Impressed by CMC yesterday

I attended practice yesterday and was impressed by CMC on multiple levels.

First, his size... he has much more muscle mass than I expected, here's a pic I took of him next to Stewart during position drills:

Second, his between to tackles running and agility. Watching him go through drills with the rest of our RBs his foot speed and agility is on a different level, even from Fozzy. First snap he took in 11 on 11 was against the 1st team D and he made a cut that broke my ankles just watching. Yes they were wearing shells and playing to contact but he made a cut that left one or more of our first team defenders looking for their jock strap and I don't think he was even touched.

I had some doubts about CMC and the jury is still out (as it is with any rookie) but I walked away from practice yesterday thoroughly impressed.

I'm sure he'll get his "welcome to the NFL" moment from one or both of them when the pads go on. 

surely.  I'd be disappointed if Luke & TD don't manage to frustrate him badly at times.  But I do expect CMC will win a few matchups, and we won't have to wonder is CMC good or are our LBs bad.  We know what we've got in our LBs, and if CMC can win a few of those matchups, whoa boy.

I think we've got a fantastic situation where Luke & TD will make CMC better, and CMC will sharpen Luke & co,

Yeah, was just thinking the same thing - CMC is in a fantastic situation as a rookie getting to hone his craft against the best LB duo in the league and from a defensive perspective the only kind of HB we've struggled against are the shifty/speedy kind like CMC so this will be great exposure for Luke, TD and the rest of our defense.

He's the same size as LeSean McCoy, if not bigger. I never got the "he's too small" argument.

Well it's not like McCoy doesn't have an injury history.

I never bought into the size thing anyway, it's how tough a guy is. You can be on the smaller side and not be subject to injury.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ's completion % was 63% when starting games in Carolina.  Which I believe is better than Bryce when starting.  And again, 4-3 as the starter here and the LONE QB Carolina has been able to actually win with in the Tepper era.  If you ask a gambling gunslinger to come into blowouts.....they are going to go down in a blaze of glory.  Which he would do.  Yeah, he isn't good.  And gunslingers are supposed to have rockier stats than checkdown QBs.   So....why does PJ Walker have a better comp % as a starter than Bryce Young.  And for every knock you want to make about PJ, you can find something or a skillset that PJ does better than Bryce.   I didn't say PJ had good field vision.  He doesn't.  Tell me about Bryce after he comes off the first read lol.  Let me repeat, PJ Walker is not a good QB.  He is NFL depth and an in house arm.  Bryce Young doesn't belong in a convo w/ Jake and Cam.  He belongs closer in a convo with the backup caliber QBs Carolina was forced into playing.  Which isn't just PJ Walker.  But Kyle Allen.  Moore.  Guys like that.

      Oh I see what you meant by memory. I will trust my memory, I have looked a a lot of those ball charts for Bryce and they trend a general pattern. They thing that has changed that I have noticed more recently is the reduction in the bunching of behind or at  the LOS passes over to his right.  Aside from the quantity of throws recently since the running game has become a more dominant factor.

      Yes but you basically said you are going from a quick skim of those charts without doing the same for Bryce and/or Andy. So you are going memory vs. snapshots. That's not going to be a very comprehensive analysis.
