Where the hell is Foreman?

[Jmac]

They are barely using him. A very good back with power. He could start on many teams and would produce.

Instead they send CMC up the middle and getting his ass beat up, now nursing a thigh injury. Instead of utilizing a great pass catching back in creative ways, they send him into the meat grinder time and again. I swear kids on Madden could design a game plan around these two backs and be effective. But our OC and HC can't fiqure out how to do it.

He’s slow as fug. Mack truck in a Prius game.

for real tho…there’s so many good backs out there…idk how we don’t have a quality backup. I’m talking quick enough, great hands, good power….but we’ve got lumbering ass Foreman and Chuba, who the majority of the time is either falling down or dropping passes

He filled in for Derrick Henry and did very well. He is no slouch.

In my opinion I think this coaching staff has a gambler’s mentality on CMC. A “just one more play and that’s it” I think they have every intention of running Foreman more during the week, but when the bullets start flying in real time on game day, they get a hot hand with CMC and run him “just one more pla, I promise” and before you know it, they run him 50 million times and before you know it they end up going to the pawn shop pawning their Rolex their great grandfather wore during WW2 because they didn’t realize they ran out of cash and exhausted their resources.

Chuba is a personal favorite of Ms. Rhule. That's probably about it.

Yeah he has like a 85-90% catch rate. He could have taken at least 5 of those up the middle runs on Sunday, and honestly they should have split back sets in the playbook, that would open up a lot

We actually don’t have bad backups. I’d say we’re currently using just about all of our running backs incorrectly. For CMC its more of a we aren’t being sexy or creative with him on play designs. For chuba they need to understand that he isn’t CMC and never will be him. He was never even used much in the passing game in college but they try to make him fill those big shoes here. Foreman is just a matter of getting him in the game and letting him be a the wrecking ball we have been missing. No reason why CMC should be in the game instead of foreman when we only need 1-3 yards for a first down. Bad usage all around in our RB room. Bad play designs and bad play calling.

We actually did run about 3 plays that were split back… Gio was the split back with cmc on 2 of them and chuba on the other

 

but I agree on having both of them on the field for a play or two

Yeah I've never really liked the Ricci as a fullback thing, decent as a TE though
