Our RBs not named CMC suck.

Didn't Rhule pull Hubbard because he missed a block against the Jets?

In any case, I  think he will to start contributing soon. Most the plays I've seen he didn't have much of a hole to run through. I'm sure Brady will figure a way to get him the ball soon, we need to keep CMC healthy and with 17 games we need a backup that has had reps...

I think we needed another rb in the mold of Mike Davis to both compliment McCaffrey and gut out some of those tough yards behind a less than ideal oline. Hopefully it works itself out but from looking at things at the moment we possibly could've picked up another decent back on the cheap.

This team has no power running game in between tackles when needed for critical short gain conversions/scores.......and sending CMC in there is going to shorten his career.  

It was beautiful watching the Ravens OL open up big holes between the tackles time and time again on Sunday night.  Compare that to the penetration the Saints DL routinely got against our OL.   

Ugh - it was night & day.

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.

Pass block?  I think the problem here is our supposed "power back" got run over by a CB!  There is no excuse for something of that magnitude. 

Yes, I know he was technically pass blocking, but it was a CB not a Dlineman!

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
