Stewart is the designated sledgehammer in the Panthers' offense.  He excels at punishing defenders in the hole, yet flashes enough quickness and burst to make nifty cuts in traffic.  The combination of finesse and power makes him a tough runner bring down, especially when the Panthers are using him on a series of downhill runs from one- and two-back formations.  Of course, injuries limited Stewart's production last season, and he's currently on the PUP list while recovering from ankle surgery.  When healthy, Stewart showcases the strength and physicality coaches covet in power runners.  That's why Carolina look to give Stewart the ball on traditional power plays between the tackles or inside-zone runs -- like the one shown in the video clip just above.  These runs allow the running back to keep his shoulders square to the line, while also providing cutback lanes at the point of attack.  Once Stewart returns to action, Shula should use the sixth-year pro frequently on inside runs to soften up the defense.
