Where the hell is Foreman?

With Pat blocking weakly in the middle, and the o-line still learning how to run block together, RBs other than CMC are going to have a lot of trouble. CMC is making the o-lines run blocking look better than it is in reality. Double team blocks are getting spilt, Pat has no power, the lanes are not coming open, or slamming shut quickly. Then you have CMC doing something terrific that not many RBs in the NFL can do. A lesser back is going to get stuffed for loss. Our coaches want to keep their jobs for another season. Just like the last coaching staff, they're going to ride CMC. Now we're trying to pass more, so CMC is not taking as much of a beating, but still he's fantastic when the line fails and when does well. CMC has this fast decision making combined with quick twitch muscles that allows him to turn nothing into the max we could have possibly gotten out of it. I wouldn't send in the other RB either if my job were on the line.

Y'all will hate on anything. CMC has been good between the tackles this year. I would also like to See Foreman cracking some heads, but he does not have the explosive upside Christian gives them. 

3 games in and our RB who hasn’t been healthy since 2019 is hurt again.  And Carolina has used the #2 RB less than anyone else in the NFL. 

CMC isn’t built to be pounded like McAdoo is doing.  And McAdoo is not using him in the one aspect that legitimately separates him from other RBs.

Yeah soft tissue injuries for taking snaps Foreman was picked up for. It's not like we're running some crazy up tempo offense where there's not time to sub guys out. If anything it's one of the more slow and static offenses I've seen us ever run

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

At the same time, he is not starting material.

It kills me that Huddlers seem to want to make other teams' rejects and make them legit starters. 

I'm not saying he isn't a good backup to have, but he's largely a one-cut power back with no speed. 

Now I'm no Chuba fan because of his oven mitts, but he is arguably more dynamic of a runner, if nothing else for his speed. I tried to tell people that he was our main backup behind CMC, but people didn't want to listen. If Chuba could ever learn to catch, he's more than JAG.

I don't think anyone is trying to make Foreman the starter, but if Fhule continues to pound on CMC, then Chuba or Foreman will be forced to be the starter. All I am asking for is some intelligence in how CMC is used, what in the holy hell did we sign Foreman for if we don't use him for short yardage, power runs that could relieve CMC?

He has shown he is capable of providing relief, yet we have not seen him much. Add to that CMC is already nursing injuries and here we are. This staff seems clueless as to how to maximize the talents of what we have and seem hellbent on running the team into the ground yet again.

Foreman isn't all that good and never has been. Had a decent stretch last year when Tennessee was firing on all cylinders but he's hardly the only player in the NFL to randomly look good for a brief period. Some folks' expectations are/were wayyyy too high when he signed here.

I agree with that. It would seem that it would be obvious to run the power back on short yardage runs, but Rhule has never done it, which is kinda weird.

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.
