you ok there bro ?

He also needs to work on that high step a bit. He gets wrapped up around the ankles A LOT.

He has earned the right to spell CMC during the game without fear he is just going to do nothing.  He is proving he can be a solid RB2 for years to come.  Would really like to see some 2 RB sets with CMC in the slot.

Bro... haven't we been saying this since CMC was drafted? I wonder why it's never been utilized?

I like what I see as a RB2, just need to catch the ball better and get stronger. He's just a rookie and I think he hits the weight room to get stronger, and hopefully works on the hands in practice

I would think they just didn't trust him to tote the rock.  But he has proved he can. Now as to why they didn't use Mike Davis (a proven RB) with CMC split out in the first couple of games....I got nothin'

[WUnderhill]

He just needs to bulk up some. He’s shown some good stuff out there, he just needs to get stronger.

I was very encouraged with Chuba.  

One of the few bright spots during that gongshow of a game.

We had a 100 yard rusher yesterday and still lost. 

[TDGone]

He did what a backup should do he a had a workman like game but that was too many touches to give him 30 plus because if he’s going to get that many touches then he needs to produce at least 180 total yards and maybe a Td.Let’s see what he can do when he’s facing more 8 man boxes like the elite backs because the Eagles D was more concerned with stoping DJ yesterday then worrying about Hubbard avg 4 yd  on a ton of touches.

I only got to see part of the game, but according to the stats/box score, he was targeted six times and caught five.  So assuming the box score is correct there could only be one drop.  

Yeah, his first one was dropped. He caught the rest.

Yeah, Chuba played fairly well all things considered.  He is not CMC of course, but a solid player nonetheless.

 

It is very disconcerting that he had more rushing yards than the entire Eagles team, our defense shut them down for the most part, and we still lost.   Rhule and Brady are being criticized for being to conservative, but the ironic thing is that had we passed less and ran more, we had a better shot at winning.  At least in this game.

I think too his drops in the other game could be bleeding over into memory. He had a drop against Dallas too for example and these are just wide open passes in the flat so they stick out

This is likely what happened to me.
