Ouch. Rough game for Stewart. No offense to the guy, he's been an excellent NFL RB for a long time, but he looks like the least effective back on this team. He really looks bad. It's a lot to pay for a cool uncle.

The worst part about bringing in Stewart is that he will be hard to get rid of. The veteran entitlement-effect is alive and well.
If he has to stay they should put him bottom of the depth chart and not play him. Honestly he has not earned a spot. Every other RB on this team has shown more.

3 carries for -7 yards and a lost fumble.
And he looked like a tiptoe burglar doing it

Dude is going to average like 5 carries or less a game and we’re getting worked up over here. Barkley is the MAN and the Workhorse who will get the bulk of the carries. Gallman will give him rest and Stewart is there for depth. The third stringer is not expected to be an all pro full time back. That’s going to be Barkley. I was hoping Stewart would provide something in the RZ but forget it. The offense is starving for some TD so they’ll need to keep Barkley in.
Stewart is just too slow to bounce it outside when the interior breaks down. Almost all RB would’ve gotten eaten alive the way Stewart did. That’s why you use the 2nd pick on Barkley. He’s quick enough to bounce it outside and make things happen.

The first team oline sucked last night not one of the RBs looked good because of the that. The second team olin looked better overall

The pass blocking was very good the run blocking was awful.

Come on Bronx you are too observant to ignore that. You watched it the center of the line (GCG). They can't Run block. I will say our tackles looked good.

I get it, but...they sucked at one facet of their game. If an RB only has 30 yards rushing, but has 80 yards receiving you don’t say he sucked. You say his rushing game was off.

This the problem I see and Detroit started to do it 2 weeks ago . The middle of the D was coming on every play . If DCs know the center of our line is weak . The QB no matter who is playing can't step into his throws . If the middle of the line is an onslaught . The pocket will collapse as it has been the past 2 games. The QB is not going to be able to step up .(Where he needs to be) The bad result is , he has to hang back, role out , bootleg and be exposed to the edge rush. Problem 2: the center of the field in that 5-20 yard range is now not an option. Too many guys on your side of the line of scrimmage to throw over. That needs to get fixed not just for the running game.

The coaching staff did a good job of keeping the QB moving and rolling in order to help the offensive line. The coaches did a nice job there.

I agree but that is short term fix (In game adjustment solution) I just do not see much success if this pattern continues.

It’s a game of adjustments and this is a necessary one. Hopefully it ain’t forever but it’s clearly necessary at this time.

Always nice when you sign an old slow RB to a bad contract and then have to trade away your best backup OL to save money on the cap.
