Does CMC have a chance to break this record over the span of two games?

[Bronn]

From all I can tell, CMC needs 23 catches over the span of the last two games in order to break the record, held by division rival Michael Thomas, of 196 receptions in your first two NFL seasons.

I know 23 sounds like a lot but, if you think about us using our backup QB, we might be running a little more stuff out of the backfield. More than we already have been, even.

It is at least something to root for over the last two weeks!

[Jon Snow]

No, Ron will see to that.

[jfra78]

We will be running everydown

[Pantha-kun]

Hard to say how much heineke will be targeting CMC, we have literally never seen them play together in a regular season game. 

Hes also 232 receiving and 21 rushing yards away from getting 1000 rushing and 1000 receiving. He probably wont get it unless he has a couple of huge receiving games in a row. 

Also hes close to matt fortes record for rb receptions in a single season. 

Cmc has already broken or equaled several records this season. Most lately he passed Dwill for the franchise record for most yards from scrimage in a single season. And also became the 2nd player in nfl history to run for 50 yards,  receive for 50 yards,  and also throw for 50 yards (1st was Walter Payton).

Dude has excelled under Norv...which was expected as advertised.

[Pantha-kun]

Id expect him to end up with about 1100 rushing  yards and 850  receiving yards. 

You could add a few more rushing and a few less receiving , or vice versa,  depending on if we are ahead or behind in these final 2 contests.

[Lumps]

Someone sure made it a point not to utilize him vs. the Saints.

[RumHam]

Damn was going to write a posting about this. He is also 1747 total yards from scrimmage which means he needs what 253 for 2000? No doubt he can get that. Mostly because Ron likes to beat his players to death, and that's been the case with CMC. He only needs 21 yards for 1000 rushing.

DeAngelo Williams got over 200 yards alone in the last game of 2012. It's definitely possible he hits 2,000.

All the talking heads use superlatives to describe barkley as a “generational talent” or gurley or zeke as the “best back in football” but they seem to play down cmc. Same happened in college when he broke sanders yardage record but it want good enough for s heisman?? He seems to be understated because of his race? I don’t know what the issue is really?

His 6th most attempts and 4th most receptions of the year. How is that not utilizing?

No, Cam took the "it's ok to check it down" line, and turned it into his primary read. Falcons and saints are going to load the box and pressure Taylor all day, CMC won't get the ball half as much as he does with Cam, I assure you that.
