So no one else concerned about CMC towards the end of the game?

[07579394]

Yes.Look at that 4&1.Bonnafon and Scarlett should get some snaps.

[Khyber53]

In a close and competitive game like that, had we pulled CMC and lost, you guys would have been screaming your heads off.

It was good to learn just how explosive Bonnafon could be, so maybe we will see a bit more of him, especially when we have a good lead.

But, if you want CMC to win the rushing, total yards and touchdowns titles, along with MVP... then he's going to be out there for 99% of the snaps. That's the only way it happens.

No.  It was clearly a cramp.  That's why he was taking electrolyte gel and drinking a gatorade.

i'm gonna guess the other guys aren't up on pass blocking.  it looked like kyle was having to explain assignments to bon after they broke the huddle each time.   its on norv and the o to fix this.   i don't care what stat titles cmc gets this year.  what are they worth?

Looked like cramps which aren’t a big deal. Need to get Bonnafon more carries so CMC can rest.

After seeing the game yesterday where 95% of the plays were keyed to him, it'd do Allen and the offense better, and have him see the field/WR''s better.  There will come a time where a one trick pony offense is going to be stymied and you'll have to have rhythm with your WRs, Allen didn't have that yesterday, bunch of his passes were behind the wideouts.  Hope he can turn that around for London.

In our system, blocking assignments are incredibly important for our RBs, even more so with the injuries we've had along the line. How many times do you think CMC is kept on the field because they need him in there to block or chip a DE? Watch the games, because it happens a lot.

Agreed a stymied CMC would stink

Something a lot of people don't think about is pregame for these players. First time I was at a game this season and I was there to watch all the players warm up. Most players are out there and they run a route, stretch and then take a little off while standing in line before running another route. CMC was out there earlier than most and was sprinting around catching passes, and as soon as he caught one he would flick it back to the thrower, continue to run in a circle sprint and immediately get tossed another one. He was the only person working this hard during the early warmups. I don't know if this was his normal routine but I can tell you from watching both sides warm up this isn't the normal routine for any of the other players on both teams. 

The defenders were doing a drill, then standing and dancing, waiting for a command and then ran another drill. DJ was jogging from one end zone to about the 20 and then sprinting the last 20 yards to the other end zone. He would then stretch before doing it again. CMC was constantly running or sprinting while catching the ball.

I was a little concerned until I watched him hobble down the sideline and be the first guy on the sideline to congratulate Bonnafon when he came off the field.

More of a concern? Luke spending some time on his knees more than once yesterday; once after taking Reid's knee to the side of his helmet.

[Sam Mills Fan]

He doesn't take many big hits. The bye week is next week. A lot of his touches come as a receiver. He's 23 years old. He's the best player in the league.

Guys, it's fine. He's a smart guy. If they want to use Bonnafon more, great, but I'm not worried about Christian McCaffrey in the slightest.
