Rham's gotta go. Seeing him go may also have beneficial effects on others on the team who can't seem to get their acts together. pour encourager les autres
French, eh? Nice to see a fellow nerd showing out.
 
Im usually a glass half full kinda guy, but Rham has proven himself to be a chronic fumbler. Need to move him at some point.
If we're not at that point now, I don't know what to say.
 
Fumbling is correctable. Faulk and Tiki famously had these issues but coaching corrected it. Stevenson is a good player but coaches need to make it a habit for him to hold the ball high and tight to his body.

If he was a talent like Barkley or McCaffrey it'd be worth trying to work thru it but he's just a guy, Rhamondre Stevenson level backs grow on trees almost every team in the NFL has one and you don't need to really invest in them he's not dynamic he's the type of guy you draft in the 3rd/4th round use for 3/4 years then get a new one.

You don't pay backs like him.
 
I actually think if Vrabel is really serious about there being consequences for non-performance, and if he is actually serious about building a new culture, he will cut Stevenson as a message to the rest of the team. He's more valuable as a object lesson than he is as a player.

Yeah I mean at some point you gotta remind everyone that this is a job and you're accountable for your performance.
 
Defense figured something out first two drives.
 
Trade Stevenson for a bag of beans at this point, I am just done with seeing him carry the ball.
Bag of beans would be overpay at this point.
 
Read the room, Ian. We're pissed.
If Vrabes doesn’t rip his ass post-game I’m concerned.

Thing is…he’s not TRYING to fumble. He seems to just be incapable of holding on through contact
 
Stevenson got a fair amount of support from Vrabel when it came to his fumbles. Guessing that comes to an end after today.
Seem to me that Vrabel is ok with it because i wouldn’t have played him again after the 1st one

Yeah, he never seems to put two hands on the ball when he sees contact coming
 
I still say Vrabel's decision to go for it on his own 15 was reckless and a sign about his lack of confidence in the team

You don’t go for it on 4th and 1 on your 15 down by seven midway through the second quarter unless you have faith in your offense.
 
Rham led the NFL in fumbles last year. Hes leading the league again after today.
 
he didn't bench him long enough...It's a problem. He shouldn't see another snap today
He put him back out there as a receiver, which I didn't hate but I'm surprised they ran him. And even more surprised, frustrated, he coughed it up twice in one game. Went from possible redemption with a TD with his status now uncertain.
 
Gibson has fumbled now

What a clown show this team is, this is like Browns type things.
 
JUST ONE TD AND WE ARE BACK IN IT, FFS
 
You don’t go for it on 4th and 1 on your 15 down by seven midway through the second quarter unless you have faith in your offense.
Play call of a pitchout was also hyper risky.
If he has faith in his offense that was misplaced
 
This team man.
