Analysis: Breaking Down Every Christian McCaffrey Carry From Last Night

Recommended Posts

Christian McCaffery is going to be someone special in this league. He proved he still has that same quickness he showed in college, and the ability to run between the tackles with his excellent vision and patience.

In the following link, a detailed analysis is presented. I highly recommend everyone view:

Breaks down every play, the situation, and lots of other variables in great detail.

I just hope he doesn't get beat up out there. Ole buddy look tiny among those grown men. He still hasn't learned how to block properly. Keeps putting his head down. Overall he is a great change of pace scatback

The kid averaged more than 4 yards per carry and runs his way between the tackles his own way. His running style lets him get the hard yards like any other power RB.

He is NOT a scatback. He is an NFL runningback. Those of you who assume he can't take that fulltime role just show how much you've actually watched McCaffrey.

A scat back is not a downgrade. Scatbacks are known to be quick and elusive. Cmc does not have break away NFL speed. Cmc does not rely on power to break tackles. Cmc is horrible at blocking LBers that are blitzing. Cmc is great at catching passes out of the backfield and runs routes better than all of our WRs.  He is not a full time RB. The dude is tiny as fug bro. Even at Stanford cmc took a game off because he said he was extra sore from the previous game. Not an injury but sore from getting beat up by bigger men. You can lust all you want just come back to reality for a second.

"Doesn't have NFL breakaway speed" 

Uh, what?

Anyways, counter every point made here then. I watched every bit of film from his 2016 campaign available on draftbreakdowns. There is no doubt in my mind McCaffrey will take on a full time job just fine:

Warwick Dunn and Curtis Martin weren't big guys either but they both had long successful careers as NFL RB's. CMC can run between the tackles with the best of them.  His best run the other night was right over LG.

To those questioning his height...

IIRC, 

Barry Sanders 5'8

Emmitt Smith 5'9 

Walter Payton 5'10

CMC.  5'11

No one is questioning his height lol. Even our very own Jonathan Stewart is listed as an inch shorter at 5'10, but he's got 20+ pounds on McCaffrey.

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
