Seemed to play better today but still one or two times where his lack of shake was head-scratching, like the one instance in the 4th quarter where he ran straight at the defender when it seemed a quick cut to the inside would have yielded a 1st down.

I'm still trying to figure out how he looked so much better rushing in this game than the other games. He seemed to be in the backfield alot more and I think he had a personal career high 15 carries , he could definitely be benefiting from simply getting more touches and seeing more snaps at RB, probably alows him to get more into a rythm running. 

One thing I notice is that he's not wasting as much time getting cute with dancing behind the line . I see more 1 or 2 cut and go, or just hit the whole and get the yards while he can. He also seemed to have more carries that were either outside runs or at least directional inside runs. 

We really should be using him alot more like the Saints are using Alvin Kamara; pass to him alot, use him on pitches, outsides runs primarily and occasionally on directional runs between the tackles.  

We'll have to see if he continues rushing the ball well in the future.

He's a rookie still adjusting to the speed of the game.  I think this was a breakout game though

maybe in the sense that he seemed to be running much better. But from an overall perspective he still didn't crack 100 yards receiving, rushing, or in total yfs. I'd say it was a pretty decent performance in general, and considerable improvement over his past rushing performance.

    • It goes deeper than that for me. When I started watching the Panthers as a kid I fell in love with Mark Fields’ story during that SB run. He wore #58. Then TD wore it and kept the tradition of the being the soul of the Panthers. The next time someone wears #58 I hope brings that same spirit 
    • T-Mac is a nickname, Tet is a shortening of Tetairoa. Like you said below... your name is Jonathan, I could see "Jonny" being considered a nickname, but Jon isn't a nickname, it's a shortening of Johnathan, see the difference? And if your mom named you Jonathan for it's biblical significance/meaning, because she was very religious, I think it would be different. T-Mac is Polynesian, so much in their culture has deeper meaning for them, particularly names.  So for his mom to feel this way, I highly doubt it's just because she likes the name Tetairoa and not Tet, it's much more likely than not to be because the name itself has a deeper meaning in their culture.   Particularly as T-Mac himself has often talked about how much his Polynesian heritage means to himself and his family. And no, I'm not saying all this because of how much he's my guy, if he was just "normal american" and his name was Jonathan and he didn't like fans calling him Jon, I'd probably just say tough poo.  It's that he's Polynesian and I know things like names have a much deeper meaning in their culture than they do in ours for the most part. For whatever it's worth, a quick google search.......
