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.

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.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
