Cmac Had Only 14 Touches!!!

[Catsfan69]

That's the game right there. You have the best weapon in the Game you have to use him.

He needs 30 touches a game and if he got them we win. 

Hell he really only had 13 when you don't count the fumble recovery.

 

Sometimes you just have to ride your thoroughbred. 

 

Our OC doesn't seem any smarter this year than last.

I liked his moderately conservative use. I don’t like how the rest of the offense went AWOL with the exception of a couple deep passes to Thomas and Robbie.

 

Get more folks involved on the offense, improve the D-line, and stop fumbling the damn ball and we win this game.

You gotta ride your studs in pro sports.

He's our only actual Weapon. 

DJ is good but not great.

Cmac is the best in the world at what he does.

Yeah, let’s run him into the ground like we have for 5 years straight. That’s worked out well the last two years for our record and his health.

You at least give him most of the first couple drives to let Baker settle in, especially in a game with so much drama off the field. At least get the Browns defense focused on the threat of CMC before you start spreading the ball around

His health wasn't that bad.

 

If we had been in contention he would have played. 

You know how you get out of contention in a hurry? You lose to The Browns in a winnable game.

I thought we used him too much early on last year, but this was the worst game plan I’ve ever seen with a healthy CMC.  Volume aside, the offensive play calling didn’t do much to get him the ball in space.

Yeah his first few touches were runs up the middle? I thought McAdoo had 5 waffle house menus of play calls. Looked worse than preseason play calls in the first half

If he got 30 touches he’d get injured by week 3 like he always does 

[Davidson Deac II]

I thought it worked fairly well in the passing game.  DJ, Robbie, and Ian all made big plays.   Would have worked better, but for the batted passes and sacks.

[davos]

McAdoo and Snow both called awful plays today.

Lol that's simply not true.

Soft tissue stuff is random.

We need him to win the game. What good is saving him if doing so costs you the game?

 

That sounds like my ex wife every time she spent money. I saved 49%.

I had to explain that if you spend 100% of our money at 49% off we still have zero money.

Sweetness averaged 24 touches.

Emmit 22 but there was some injury years but at his peak 28 touches per game.

Faulk had low overall use amongst the greats at about 20 per overall but had years averging 29 touches per game.

 

So most hall of fame backs at their peak were being ridden 27,28,30 times a game.

I'm fine with 18-25 a game for CMC.... but dang use the weapon early 3 of of those touches were dumb up the gut into a 10 man box 58 minutes into the game and anther one we don't even know if he was going to get the ball on the play because of the bad snap.
