He definitely doesn't look like himself. I don't think he's as good as Rico at his peak but he just doesn't look like he has it right now at all.

I don't think anyone would expect any less from Chuba he's a great teammate and a professional. At the same time he's also being compensated quite well so that certainly helps in adjusting to the circumstances.

Wondered if I was only one noticed how his runs show no emotion and little excitement.  He has the world by the tail sure hope he figures out how to hold on.

There’s no reason the offense can’t accommodate them both. We had Williams and Stewart as a 1-2 punch, so it’s possible that Dowdle and Chuba can be used as a 1-2 punch. We are a run first team since we don’t have a prolific passer under center, so I would at having a strong run game with two quality backs is a positive. Before the Packers game, they had split the carries fairly evenly. I think unless one gets hot, we’ll probably see them split carries.

I wonder what the true state of Chuba's calf is? I remember it being mentioned a couple of times last year that it was something they were managing then after the Cardinals game last year we put him on IR. He then reinjured it this year. That would seem to explain why he looks slower and less explosive than in years past. Chubas running style was a one cut explode through the hole type of back and it just doesn't look like he has that ability right now.
