Chuba Hubbard 11 Att 52 yards, 4.7 yards per carry

[SBBlue]

Chuba had a good night.  He turned some certain yardage  losses in to 2-3 yards.  He had the longest run of the game at 14.  Not bad for a rookie. He also came back and PULLED the pile to help Darnold get across for the score.

He seemed to get better with more reps.

We ran the ball well in the second half.

This. Some RB get better with more touches. Remember, that 2000 yard year in college he had to get touches. Just work on his hands and he'll be fine.

He can find a hole and exploit it, but he has to catch the damn ball!

Tonight Chuba caught 3 out of 5 for  27 yards, 9 yards per catch.

the drops were at crucial moments.  He probably had butterflies, but he needs to catch that sure TD.

He needs some reps catching passes out of the backfield, but definitely played hard, especially making his mark in the 2nd half.

[SBBlue]

We are spoiled by McCaffrey.  Chuba just needs to invest a lot more time catching.

He also had three drops

he started picking a hole and just hitting it.

best run of his was when he picked a spot down the sideline and just hit it. No hesitation. No waiting. Great vision.

A lot of RBs need to get into a groove. Look at the best pure runner in the league right now, Derrick Henry. He has a bunch of games where he’s sitting on like 10 carries for 30 yards and winds up with 25 carries for 150+ yards. Tough to get into a rhythm as a runner with limited touches and especially with a subpar OL. Chuba has struggled with bad drops but has shown some promise as a runner.

Yea seems like he needs touches to get over the fall over as the wind blows near him.
