He has earned the right to spell CMC during the game without fear he is just going to do nothing.  He is proving he can be a solid RB2 for years to come.  Would really like to see some 2 RB sets with CMC in the slot.

Bro... haven't we been saying this since CMC was drafted? I wonder why it's never been utilized?

I would think they just didn't trust him to tote the rock.  But he has proved he can. Now as to why they didn't use Mike Davis (a proven RB) with CMC split out in the first couple of games....I got nothin'

He did what a backup should do he a had a workman like game but that was too many touches to give him 30 plus because if he’s going to get that many touches then he needs to produce at least 180 total yards and maybe a Td.Let’s see what he can do when he’s facing more 8 man boxes like the elite backs because the Eagles D was more concerned with stoping DJ yesterday then worrying about Hubbard avg 4 yd  on a ton of touches.

I only got to see part of the game, but according to the stats/box score, he was targeted six times and caught five.  So assuming the box score is correct there could only be one drop.  

Yeah, his first one was dropped. He caught the rest.

Yeah, Chuba played fairly well all things considered.  He is not CMC of course, but a solid player nonetheless.

 

It is very disconcerting that he had more rushing yards than the entire Eagles team, our defense shut them down for the most part, and we still lost.   Rhule and Brady are being criticized for being to conservative, but the ironic thing is that had we passed less and ran more, we had a better shot at winning.  At least in this game.

    • Sounds like #37 gonna miss the whole road trip.  
    • I didn't realize Robidas is Stankoven sized lol
    • No, but considering that over a third (~35%) of their schedule are the other three teams in the NFC South and all three have strong starting (and back-up) RBs that the offense leans heavily on to open up the pass game. ATL: Bijan has this season and next season before the Falcons have to make a decision on his fifth-year option, Tyler Allgeier is a proven back-up RB that could start for some teams, and 2024 sixth-round selection Jase McClellan returns from a knee injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season starting in early September. Combine that with their QB situation, and that's a team that is going to lean heavily on the run just like they did last season when they were 8th in the league in rushing attempts, 10th in rushing yards, 8th in rushing TDs, 9th in rushing attempts on 1st down, . NO: Similar situation as ATL, but for different reasons. Derek Carr is in the second to last year of his deal and the QBs behind him are Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, and Ben DiNucci. However, they also have Alvin Kamara. One thing that we know about Kellen Moore from his stints as an OC is that he likes to lean heavily on a versatile RB1 while bringing in an arguably equally versatile RB2 to keep their foot on opposing defenses. When Moore had Zeke in Dallas, Zeke was 4th in the league in touches during those four years but Pollard still averaged 10 touches and nearly 60yds a game. Look for the Saints to shore up their RB room in the draft with Kendre Miller, CEH, Jordan Mims, and Xazavian Valladay all competing for touches behind Kamara. TB: Bucky Irving exploded onto the scene last season, but we can't forget more than capable (now-)RB2 Rachaad White. White is on the last year of his rookie deal, but Irving is under contract until 2028. Last season, the Bucs were 10th in rushing attempts, 4th in rushing yards, 3rd in YPC, 7th in carries of 20+, 8th in carries of 40+, and 7th in first down rushing attempts and that helped Baker Mayfield be one of the most efficient passers in the league with a 71.4% completion percentage (good enough for 2nd in the league).
