Deangelo Williams

deangelo was held back in my opinion to keep him from receiving those perks and bonuses after he hits certain milestones.

Tolbert is a beast no doubt but he is older and on the downside of his career.

Tolbert is 27 years old.

build up that trade value.

People are going to skewer me for it probably - but if I had my choice we keep a restructured DWill and Tolbert with Stewart as the odd man out.

I feel like a backfield with Tolbert / DWill is more dynamic and can break a game open more quickly. Plus Stewart, for all his undeniable toughness, seems to have a lot of trouble with his wheels. He's younger but I think DWill can be more productive for a longer period...especially with his relatively low mileage b/c of splitting carries.

Since when is Stewart injury prone?

As soon as we go back to a more conventional running game, Deangelo looks like his old self again. I think as long as Chud leaves he will restructure. If he was playing for Denver, Houston or Washington right now he would be All Pro again. I still don't know why Rivera/Chud changed from our zone blocking scheme to begin with. The one thing we could do was run the ball. When Mike Tomlin went to Pittsburgh he didn't change them from a 3-4 to his 4-3 defense because that was there strength. That's coaching intelligence vs coaching arrogance. Thank you Chud

Oops, Yes this. I'm dumb.

For some reason seeing him questionable for games so often this season made me think otherwise I guess. Didn't realize he's only missed 2 games before this year.
