Our RBs not named CMC suck.

Running backs are supposed to be a dime a dozen but we cannot find one that can spell CMC and actually do their job. Tons of people were tossing around ideas of CMC being overpaid, but without him chances are we are not 2-0. 

Week 1 CMC picks up Sheldon Rankins, 6-2 305lb DL, so Sam can hit the TD to Robby.

Week 2 Royce Freeman gets blown up by Bradley Roby , 5-11 194lb CB, and allows Sam to be sacked on 3rd down. 

Since RBs are so easy to be had why can we not find one worth 2 cents to spell CMC? It is a shame when our RB1 comes off the field we basically cannot move the ball at all.

The oline is bad at run blocking, good enough pass blocking.  IMO, that has to improve to help all the RBs to excel and minimize wear and tear and injury.  I worry about CMC.

I do too, if he goes down we are pretty much fuged on offense. 

Im not talking about the running part of being a RB. Any RB can go in there and run for 3-4 yards, im talking about a guy that can handle all the responsibilities at least half way decent.

There are very few RB's out there that can hold up in pass pro on a consistent basis...those are the guys you never see leave the field.....again rare.

Chubba is gonna take a WHILE to learn to do it at a decent clip, and the Line needs to learn how to move their guys...they can't yet.

RBs that can pass block are rare especially young ones. It’s basically not done or taught in college especially in spread systems so most come into the league with no clue how to do it.

Maybe if our OL ever gets sorted out it will not be as bad. Then we may not need TEs and RBs to help block as much.

I have a feeling the running game is going to pick up soon. CMC is just so explosive and has elite vision he can gain some yards behind this line. I think once Rhule and company figure out the right combination and Brown and Brady become more involved, our running game will improve in all facets. It’s going to need to if we want to make some legitimate noise this year.

It takes time to learn to pass block. It wasn't always a strength of CMCs, either.  Given the state of the OL we need to be a bit patient there. I think these guys can get it together with reps. They will never be CMC, but they don't need to be.

So Chuba should be out there to try and learn to pass block since we had the lead and were trying to rest CMC? Royce is in his 4th season, I doubt he is going to get it if he does not have it now. 

I guess the coaches thought he could handle the pass blocking better than a rookie, but that was not the case.

You are always going to need RBs to block. A RBs need to block really has nothing to do with how good the OL is because they aren’t there to cover for OL mistakes. RBs are needed to block based on the number of rushers and where they are coming from. Any DC can dial up a pressure that forces a RB to be a blocker just by sending blitzers.

The offense really only has two choices, hit a hot route before the extra rusher gets home or block the extra rusher with a RB.

I agree with this. The best play Kamara made against us last weekend was picking up a block on Brian Burns. Kamara got run the phuk over but it was a great play. CMC, Kamara and a few others are the exception

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I think you should see the OP for pretty big reasons why that is a completely incorrect take given this is a Dave Canales team.

      TMac is a good player and would've been the right pick if our QB could throw a ball farther than 40 yards. For this team's current build (run first, game management passing attack) and the fact that our TE's are laughably bad - the five on our roster have combined for less than 600 yards total, with 3 TDs - Warren should've been the pick.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      If anyone feels like they can't have a conversation about Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career maybe assess why and how these conversations end this way instead of looking to shoot the messenger. Why is it okay to label anyone else on the team or coaching staff trash? Folks on the huddle and across the fanbase on social media have fully thrown anyone and everyone including rookie 8th overall pick TMac fully under the bus multiple times this season. But some of you guys apparently expect a pat on the back because Bryce Young successfully evaded a few potential sacks while Tyler Shough got consumed by our pass rush throughout the game and still had a superior performance. The state of this division is hilariously mediocre at best. Bryce Young is the only player on this roster who is allowed to have the lowest bar possible yet we have invested the most resources in him. It's lunacy.
