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.  

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

Abdullah did more in his short time here to take over as the 3rd back in the line up plus he doubles as a returner.

Royce was supposed to be a good pass blocker but he never lived up to that.

You keep talking about passing protection, 3rd down RB, etc …like we will want to attempt that.  That’s glass breaking emergency play at this point.  

I’m talking to finish out a long season attempting to run all game vs fronts playing it.   Some good ones too. Our guys are going to get hammered.  I’m talking about preserving and limiting hits on guys we actually value after this year.  

season is over.

I didn't say 3rd down back, I said the 3rd back. We don't need 4 RBs on the roster even with the amount of running we are thinking of doing.

Season is over according to you and other fans but not the staff.

I mean the Lions season isn’t over either. 

But yeah, Freeman actually has the 2nd best ypc behind CMC.  Almost a tie. 3.8 vs 3.7.    He is by far the most built RB for punishment and that is what our game plan is going to be.  To smash the RBs into DLs with a D playing it.  

do we need him? Again, no.  We can run CMC over and over between the tackles.  Hubbard too.   In a wasted season, I just think you should limit the pounding your future actually takes.  Especially the pointless pounding that some games present.

Too much to be pissed about than a 4th string RB getting cut cause the team needs the spot. I liked freeman and they claimed him for free, not too much to get upset about. 

Abdullah as others have said offers more ST value and ran HARD in his first game, much more than freeman did. He also is a better clone of CMC than freeman. Just the numbers deal and nothing to get up in arms about. Saving my anger for Rhule QBs decisions, OL, ST, and Gringer cringer

how are the last two years of draft picks looking?

2020 is all on brown, Chinn and YGM. Roy has been solid backup so far as well. 

2021 all over the map and still too early.

FYI if you get 2 starters and one ST ace/top backup thats a good draft. I think both can at least have that result, but the thing is this team was devoid of talent starting in 2020....so..

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
