So do we sit cmc and play c j? Hard to play both 

Sit Armah and have both on the field. I'd rather use 2 RB sets since we have CJ rather than a FB and RB

So you use a number 8 pick on a committee back? Wasted pick if they do that

You use them in whatever way is best. Who cares about draft position? Gettleman ain't here to care anyway

^^This. Armah will get snaps, but teams aren't afraid of him breaking one off. With CMC and CJ, both can run power, sweeps, flairs, screens, and most of all, take it to the house. Can't sleep on either with both in the backfield. Depending on how Thomas progresses, we could run a power running game and have 5 receiver routes and everything in between with a 2 TE set with CJ and CMC in the backfield. Norv is licking his chops.

Maybe the coaches are more curious as to how cmc does with a full load? Looking back to last season with the exception of one drive in the GB game and for part of the first ATL game,  McCafrey was constantly in and out of the lineup and only got over 10 carries in 3 games iirc.  

I dont think theyre going to be using cj like stew last year. Maybe theryre going to try cmc as the everydown back and use cj for specialized situations like long pass pro and short yardage,  goal line.  

I think it would be unwise to do that. Both have receiving skill sets. I think both will be used when they are most effective unlike we did last year. To explain more some games you will need power and others quickness  but both can catch so you can send them out on pass plays as well  depending on the team.

This clip just helped remind me that with an actual offensive coordinator like Norv, he  can use Anderson in a variety of ways. A guy like CJ would have been useful in the SB chipping against Von Miller. Instead we gave Remmers no help.   Norv could run a 2TE set with Anderson in the backfield.  That’s a lot of quality blocking while still having Olsen and 2 receivers out in routes. Having Ian Thomas and Anderson providing quality OL help so Cam can go deep on occasion without getting killed like he would have under Shula. Makes me feel like a guy like Norv has some tools to help out our OL with different schemes.  Very refreshing!
