Royce Freeman picked up by Houston

[CRA]

Hope CMC can stay healthy.  Kinda a weird move based on the current trajectory of things.   Way the season is going, we are going to have to pound our RBs into mush and still lose while doing it.    Seems like splitting all that up would be wise with a pretty big commitee.   And you got to think given the amount we will run into run looks....our guys are going to get dinged up with that approach.

Seems this staff does things that don't make much sense personal wise.....very confusing bunch we have here.

[Panthercougar68]

We have Abdullah and Chub as back up. We are fine.

He was expendable. Darnold throwing picks is keeping CMCs workload down.

Freeman was terrible even as a pass blocker which was his strength as a RB

It's because they don't know what they are doing. They've been winging it for a while now and it's just caught and overwhelmed them.

Rhule and Co. were ready for a move to the SEC, not a move to the NFL.

Odd man out, nothing else to see here.

We had Freeman claimed by Texans and LB Clay Johnston claimed by the Bengals on Tuesday. There's plenty of talent on this team unfortunately our QB is holding us back.

Yup, I think letting him go was absolutely stupid.  He was the one big, powerback we had on the roster.  And of course, our dumbass staff cuts him because they like Abdullah's "energy" and I'm sure his ability to play multiple positions.

Abdullah made him expendable. He and Chuba are fine backups to CMC.  It isn't hard to find a JAG RB if CMC goes down again.

Wait...  we released Clay, too?  I just saw the OL guys put on IR and waiving Freeman.  Wow.  Not that he was great or anything, just didn't see it.

I think CMC is great and I love Chuba. 

But if the season is already over? I would want to limit how much damage they take going forward.  

If Rhule can he will smash them I into D’s playing the run 40 times a week….as we lose? Not a fan of that.  Why not keep Royce and grind him some.  Spread it out. 

we haven’t even gotten to the hard part yet lol.
