Has Stewart killed our running game?

Rhythm my ass.

Whatever we did in 2011 with Chud, do that again.

Yeah... OLine plays a role in this as well

[fieryprophet]

We played a game against a good 49ers defense and against a Patriot team that put 8 or 9 in the box, trying to force Cam to beat them with his arm (he did.)

The run game will be fine.

DWill just isn't as effective with this banged up o-line.  Tolbert and to some degree Stewart are much better suited to get tough yards with little blocking.  But for some reason since Stewart came back DWill seems to be getting all the touches.

Chris Scott getting hurt killed our running game...stewart is just fine but we need to pick a back and just go with him. we sub way way too much

I actually like Deangelo, I just wish he'd keep his legs moving and break a few tackles here and there. I've seen him just drop a few times this year instead of fighting for the extra yard or two.

That pass on the last drive against the Pats where he spinned off that defender and jumped forward for a few extra yards was nice. I want to see that DWill more often.

Our cruddy oline is hurting the run game. Amini was great in the run.

There is such a thing as too much of a timeshare. RB is a rhythm position. I could see it. It's time to hurt one of these guy's feelings and unless Deangelo gets rid of the tunnel vision he's had the past few weeks, it probably needs to be him.

 

if there's a case stew killing our run game this is it. "feeding the hot hand" is something of a cliche, but i think there's something to letting a guy get settled in and in a rhythm. 

 

also our running backs have one rushing touchdown and 60 yards/game since chris scott went down. it's a small sample size and we've faced great defenses, but still i don't think that's a coincidence.

Deangelo is seemingly so erratic. He either sees the field as well as any player in the game and will run all over a team, or he will have stretches where he will consistently run into the back of his own guys at the line.

 

I don't see whats wrong with letting one guy be a bellcow any given week and giving Tolbert the ball when they need a breather during said game.

 

It's a long season, it doesn't hurt to have a pair of fresh legs behind whoever the "feature" back is rather than trying to ensure we give all 3-4 guys touches every single week. It's been hard to establish a rhythm.

Lol we are down to like our 64th string guards, have our best run blocker having missed the past two games, which were a team with a great run defense and another team that stacked the box with 8 men. Our run game isn't dead. You'll see.

[KillerKat]

3-4 guys bust through into our backfield and stop the runner, but it's the RB's fault.

 

Got to love huddle logic.

Hartsock being injured has killed our run game.

D Will has had a huge drop off in recent weeks. He is back to his old self dropping the second he even senses contact. The only way Stew is hurting our running game is because hes actually not getting more carries than D Will. Its no coincidence when D Will gets the ball he constantly struggles to get past the line of scrimmage while J Stew fights for atleast 3-5 yds. I hate to say it, but D Will has been failing the eye test in recent weeks
