Oh, you think? That has been the thing that's pissed me off the most about these first two games. Too much McCaffrey and not enough Mason and Mitchell. I get that McCaffrey's a stud, but there's no excuse for Kyle running him as much as he has to the exclusion of everyone else. McCaffrey took a lot of pounding against the Rams, I would have much rather seen Mason in there for a handful of snaps. The whole, "well Detroit almost came back against us", canard is just a lot of BS as far as I'm concerned. It would be easy enough to substitute Mitchell and Mason in through the course of the game so that McCaffrey isn't carrying so much of the load.
Perhaps KS knows something we dont...ie ball security etc.
it is frustrating to a fan.
Can't speak to Mason too much, but it seems that Mitchell has been pretty reliable in that regard. Assuming he's healthy, which he rarely is.
