Giving CMC a break at all is a blessing that doesn't show up in the stat sheets.

Half of the rushes were garbage time runs vs the Saints with the Saints run blitzing and Carolina trying to run the clock out.

 

Not really judging his worth on mostly garbage time carries behind an o-line that got zero push on run plays

Yeah, I feel like he was hit a lot today before he really had a chance to make anything happen.  He also slipped randomly on the turf, so not a good  performance, but whatever.  We got the W

It's a tough gig.  Neither guy is getting great blocking...  almost every carry Chubba had today, the Saints were already in the backfield when he got the handoff.  CMC generating the offense he is with this line is a testament to both his experience and his talent/skill.  Chubba is a different style runner, and as a rookie, the line isn't allowing him to play to his strengths, at all.

I wouldn't look very deep into this at all. He is a rookie playing behind a suspect O line that has struggled specifically in run-blocking. He is still getting up to NFL speed and I expect he will get better, but he does give us something we really need..a break for CMC. 

[TheCasillas]

There were two plays today that Chuba could have bloated those stats. 

1. His first touch, he hit the wrong hole. He had a HUGE cutback lane that could have been easily 10+ yards
2. The play he tripped on his own feet. Huge hole and easily could have been the longest run of the day... but he fell over.

I hope next time he gets a chance, he is able to take advantage.

[Pantha-kun]

We really need someone to take the #2 RB role. I almost had a panic attack when CMC went out with cramps and the Saints were coming back

[frankw]

Uh when the defense is getting hands on you in the backfield it's a tough gig. He needs to better capitalize on opportunities but we also need to be more creative in our running plays.

[Mr. Scot]

He's a rookie who just finished his second game playing behind an offensive line who's suspect in run blocking.

Way too soon to know anything.

[OldhamA]

I think it mainly just goes to show how good McCaffrey is.

That said, if Hubbard is the only bust in this class then I'll take it - to be honest he doesn't look that explosive atm.

[TheCasillas]

Im actually going back and watching all of the Chuba touches... the guy had no chance today. Every play the Saints D line beat our oline. Can't really put much on Chuba outside of his trip.

 

Also, Daley and Erving are HORRENDOUS run blockers......

Chubba is still a rookie after all. He’ll get going when he starts getting comfortable and actually gets some better play calls.

In other words our line stinks.
