At some point team needs to think big picture. This team, as currently constructed, is not going to contend for a SB. Will be lucky to even make the playoffs with the brutal schedule that's left. So what's the point of holding on to players like Ward for a few more games? If we can offload him for some draft capital that can help towards next year, then they should definitely do that instead.
This!
It's not how the team is constructed. If all the players were healthy we would be seeing a different result. CMC is just one player but he has an enormous impact on the offense and consequently what the opposing defenses do. The other receivers get different coverage because defenses need to be concerned with CMC.
On defense the really miss Greenlaw. They miss his ability to blitz. They miss his energy out there. It makes Warner nedd to do more than he normally would.
Two players that can make a huge difference. Let's hope they both get back healthy after the bye.
