Good call man!
IMO, he needs to be used more and once his catching improves will be a thorn in DC's eyes.

Sucks I really like how he runs but dude can't stay healthy. Trade him for something.

no need my man, it's a week in Aug, he has time here, and we see how he impacts the game. we don't have a guy who has the skills out of the backfield, when CMC is off the field, Mitch is that guy

Give his snaps to Mason. Dude is a powerful runner. I think he could be effective in the pass game.

I love the way Mitchell plays when he is healthy, very impactful. I'm against trading him. Even if he misses games during the season here and there, he is still an asset.
also, we've had a history of running backs getting injured, so I want all the quality reps we can get.
Mason and TDP seem to be evolving their game and improving, so I feel good about our depth.
if Mitchell, TDP, and Mason can be consistent and pass catch reliably - boy are we set up for a dangerous run game.

What's Kareem Hunt up to? Mitchell is picking up right where he left off last year.

If Mitch is down, we have Khalan Laborn. I still think that this guy will beat TDP if it comes down between these two for a roster spot.

He's fits the type of player this organization stays away from. We don't want the ongoing negative pub and baggage.

im curious why we arent using him like we did last year (2nd half guy)
he would be a starter on a lot of teams. My guess is he isn't 100% yet and don't want to play him before that

It looked like CMC got 100% of the snaps yesterday. I would like to see Eli rotate with him a bit to save CMC some unnecessary pounding.

Maybe we shouldn't think of it as Eli needs to play to keep CMC healthy, it's that CMC needs to play to keep Eli healthy
