Our RBs not named CMC suck.

I agree with this. The best play Kamara made against us last weekend was picking up a block on Brian Burns. Kamara got run the phuk over but it was a great play. CMC, Kamara and a few others are the exception 

Zeke Elliott is another one. The backup RB, Pollard, is outperforming him when they hand the ball off but a major reason Zeke is still the main guy and gets the majority of the snaps is because he is a great pass blocker while Pollard is not.

I think some of you wake up and are automatically miserable, going on about your day to search for more misery. 

It shows up in your posts. 

Remember.. Salty isn't the only flavor in this world. 

Not miserable at all, just wondering since according to the huddle RBs are so easy to plug and play. We don't need to pay top dollar for one was most peoples sentiment.

Not defending CH or RF, but I mean it's just a case of being realistic imo. 

Rookie and a player who didn't through the off-season in our system.  I wouldn't expect them to be hitting their ceilings yet.  Of course they need to improve.

Also, I'm not in the camp of people that think solid all around RB's are "a dime a dozen".

I think it gets complicated.  While our OL hasn't literally imploded like some thought it would....it still isn't great.  CMC skews things.

I think if you were to put Chubba behind a top OL that simply put him easily into holes....he would look pretty explosive.  But if you are asking a rookie RB to evade a lot of tackles/contact in the backfield or at the line.....he isn't going to make a lot happen.   Especially one that doesn't have a NFL body yet.  Heck, CMC had to put in a lot of work after his rookie season getting a NFL body and to get where he could shake off the first contact he saw.

What I have seen of Chuba has been promising, he has had a couple of decent runs behind a bad run blocking line. I would rather he get the snaps than Freeman when CMC is off the field. Of course Chuba needs time to learn pass blocking, but I would rather he be learning than a 4th year player who probably is not in our long term plans.

This too. The OL hasn't been very good overall, but they've been a lot better in pass protection (probably because we've put so much focus on getting the ball out quickly) than they have been in run blocking. It's especially obvious in short yardage situations. We can't get any push going what so ever.

RBs that can pass block are rare especially young ones. It’s basically not done or taught in college especially in spread systems so most come into the league with no clue how to do it.

Then why get rid of all the fullbacks??? Seriously, Armah wasn't great, but he could fuggin block!

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
