Torrey's not getting behind anybody though.

If he doesn't start doing so soon, defenses will have no reason to respect him as a deep threat.

It’s unusual. He’s great in the intermediate and shorter levels thus far. Gets open, runs good routes, and press release is solid. Just weird that down deep he’s not getting open.

Running game = Temop of the game 

Atlanta: 10 drives with 7 being 2 mins or more & 2 punts ( other 2 where in end of 4th qtr for running out clock) Winner

Carolina: 11 drives with 5 drives under 2 mins  & 4 punts. Loser

CMC excels at  playing WR more than running back. Is this not a reasonable conclusion? He nets 1.2 yards after contact. That does not make you a good running back =( 

1.2 yards after catch.  Where did you get this and is that over his career or just this season?  It seems to me that he is well above 1.2 for this year with all the broken tackles I have witnessed.  Please back this up for the first two games this season.  Last year don't matter to me.  It's a new season.

He averaged 2.12 yac last season, that went up quite a bit in the second half of 2017. I'm sure its higher now as well.

Kaseclosed has had hate on for cmc since he was drafted. Unfortunately for him there are many more believers than doubters of cmc

We can all agree Atlanta had more offensive success, duh duh duh,..and we can all agree Atlanta was more effective running the ball,.. duhh some more,..

Atlanta having longer drives was a product of the chunk plays, which I’ve pointed out, 7 total runs the first half,.. 4 of those more than 10 yards.

2nd half until 31-17, 16 total rushes, and 6 for more than 15 yards,.. and 3 for more than 20, one more than 30.

that was the contributing factor to our losing.

Carolina limiting half that number of big plays would have caused us to win the game.

atlanta controlled the clock,, but for reasons apparently through fact it’s impossible for you to understand.

we all hate losing— agreed.

but I’d rather be a Fluffer than and Dildo— thanks for pointing out the difference.

CJ still needs to be used more.

Yes in short yardage and to eat up time when we are in the lead but generally cmc is the bigger weapon

I’d argue he should be used early to loosen up the D....and even tho that pick was completely on CJ don’t stop throwing him the ball. This offense is pretty predictable based on personnel 

[ForJimmy]

How many rush attempts per game is Cam taking? We have a QB that’s going to get his attempts in plus Anderson. A lot of CMC’s “receiving yards” are just quick passes out to him in space which has the same effect as a rush attempt. If we gave him 20 actual rushing attempts plus Cam’s  attempts, plus Anderson’s attempts, plus CMC’s quick pass receptions we would be running the ball a majority of the time and not have s balances attack on offense.

So he should get as many snaps as cmc? Or more ? I don’t agree because he’s one dimensional while cmc is versatile and unpredictable

So what your saying is that RBs running the ball and wearing down the defense is not same as RBs catching the ball & dinking /dunking. It doesn’t matter if they are chunk plays or not they stay committed to an actual run game that wore down Carolinas defense. It’s all about the # of attempts, they got lucky and got multiple 10 yds but even if they didn’t  getting 3-4 yards on those plays would have still  kept their offense on schedule. The real benefit was the ability to setup  PA and open the passing game for them something a tradition run game does.

CMC dump off game is not an equal substitution for a traditional  running game.

 

Running attempts: 

Falcons: 32

 Carolina: 18

Just to be clear, im not saying he can't play rb. Im just saying he would be more effective as a slot WR. There is no doubt in my mind he would be a 1000 yard WR if he moved over full time. Every time I see him catch a ball he reminds me of Wes Welker.

 

    Are you sure you want to limit McC in that fashion? 1000 yards from the slot sounds good. And a lot of folks would be happy with that.

 

    Now here's the rub. What if we let him get say 800 yards rushing, and 800 yards receiving? Can you see where his value would go up based on the addition yards he brings to the table. 

 

    If you put McC in the slot. You are putting a limit on his effectiveness.

I think 60-40 cmc is proper and that’s skewed because they can both be out there. They should def do that more and like I said. I know that INT was ugly but keep throwing it to CJ
