That dude came in and balled out --- very productive. 

Looks like he could be a legit candidate to shoulder some of the work load CMC is carrying.  I hope Norv finds more touches for Bonnafon in London, let's see if he can continue to produce.

Not to be that guy, but when he came in the Jags defense was sucking more wind than a Hoover vacuum.

Doesn't belittle what he did, but keep it in perspective.

A fresh set of legs to take advantage of gassed defense and spell a starter. 

Just what a backup should be.

Hopefully it won't take another 5 games before we see it happen again.

this dude definitely needs to be giving CMC some rest.  Also provides a chance to use CMC as a decoy and have them both out there. 

I mean just imagine the potential if we get him consistently on the field in a small role.  I mean, that is the trick play RB not CMC.

Exactly!

If defenses see that more than just CMC is capable in running game, then defenses have to be cautious when 2 backs are in bc CMC is a great WO as well. Pick your poison and pray you picked the right defensive call.

Evolving offense. Not giving away all the looks. Keeping it fresh. 

Norv can be alot like Belichick if keeps evolving game by game which makes it harder for opponents to game plan against our O. If so, this will help KA alot and CMC at the same time, Norv can be frustrating like the 4th&goal call. 

Long as we win, Idc.

When Reggie busted off that 59 yarder the most excited person in the stadium was CMC.....very good to see.

I bet Reggie shows up at the next practice with a little extra pep in his step....hope it snowballs positively from here.

a couple things, 

1) apparently CMC was pretty winded as well. no reason that we should keep throwing out a winded RB 

2) Bonnafon has hopefully made a case for himself as someone who might not be at the level of CMC, but he does enough to take advantage of a winded D that the real CMC has made winded. Bonnafon is no CMC, but the CMC we saw near the end of the game isn't the real CMC either. Dude was understandably worn out.

3) We still have Scarlett to see and I would love to see what he can do against a wore out defense. Bonnafon is kind of more of the same (not a bad thing), but then Scarlett could come in and cause even more frustrations for the defense because he's a different kind of runner.

I think you mean the 4th and half a yard inside the five . . . but really that call wasn't the worst.  It was third and half a yard where we blew it.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By panthers55 · Posted

      People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
