I recognize CMC is the best, but his usage baffles me at times. I don't think he can survive another season with this utilization without an injury. Spell him more coach, please?
When you have a talent like CMC who is heads above the other backs on the roster you Dont take the ball out of his hands. The touches is not what will get him hurt it's the o line is not that good you stick him behind the Lions line who opens he's we're the backs are 5 yard down field before they get hit wouldn't care if he had 25 touches a game.
I disagree a little. CMC is light years better than most backs in the NFL and he is arguably the best in his position.
That said Mitchell and Mason are more than competent in the run game but I think Kyle is stubborn and at times straight up dumb.
I watched all the games. I can see at times what looks like a visibly banged up CMC after a nice play but he doesn't spell him. CMC goes right back in. He's gonna grind him to the ground.
I'm all for CMC being the focal.point. He is the teams best offensive weapon. Even if CMC says put me back in coach, it takes a coach to be able to make tough decisions.
I'm a Dodger fan. From So. Cal but it reminds me of Robert's. I hate him as a manager. He wields a traveling all star team but can't win in the playoffs. He's great in the regular season but chokes in the playoffs.
Kershaw can be pitching Like dog crap and he won't pull him because Kershaw calls the shots on his deployment.
To win a championship you need more than great players. The Dodgers and Niners have that. What they don't have is the best of game managent when it matters most.
