Is CMC getting too many carries

[NAS]

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

I don't disagree.

I don’t disagree. He needs to be In the game, but we use him in situations that we should clearly be using rb2 in.

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.

I’m pretty sure norv dictates who goes in on offense. That’s how it works for all offensive coordinators.

When CMC is even ON the field it makes the defenses have to automatically account for him.  I don't feel like Ron wants to give that benefit up on any given play.

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. 

[Forty-Eight]

Norv is and idiot 

[onmyown]

He is for more than just rest. If defenses take him out or he had a down game we are completely helpless. Kind of when Ron relies on Cam so much...it should never come down to one player.

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

I don't think it's a Ron thing. I think it's a Norv thing. Ron used to use DeAngelo and Stewart together. Then Stewart and Tolbert. We always had two running backs until Norv took over and couldnt figure out how to use both CMC and CJ Anderson

[TheRumGone]

Scarlett needs a couples carries in a game to see how he does.

Start putting Scarlett and CMC in the backfield together so at least there's a threat.Run more jet sweeps and end arounds with Curtis and DJ.
