And I'll add to that on top of not using him early they weren't even making the Browns accountable for him no motions/ movement in the backfield or lined up in the slot.

Yeah that was weird, looked like preseason vanilla calls when you have the #2 fantasy RB just standing there

On many plays CMC seemed like the only person who could hold a block... that's not a good use of his talents.

You don't win Super Bowls by leaving a lot of gas in the tank of your best players. We aren't trying to improve their resale value.

Use the man. Hell, our kicker was injured warming up on the sidelines...

If you use him effectively early and establish him as a threat, his value as a decoy also increases.  Running him up the gut isn't a great way to establish him as as a threat.  I don't know why it's so hard to understand or figure out.  Get him the ball in space and let him do his thing.

Why did we not run the ball at all in the first half McCaffrey or other.  If Forman can't run the damn ball let's get someone who can. Every other team seems to be able to get 2 capable running backs.  It was weird play calling that put our o-line on their heels the entire first half.  And if the ball is getting batted every play how about we move the pocket.  Baker is pretty good at throwing on the roll out.

Baker couldn't get through his reads far enough to make it to CMC. Also their d-line was better than our o-line, so running was going to be mostly ineffective. Add to that drive killing batted passes and you've got trouble. 

Sadly we still need further upgrades to our o-line to stop this from happening.

My first move would be... to not start a back up at center.  Wtf is happening?

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
