Cmac Had Only 14 Touches!!!

The Panthers coaching staff certainly knew that our o-line was going to be outmatched against their d-line, and they put together a quick passing attacking. Get the ball out fast, and go pass heavy. The plan failed because Baker was told to hurry ahead of time, and that led to him dropping snaps. Then Baker further got frustrated when passes were being batted down. To make matters worse we couldn't use CMC as much to gash them with runs because their d-line was beastly. Look how tall they were. Good lord. Monsters.

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

30 Touches a game is just stupid. But this is a long the lines of what I was wondering. Why not let your new QB and Tackle get settled in by leaning on your run game. That's what blew my mind.

We wanted to attack the Browns weakness imo, and that clearly their secondary. Running against that d-line was exactly what the Browns wanted. Even though we upgraded our o-line from last season we're still not good enough in that area. The Panthers staff probably looked at the match ups between our o-line and their d-line and concluded that running a lot was a very bad idea. They know ahead of time how the trench battle will go and game plan accordingly.

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.

 

Those RBs never missed as much time as CMC has
