It's crazy to think Kyle said a couple years ago he realized he had to keep 3-4 active RB's for the first time ever. Now we might need 5 plus a FB just to get through a season of rotation. This system absolutely eats through OL and RB's...makes sense given the type of players they need (smaller, quicker, faster) and the amount of load on both positions esp. at OL with such a huge load of varying types of blocks and continuation of those blocks so far down the field. His run is used to set everything else up so run blocking comes first.
Well, they don't need to be small. It's just that most guys that are fast tend to be smaller.
In an ideal world, Kyle would have a few Derrick Henrys. Unfortunately, that type of athlete with massive size AND speed is extremely rare. And even Henry is starting to breakdown. The RB is a physically taxing position, and if an offense plans to make the run game their focus, they better have a few of them.
Oh for sure. Good example but is Derrick Henry laterally as quick and fast as our guys in Mostert, Mitchell...even Deebo? If so, that's a rare unicorn like Trent Williams at LT in our system.
The fact that he's running more now as a head coach (vs passing more as a OC) and drafting Sermon - which is an unusual RB pick for him generally, might be an indication he's changing his tune on the run game.
Bigger RBs theoretically should be able to withstand more pounding. But even a guy like Derrick Henry, as big as he is, gets dinged too.
It could also be his run offense has developed to the point that he can use slower bigger backs for the inside game and still have the small fast backs for the outside game.
Well i do hope he does now have a better 4 minute offense than what hes shown in those past championship games.

Hopefully go, all the other backs on this team are atrocious.

Damn already. This guy is going to miss his 5th game of the year or what? I thought he would've cleared the concussion protocol already and I thought the knee wasn't bad at all.
Mitchell has the MOST YPG out of any rookie rb/we/te
Yup, more than Chase at wr and Harris at rb

Latest is he was rehabbing on the side, which is better than not doing anything at all.

Well, by this time, we've had three guys go on permanent IR for the year already (Verett, McGlinchy, Mostert) and so I think we're lucky he's still on the team and not on IR. He's taken some big shots as a RB and I'm just hoping his body can get to the playoffs and beyond without breaking down. I'm hearing that Sermon may be ready to come back by next week, so reinforcements are on the way. I just hope Mitchell's body can last the entire season and beyond.

"But it's also that game is coming close here on Thursday too. Hopefully, he'll be ready for this one. If not, I'm really hoping he'll be ready for Thursday

They keep saying concussion and downplaying the knee, and now it comes out it's his knee that's really f**ked up. Essentially ruled him out for TEN game as well smh

Hot take: the 49ers want to cap him so he doesn't reach 1000 yards. That would mean a pay raise a lot sooner than they expected

Figures. So much for starting Mitchell in both my fantasy football playoffs as well
