Where did this fumbling issue come from? One in all of 2017. One in all of 2018. Three in the past three games.

Lack of use often leads to lack of focus. I think he and Witherspoon need to take the offseason to get their heads clear. They both looked great before getting dinged up, came back rusty and let one or two bad plays turn into a steady stream of yips.
this is where the"3-headed monster" fails. None of them will ever be at their full potential with this kind of rotation. You can see it on their faces on the sidelines, they will never say it but hey HATE it.

Once the opposition knows you're prone they key on it every play. Breida is a smaller guy and you could see how a lineman or LB can pry it off him. He just needs to go down and not worry about getting the extra yard. Most of Breidas damage is done in the open field.

Feel bad for him, he didn't look happy at the end of the game. It sucks that he's fallen out of favor with Shanny, we are still going to need him to contribute.

He was the number 1 back, but after the injury in mid season, he found himself bury in the depth chart as the number 3 back. Maybe he is just trying too hard to impress Kyle to try to get back up there on the depth chart.

thl,
It concerns me that on that fumble against Minnesota, Breida didn't seem to notice someone was yanking his arm until it was too late.

Remember, he was the "starter" against the Vikings. He got the ball on the first play.

I think just season fatigue. He played the whole first half where Mostert didnt start getting meaningful touches til the later part of the season and Tevin was out for awhile with a injury. He did this late last season too. But thats the beauty of having so many good RBs, when one starts to slow down, the others are super fresh

Yeah I'm ok with him not getting anyone touches. He's starting to remind me of lamichael james.

How many carries have he gotten in the 2nd half of the season? I don't think fatigue is the reason.

"Starter" means nothing. It is the number of snaps and touches that matters. I am not sure the game plan was to give him the ball.
