Will CMC come back heavier/stronger for 2018 season?

I'm kinda curious to what most people think on here. He averaged over 4 yards per carry the 2nd half of the season so I'm expecting his running ability to improve to some degree . But I've always been thinking that even at the very end of the season he is still dearly missing the power element to his game.

I mean, he doesn't have to be as strong as an ox or anything like Stewart is. But even if you are a lighter/speed back it still helps massively if you can bounce off or shrug off weak tackles which is something I never saw CMC do in an entire seasons worth of work.

He weighed in at 205 to start the season but no idea where he is now. I'm hoping he could get up around 218 or 220 would help him quite a bit, but I wonder if he just wants to stay at the super light weight. Hes been running with an ultra elusive style and a WR like body for forever, I think he should have plenty of incentive to try to change but who really knows if it'll happen.

I also wonder where he'll be in the RB hierarchy once the new season starts, especially if we get rid of Stew. I'm very very curious to see how he would do with a heavier workload (20- 25 carries) because he maxed out at like 15 carries last year and only had 10 or more carries in 3 measly contests. 

Its undeniable what he contributed as a slot WR was very valuable , I'm just wondering if he'll become a good RB or not.

I think 220 is too heavy for his frame and playing style. 210ish seems about right to me.

He could be near 210 now .. he started at 205 at the very start of the season.

I say at least 215 is the magic number . Kamara/Hunt were 216-218 last season

Yeah but those guys can actually put their head down and fight for yardage while CMC is basically a poor man's Chris Johnson who goes down quick unless he makes a move.

that long run against the Jets still makes me wince. he gave up an easy TD to cut back inside for no reason and got tackled. he did that a lot. hope someone teaches him.

Hopefully a year in the NFL has shown him that he can't always cutback to get additional yardage. He could in college, but the guys in the NFL are simply better, faster, and more disciplined. Sometimes you just have to stay the course and get everything you can get. His issue was that he was ALWAYS looking for the cutback and defenders knew it and were waiting for it. If he mixes it up and doesn't look for it so often he'll find it available more often.

He probably lost weight throughout the season. A lot of players do. It's hard for a lot of guys to maintain weight during the season.

He's never going to be a bell cow running back. Hopefully Norv will utilize him in the passing game with a few runs thrown in to keep defenses honest. Let's not try to make him something he's not.

A lot of people tried to say the same about guys like Tiki Barber and Warrick Dunn. CMC is basically the same size as Barber and quite a bit bigger than Dunn.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
