other series? I understand the two back system but it really doesn't make sense to me. I am not saying that Jonathan stewart is a bad running back, to the contrary, but watching them both it seems like a disservice to keep our BEST playmaker off the field. I know we need to keep him fresh but 14 carries in a game where we kept it pretty close doesn't make sense to me.

I mean I know a 5.3 yds a carry for d-will and a 4.6 yds a carry for Jonathan stewart isnt a huge difference but every time we change from d-will to Stew it looks like a big drop off to me. But yesterday's game with a difference of 2.16 yards a carry was huge and stewart still had 43% of the carries. It is just mind boggling to me.

Also look at the titans. You have chris johnson finally getting the BULK of the carries. Last year he was in this same type of system, yes they were 13-3, but he has alot less bulk on his frame to keep him from serious injury compared to d-will. Put d-will in the type of system to take 70% of the snaps instead of 60% that is adding about 40 more carries to his total of 210. that is still only 250 carries to johnson's 272. I know 230 more yards to his total isnt much but who is to say that that wouldn't make a difference in some of our games, like buffalo, or dallas.

Then we need a coach that will make the decision, not the players.

Apparently that is one of the things wrong with this team. The inmates are running the asylum..

agreed....a coach is the boss, he should make d-will the workhorse. throw him the ball more, get him more carries. He is obviously our biggest threat on the offense, not smith anymore.

If this was the playoffs or even if we were fighting to get in the playoffs, I would say we need to get Williams more touches. But, we're not. Right now, we have to have the long term in mind, and the best thing for long term development is to have them share carries.

This does two things, it gives Stewart more carries to work on his game and improve. It also greatly decreases the chance of Williams being injured or suffering the effects of over use. The rest of our season might as well be next years preseason at this point, it is time to work on player development for next season. I would actually like to see Stewart and Sutton on the field more and Williams less at this point.

I agree, I am not talking about the rest of the season, I am basically talking in retrospect and for next year basically.

      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.
