from the horse's mouth...

Jonathan Stewart‏@Jonathanstewar1

Sorry panther fans but it Looks like I'll be missing the game opener this year due to my recent ankle sprain!... http://fb.me/1IK2AawbF

Glad they are being cautious with him. We have d and Mikey.

[Argus Plexus]

Defo want but don't need. Rest up Stew, we're going to need you next week.

I'm alright with this...Tolbert can handle Stew's role at least for this game. Rather have Stewart 100% healthy than risk further injury against a team that we should easily beat.

Hate it. Might have been the sloppy field Zod has talked about that might have made the decision. Nice that we have Dwill now, isn't it?

Dang it Stew, I got a lot of money riding on this game!!

Well that squashes all those spread read option looks Cam became so dangerous with. No other RB has done those with Cam

I think that is a big deal. Willams runs the more traditional stuff. Which he can do.....but the spread looks we near mastered at the end of last year

You mean no one other than Williams in a game and Tolbert in practice, right?

[nosuchthingasapanther]

with the sloppy conditions, i'm more concerned with ball security than i am who is running out of what.

[smitty_89]

its all good, we still have 3 guys that can run the ball

Williams never ran the spread option - zone read stuff last year. People confuse him taking a couple option pitches meaning he did the zone read stuff out of the gun....he didn't.

Stewart did it in college and took all those plays last year.

Stewart is the ideal RB for this team. It hurts. But we have good runners at least. Nothing wrong with saying it stings. That doesn't mean we can't run it down there throats. Running those with Williams isnt smart....better to run him in looks that play to his strengths

[Ruff]

It should be fine. He's definitely an asset, but with a running game like ours, we can still handle it. :D

Stop treating Williams like a scrub
