I’m curious what everyone thinks CMC workload should look like when he returns? I’m thinking instead of 30 touches he’d get more like 20-25 depending on game flow. Def stop banging him between the tackles in the 4th quarter. 

20ish with a different look at the run game. Enough with the facepalm Shula like calls of running it up the middle. Get McCaffrey in space and let Royce get the tough yards. We even saw the capabilities of Tremble we have options just have to be creative instead of mind numbing predictability.

I was so pissed when we were annihilating the saints but refused to take CMC out of the firing line, and continued to let him take the hits instead of Chuba or Royce. I understand he is a very competitive player and wants to be out there to help his team at all costs, but at some point everyone involved has just got to play it smart with him.

Some much needed good news on the injury front

Time to stop the 40 touches a game, no human being can withstand 680 collisions a year from NFL athletes the way a RB gets hit.

Give him more downs off the field, we don't need him 95% of the snaps.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
