Basically the consensus is that CMC is more likely to get it than Kamara b/c of how the Saints are more prone to use 2 backs. IDK if that's applicable now even though they signed Latavius Murray, no one knows exactly how much playing time he's going to get. 

Even though we used CMC a lot last year, we have new blood in the RB room , and its a pretty common belief that DJ and Samuel are going to arrive this season. Couple with Greg possibly being healthy again, I wouldn't be surprised to see more rushing yards from CMC but less receiving yards. 

What do you think?

I think CMC gets it. We have so many weapons now that DC’s won’t be able to just take him out of the game.

It’s scary when your check down deserves the same or more attention than your #1 read. CMC is that guy though.

Kamara had his chance last year when Ingram was out for the first 4 games.  They couldn't run the ball at all until they played the Giants.  Kamara may get 1000 yards receiving before CMC, but he may never get 1000 yards rushing.

Honestly I hope CMC doesn't get it because that would mean Ron is likely overusing the crap out of him. We have RB2 and RB3. If he plays CMC like they played Cam the first part of his career, I don't think we will have him a long time before the injuries start showing up. Not saying CMC isn't a durable guy, but all those hits add up and I'd like to keep him for a while.

A 1, 000 yards rushing?  Yes, but receiving, I would probably think not.  If so that could mean Greg is injured again and/or one, if not both, of our young wide-outs are still struggling to break out.  I can't see CMC getting 1,000 yards in the passing game if he's legitimately splitting touches with 3 other weapons.  Not to mention with his shoulder hurting, Cam undoubtedly checked down more than he really wanted to.  That said, I know the RB in Norv's system is like another WR, but again, last year considering all the variables I just laid out, It was more of a forced issued due to circumstance (Greg/Cam injuries and greenhorn WRs).  CMC obviously has the ability to top that maker, however, I don't see this being a one-man show this season.

I think it's almost a given Greg will be hurt eventually, I hate to say.     I moreso hope we're using Moore/Samuel more etc.

Well, the hope is that CMC doesn't have a 1000/1000 year just simply because the wealth of weapons allows those yards to be spread pretty evenly. If that doesn't happen, or there is a spate of injuries(again) then I could certainly see a CMC 1000/1000 scenario. I think the situation is similar for Kamara, if he ends up as a 1000/1000 guy then something probably went wrong for NO.

I think he gets it on less carries and receptions.  Because with more offensive weapons folks won't be able to key on CMC like they did last year when he was most of the offense. His average yards per carry and yards per reception may well go up.

I think CMC’s best chance at accomplishing the feat came last year. With quite a few weapons on the offense, I still see him eating, but he won’t get 1000 yards receiving.

Kamara won’t come near accomplishing it.

I agree, CMC might get fewer opportunities if Samuel, Moore and the others get more use.  On the other hand, we might see his yp carry/catch go up.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
