Time to change things with CMC

Just can't allow the thirty touches a game for CMC anymore. No matter how tough he is, he will be worn down to a nub by the time the stretch run comes and possibly seriously hurt.

The Oline cannot run block for sh%t. They kept a boat load of TE's. So why not go with two TE sets MORE with either Hubbard/Reese to give some run blocking help. You can also use set to decoy run and sent them out to the flat or downfield to loosen up the defense.

They need to change with the situation and this is time to do something that will still give us a running threat and a passing threat when CMC isn't in the game.

It appeared his injury was unrelated to either the turf or too many touches. But whatever. 

Exactly. It’s smart to limit some touches but you utilize your best players and the idea his prime window is closing is laughable.

We played a Thursday night game. He had a short week of rest. I feel pretty confident that has much more to do with it. It’s the 3rd game of the season ffs, it’s not like he’s been getting 30 touches for 12 weeks now. It’s been two games lol

How about fifty touches a game....or maybe sixty?....no problem? He is not Superman.

It wouldn’t be the huddle without overreacting.

Dude is two and a half games into the season and he barely played last year and we are boiling it down to his workload? Lmao 

Yeah. He gets a lot of touches. He’s our best player. No, that isn’t why he’s hurt. 
 

Teams used to run way more than they do today. Players like Tomlinson, Faulk, Alexander, Holmes did this regularly for years. CMC is young and has not even played much for the last year. We are two games in. This isn’t a workload issue lol

I thought going into the season CMC may end up being a injury prone player. He ends up getting injured and missing a few reps in one game and gets hurt yesterday. With the workload we give him I’m worried if he just isn’t going to make it long in the NFL.

There’s 0% chance his injury isn’t related to work load+short week. Thursday games give no time for recovery. These non contact injuries don’t just fall out of the sky. It’s all related to rest, recovery, diet, genetics, and work load. Unfortunately it appears CMC can’t handle 30 touches a game. So stop doing it

      The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
