CMC won't get rookie of the year stats over Kareem Hunt and Fournette because of the headstart. 

It would have been a moot point if Deshaun Watson didn't get hurt. 

 

Just be happy we got some success and that we continue to improve towards the playoff.  The fact that he is a weapon is undeniable.

Provided Shula continues to run him outside the tackles.... 

 

That isn't a given. 

I think like yesterday if you move more to a spread attack and force defenders to cover the deep bay he can run both. Samuel and Funchess made ATL commit more to coverage and that loosened the run game.

Seems like Kareem has slowed down a little bit. Getting Olsen and Byrd back will open things up even more for our offense. With Now with Watson out of the picture, it's wide open for CMC to challenge Hunt and Fournette down the stretch.

Don't forget A. Kamara on that list. It causes great discomfort naming a player from Aints and is nauseating..

Bingo... which makes me think that the Panthers are the one that shut the banner down.... so Shula had a "Prove It" game

Maybe but losing KB did work. It also worked because ATL can't just commit a LB to McCaffrey. So it's a difficult game when you have Samuel, Cam, and McCaffrey on the field. That all changes when you trot out Stewart. We become one dimensional and teams know it's a run on first down. Stewart is effective just not on first down.

CMC has some major obstacles to pass for OROTY. Even with Hunt coming back down to Earth, he still leads all RBs in yards and broken tackles. Then you have Leonard Fournette who has been an absolute beast, and then you start to add Kamara in the mix as well. CMC will have to explode big time in the 2nd half of the season to have a chance.

Regardless though, CMC is legit and looks to be hitting his stride. Wish he would just start already. God knows this offense flows better with him in the game.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
