David Newton : "The right running back to complement Christian McCaffrey might look a lot like McCaffrey"

What do you make of this? Is he trying to argue that CMC can be a bellcow? The backs that D. Newton is comparing McCaffrey to (Ladanian Tomlinson for ex.) were around CMCs height but they on average have at least 10-15 lbs more of muscle on them which makes a huge difference running the ball. They also had a much more physical running style than McCaffrey. Newton is trying to make the arguement that Norv has worked in systems where there is an obvious bellcow back for the most part (ex. Emmit Smith, Ladanian Tomlinson, Frank Gore) . He even alludes to the possiblity we could keep CMC, Cap, and Fozzy and have Christian be the main back.. 

I'm not really sure I have much faith in McCaffrey putting on 10-12lbs more going into next season and all of a sudden starting to run much more physical. I think we're going to make a trade up in the 2nd round trading one of our 3rds to move up and get Chubb or Guice.

I’ve been saying for a while now that CMC is the starting back and can be a workhorse in Norvs offense.  He looks and moves like LT did.  The 2 back system in the NFL has faded.  Most teams have gone back to a feature back.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
