Chuba is a better back than Rico.

For whatever reason, it's not working for Rico right now. Our running game in general is not hitting on much lately. If we can get it back on track, I think we win the South. 

Dave is not getting the run game going. He’s sticking to his script and not taking advantage of what is being offered to him. They run game never really gets going and when it does he stops it himself not the other team. It’s maddening.

Rico looks like he is playing injured. He isn't hitting holes the same way or running over people anymore. Chuba, however, is dragging people like he always has when healthy. 

I would like for us to try to get Rico some recovery time if he needs it. Chuba is capable of handling the complete load.

Chuba needed more touches today just like Rico. Canales abandons the run game way too quickly. 

Agreed I felt Canales was leaning too much on the passing game at first.

But Tampa buckled down an neither back got going, the carries were almost equal and both held under 30 yards. 

Rico had the longest run of the day for running backs with a 13 yarder and Chuba had 10 yarder not much more beyond that.

It wasn’t so much how much he ran it as it was when he chose to. He was constantly running it when Tampa knew he would and where he would run it.

I think Chuba should be featured next week personally.  Rico hasn't been as explosive, the past few weeks.  He does seem to have a lingering injury.  It took Chuba a couple of weeks to hit his stride coming back from injury, but right now he is the more explosive back.  Give Rico limited touches, solely with the purpose of giving his body a break.  We're gonna need both of them healthy, after we win the division...

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By t96 · Posted

      My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.
