Our RBs not named CMC suck.

Then why get rid of all the fullbacks??? Seriously, Armah wasn't great, but he could fuggin block!

Armah could pick up a 190 pound CB for sure. I dont really understand the point of Freeman.

RBs that can pass block are fairly rare, especially the depth guys.

Let Chuba get out there and learn. 

Sounds like a great way to get your QB murdered

Chuba does not suck, he needs more touches and better blocking.  Even CMC struggled on Sunday behind that OL in obvious running situations.

And Freeman is different how?

[AviationMX]

Didn't Rhule pull Hubbard because he missed a block against the Jets?

In any case, I  think he will to start contributing soon. Most the plays I've seen he didn't have much of a hole to run through. I'm sure Brady will figure a way to get him the ball soon, we need to keep CMC healthy and with 17 games we need a backup that has had reps...

sucks we couldn't afford mike davis, he was p good

I think we needed another rb in the mold of Mike Davis to both compliment McCaffrey and gut out some of those tough yards behind a less than ideal oline. Hopefully it works itself out but from looking at things at the moment we possibly could've picked up another decent back on the cheap.

This team has no power running game in between tackles when needed for critical short gain conversions/scores.......and sending CMC in there is going to shorten his career.

also worth noting its hard to convince a decent back up RB to sign here. your not gunna get nearly as many carries as you would like and would likely be stuck pass blocking and doing goal line work. Not really ideal.

It was beautiful watching the Ravens OL open up big holes between the tackles time and time again on Sunday night.  Compare that to the penetration the Saints DL routinely got against our OL.   

Ugh - it was night & day.

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.

Pass block?  I think the problem here is our supposed "power back" got run over by a CB!  There is no excuse for something of that magnitude. 

Yes, I know he was technically pass blocking, but it was a CB not a Dlineman!

RBs need reps to get in a groove. With CMC getting basically every rep it’s not surprising a cold player off the bench struggles for the 1-2 plays they’re in the game.

We could use a Mike Tolbert for these short yard situations and pass blocking.
