So no one else concerned about CMC towards the end of the game?

He is an absolute beast of a player but there comes a huge concern. He's literally in every play. The dude was tired. Of course because of the monster game but wtf is wrong with the coaching staff? Do they not know there are more weapons? If CMC keeps getting over worked like this be may not last long. Norv and Rivera need to understand that the ball can be distributed and not lean so much on CMC. Look what happened to Cam. I'm thrilled about the W's on the record but for fugs sake expand and utilize the other weapons available.

As long as it was just cramps, no.

But if it serves as a wake up call to Rivera and Turner, that'd be kind of a positive.

Well, we also learned that Bon can spell a bit too. Our run blocking today deserves a bit of credit. 

That said, cmc is playing tecmo bowl while defenses are adjusting their rosters for madden 19. Myles Jack was lost today.

ALL PLAYERS NEED TO DRINK SNAKE JUICE

 

 

 

1/2 teaspoon of salt

1 teaspoon of "no salt" (potassium)

1 teaspoon of baking soda

1/2 teaspoon on Food grade Epsom salt (magnesium)

 

replenish your electrolytes!!! 

Anything that gets Ron Swanson doing the Charleston is legit in my book

I'm gone go half full here and be more encouraged by the fact he was taking gels on the sideline and not just drinking. Yes, they worked him a little too hard, but at least we have a training staff the maximizing the nutrition/energy part.

Not concerned for 2 reasons.

1) It was just cramps (or I am at least operating under the assumption it just was).  

2) Reggie showed up without missing a beat.  The hand was forced, even temporarily, for the team not to absolutely lean on CMC for 100% of the run game.  Reggie stepped up and said "I can give CMC a breather here and there".  

Due to how minor I view cramps, combined with how great Reggie looked (I know, small sample size), I would be more willing to let CMC take a little break here and there going forward.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
