Well at least McCaffrey has this going for him.. the most successful white RB in recent memory (Ex. Payton Hillis, Mike Alstott ) And even famous ones from yesteryear (Czonka, Riggins) were all damn power backs. So if McCaffrey will be a shifty fast one instead .. that makes him even more unique of a player. yeah i sound like one of those ignorant youtube commenters, but you get what I'm trying to say.

He'll improve with training and technique work.  But at best, he'll still probably only be a cut block/get in your way blocker.  However, as an announcer said during a Stanford game "why would you keep a weapon such as McCaffrey in to block? You want him out there as a threat making plays."  That would be like using your brand new Lamborghini to pull your camper on vacation.  

Sure, there will be times he needs to stay in to block, but probably 90-95% of the time he is in the game he'll be used as a weapon or diversion.

Today was the first day to observe Christian McCaffrey in pass protection drills. Lined up 1 on 1 versus a Linebacker of safey, CMC's job was to keep them away from the "quarterback". 

 

He didn't do so well against the linebackers. Out muscled my Mayo and just out played by Cash.

McCaffrey did far better against the safety McCray, someone more his size.

This is a starting point for McCaffrey. The goal will not be to improve on this as camp continues on into the preseason. He won't reach his full potential as far as playing time until the coaching staff is confident in his pass blocking.

      fug the HATERS

      By t96 · Posted

      We agree here dawg. I'd love for Bryce to succeed as would all huddlers. I have not seen a single huddler hate Bryce for anything other than his play on the field / potential / skillset. He hasn't gotten any of the irrational hate having nothing to do with football that Cam got. And yeah I understood going into this season with Bryce again as there weren't a ton of options, but man we missed the fuging mark on upgrading at backup QB with someone who could actually push Bryce. Bryce had zero pressure on him with a 100% washed up Dalton being the only other NFL caliber QB in the system. That absolutely needs to change this offseason. Ideally with an actual starter upgrade but that seems extremely unlikely due to not having many FA options and a bad draft. But at the very least with someone like you mentioned, young/upside and/or day 3 pick in the draft.   Another note, we have a top paid and top performing OL, great young talent at WR incl. likely OROY, great RB group, average all around TE group, offensive coach with creativity in the system and good play designs (poor situational playcalling but still I put out current offensive coaching staff over Shula who held Cam back for instance). Not the absolute best situation for a QB to be in, but still a very good situation around him. And yet we have a bottom 8 offense (6th lowest points scored). Imagine taking a victory lap for a QB leading his team to the 6th lowest points scored in the league and the 22nd highest passer rating (despite being asked to do less than many other QBs; i.e. Bo Nix who isn't great either and has a slightly lower passer rating but Sean Payton actually lets him try to throw the ball deep and has him throw significantly more than Bryce).

      similar to Atlanta and the NHL.  Atlanta has lost two NHL teams (and lost a minor leaguer).  Now there's another coalition pulling together another proposal for Atlanta to get an NHL expansion. While I'd like hockey to be back in Atlanta 'cause hockey is fun, I am skeptical that it'll happen based on previous teams' experience here alternatively: similar to Atlanta hosting a Major Tennis Tournament in advance of the US Open every mid/late summer.  Aside from the fact that Atlanta is said to be the country's largest Tennis playing city (with both USTA and ALTA, along with a number of side leagues) - playing tennis outdoors in Atlanta summer is miserable *and* they had difficulty attracting players... ticket sales were not good. So the Atlanta Open closed after 14 years.  They just couldn't make it happen, even if for all intents it appears to be massive tennis interest in the surrounding area.

      Like Kuechly….. still picking off QBs

      So I saw where Luke was doing that show parallel to the game. Whatever it was, statcast something something, knew it would be a good watch. I don’t get ESPN any more but that would be one of the about few things I would watch outside of games.     He doesn’t fool around on the radio broadcast.
