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

Looked slow and upright in his carries week one. Hope he hasn't lost his extra gear.

To be fair Mason hasn't sniffed the field this year. Yesterday was all CMC and Deebo.

a RB couldn't possible get himself going if he's only gonna carry the ball 5x.. regardless, MCM can not be a bell cow super early in the season.. we need to keep him fresh..

We probably should play him instead of CMC on every down. LOL.

Maybe it's too high of a number, but I'd definitely like to see Mitchell get closer to 1/4 of the reps at running back. Same concerns as everyone else about McCaffrey's total snaps.

Why he didn't get any touches is baffling.

TYPICAL Shanny... he tends to forget about his other toys when he's got something new and working great..
the in-ability to pick up blitzes or be a great blocker should NOT be the reason why our 3rd round RB pick (once again) is not playing...

Is it exclusively his call?
