Is CMC getting too many carries


NAS

Recommended Posts

Why does Ron  have Armah or Scarlett if he won’t trust them to run the ball in obvious rushing situations when we’re just trying to run the clock down or set up a field goal?  CMC is unnecessarily being exposed to these hits, the wear and tear kn his body. 

27 carries in today’s NFL is ridiculous especially when the guy also caught 10 receptions and is blocking as well. Give him some rest FFS

Yeah it doesn’t seem Ron has learned this from past examples. Problem is I think he’s too scared to get fresh guys in there and have them fumble from jitters. And the longer he sits the back ups, the more anxious and excited their gonna be and the more likely they’ll be to fumble. Then Ron’s gonna pull them and not play them again.

Hopefully the line can start clicking better and we can open things up to our other playmakers in Samuel and Moore. I’m actually fine with McC playing pretty much all the snaps but agree this is too many touches. Doubt they change much though, Norv loves feeding his elite RB. Look at LT’s touches.

We should at least pepper in Scarlett every now and again.  4-6 carries a game and a few targets would be fine.  It's about finding the right moments to bring him in.  Thing is, CMC loves staying in after his own big plays when other guys typically get winded and need a breather.

Remember when we started saying that about Cam his early years. Coaches like running these guys in the ground.

    • Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.
    • Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.
    • I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
