Remember literally everyone on here and then also the media like just before the game asking CMC if he can handle 30+ touches a game...well he fugin can't you doofs so stop giving him so many.

TBH, people just need to accept this is who he is now.  His frame was a concern coming out of college and people questioned whether he would be able to run between the tackles or be a featured every down back bc of it.  Well, he went out of his way to prove he could his first couple of years, and he took a beating in doing so.  That concern about his frame, although he defied the odds early, may have been legitimate, bc it appears his frame can't hold up to that much cumulative damage.  

I hope he isn't forever bitten by the injury bug now, but he's gonna have to stay healthy to change my mind, and it's not looking good...  I dont think these injuries are one-offs, like we thought with each one last season...  I think his body is just showing the delayed effects of the mileage incurred his first few years.  We need to start preparing like he isn't available and be pleasantly surprised if he is, from here on out.

That actually doesn't sound encouraging at all.  If it was just a simple strain, then why would we even be talking about the season to begin with?

But, the injury itself did not look severe, so who knows what's going on?  We've seen guys pop their hammy and go down immediately.  But, CMC finished the run and walked off under his own power without even limping. 

My immediate though on that is, Did they already have him hopped on pain killers for something else though?

If he misses significant time again, there are going to be some hard questions about his role and future on this team.

I have my doctorate, CSCS, and working on a sports specialist cert so yeah…life coach energy for sure. Stick to your specific duties and stay out of my lane, little guy.

if you're going to brag about credentials you should have some that are worth bragging about. 

did you forget to include your Level 1 crossfit cert

listened to a doctor on a radio show this morning and he said he didnt think it looked bad by the way CMS was standing and walking. he said he thinks its a grade one and could even return next game. that said, i think you sit him even if its questionable. we are 3-0 can afford to sit him against Dallas and hope to have him back for our 2 home games.

Would love to see your CV, hot shot. 
There’s intentional bragging and then there’s backing up what you say with the thousands of hours and dollars you’ve put in learning your craft.

What is it you do again?
