going to be a legendary duo.

 

at least i hope so. i feel really good about them. i think them with cam and the new beast mode KB are going to be nightmares for OCs around the league.

I'm trying to contain my excitement for CMC because I've been burned in the past not waiting til the regular season. Lettting  my hopes high based on practice and preseason typically doesn't work out but this guy sure seems legit.

Don't be surprised if CMC's total stats early on aren't up to unrealistically high expectations. He's legit alright, way more than that actually, and he's going to be game planned for, spied on, targeted etc. This will open up all of our other options. You won't see Olsen double teamed anymore, for one example. It's his total effect on our offense that will be just as beneficial as the raw stats, which I nevertheless expect to be impressive. Now, pair that with a healthy Samuel on the field...at the same time, which we did see at least once last night. My adrenaline started pumping just typing this.

CMC looks good. that's obvious.

Samuel is going to be rusty and will be a bit up and down to start, but this kid can play. they need to use him right and get him the ball in different ways and in space. if so, he is a serious threat and he will be a guy teams must think about. he will stress de's. and if he gets it going, he will absolutely change the way this offense can play. 

they key is the O LINE.

Jury is still out for me.  I like Samuel's style of play for sure.  But the Jags were obviously keyed in on him last night, and Shula plays poker with his cards facing up, so I don't have much hope for Samuel production until about week 6 after we expose teams with Greg, KB, and CMC.
