    Ow!

    Man that sucks you have handcuffs for both of your starters ... I'm thinking you lost at least one pick by doing so. You basically have the same problem for both sets. One is the starter and one takes goal line duties, whether you look at Mathews/Tolbert or Williams/Stewart ...

    With that said, I'd go with Mathews/Tolbert only because SD is bound to score more pts than Carolina. Turner has already said they will use a 2 RB approach, which means Mathews for 1st downs/screens. That could mean for long yardage TD and reception pts for Mathews. It also means Tolbert for short yardage and goal line duty, so he'll vulture plenty of TDS like he did last year. Dude is a wrecking ball, he'll score on goal for sure.

    I really, REALLY, hate the Carolina RB situation. It's a terrible offense with a new QB, so they're probably going to play catch up ALOT. Which means they will be throwing often. Williams has more potential for points for a breakout run, but once CAR starts losing, they will start passing and their RB's disappear.

    tolbert will get the goal line touches most likely and j. stew will split carries with deangelo williams evenly like they usualy do,so it depends on what you need touchdowns or touches for rushing yards,personally i wud go with stewart but its a tough call
