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.  

I liked Royce. Ran hard. Blocked

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. 

Good and good.  Neither of them were good and that means we can look for an upgrade in the off season.  If they were still here, we would be content with them.

We're really complaining about letting Royce Freeman leave?

Wow.

I mean it’s not like a Matt Rhule/Sam Darnold caliber grievance.   It really isn’t about Freeman.  Just thinking about how this brain trust might over abuse CMC in a lost season and after they have admitted throwing the football isn’t wise anymore.  

I mean even this year we have seen CMC overused and on the field late in games that were well over.

Royce most likely asked to be released to get out of this poo show. I wouldn't blame him if he did.

how are the last two years of draft picks looking?

2020 pretty good. 2021, I'm not seeing stars yet. Maybe Horn would have been one, but injury shortened his grading period. The rest are two maybes, a meh, a couple of mightas and some guys that have been disappointing.

Hubbard and Tremble are maybes. Marshall is a meh. Mighta been okay includes Nixon and Taylor. The rest just aren't panning out or are struggling to even make the field on what is a really week team, especially when considering two of them were offensive linemen.

Wish I could say the draft was better. There wasn't a lot of competition in front of these guys in camp. And there were some better picks ahead of most of them, but we traded down and were proud of our bargain hunting.

It will be interesting to see how that all goes down with PJ and eventually Barkley playing. I think they all know running the ball all game isn't likely to net a lot of wins.

Rivera did that with Cam too. Left him in games and even had smash runs called during blowouts in the 4Q with minutes to go. I know we aren't pro coaches but does it really take a pro or anytype of coach to know that it isn't worth the risk.

I mean if I was coaching High School for example I'm not keeping in my best player when we're down 20 with just a few minutes left to go in the game.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
