I'm betting Stewart gets injured more easily as time passes...this is the first time he's missed significant time, and with feet/ankle/leg injuries, at a position like running back, that's where they make their money.  It'd be almost impossible for Stewart to be consistently what he was, and as soon as we can figure out a means of jettisoning his contract, the better.  This will hopefully mean the end of drafting running backs early unless they're truly a once-in-a-generation player, but hopefully where this franchise begins picking means that sort of talent more than likely won't be available.  Fortify the oline and it becomes nearly irrelevant who we have at rb, for if we can get enough of a black-and-blue-truckin' crew going, any rb could have success.

 

You're right ankle injuries can be nagging for a RB. But he had surgery on both ankles and from everything I've seen they were very effective. In some cases he possibly could come back stronger than before.

 

I hope he can get back out there and finish out the season.

 

DWILL is not gonna get the job done. He was absolutely horrible on first downs against STL and in the 1st Q of every game. I know that the o-line plays a part in this as well, but sometimes your RB has to make a guy or two miss.

He has had a resurgent year though, he's been very effective .

Very effective?

He has been decent. OL isn't doing him any favors but he can't break tackles and lacks the burst to really take it outside....

we need another element to the run game...someone who can create more on their own bc this line isn't going to set anyone up

I don't think he can stay away from injury long enough to prove he's a #1 back for us

Williams is a roleplayer getting extra carries. We aren't looking for a #1 RB....we are looking for improved running overall. Stewart doesn't need to be a #1

And thats Stewart?

Pretty sure Stewart has a long history of being able to create.....it is why PFF has him as the most elusive RBs most years.

Elusive in terms of.... He can get by the first defender and find positive yards. The negative runs in traffic with Williams hurt.
