I feel like we are due a big Mitchell run early in the game. If we can establish the run early, cowboys are f**ked.

Yeah I want to see him break a long TD run off and really show the speed that some doesn't think he has

Just give him an alley like in the opener vs Lions

Agree. That would put them on their heels and then we bring in Bosa and the Constrictors.
I don't care how much of a workhorse Mitchell is. The dude needs help be it Deebo or Sermon. Emmitt is the only RB on the smaller size end that could sustain a Henry type of workhorse activity without getting injured. Even Emmitt got banged up a lot of the dude was a warrior.

I'm not a fan of giving Deebo more than 5 carries. The dude was exhausted last game. Kyle needs to start trusting other players more.

Wilson will be big in this game.

Hopefully, its a homecoming for him and I feel like he's been managed well all season! He's a beast when healthy

Let's hope it's because Shanahan want to maintain fresh RBs and not because Mitchell got hurt. Most coaches use 2 RBs when they have two decent to good ones. The 49ers have a future star in Mitchell and a good backup in Jeff Wilson Jr. Kyle needs to use both, and not work the crap out of Mitchell. This is the first season where Kyle simply doesn't trust any other RB as long as Mitchell is 85% healthy, he gets pretty much all the carries.

Think it is more about how well Mitchell is playing rather than lack of trust in Wilson/Hasty. Mitchell can also run anywhere. Mostert was faster but not an inside guy.

Yeah, 10 straight times at a top of the line Ram run defense, Mitchell is a stud workhorse. Those chains kept moving.

And he's just a rookie. If he can pack another 10 to 15 lbs and not lose too much speed, WOW! I'll say it backwards next year! WOW!
Continue to be thoroughly impressed by Mitchell! A rookie but looks like he's been in the league for years. Four yards short of 100 today. Such a strong runner that can make that key cut and just go. Also can grind it out to keep decent down-and-distance and help keep drives going. Had that nice TD to start off today's scoring...also, almost broke a long one later in the game.

They went all out to stop him today, he did pretty good facing the odds

Agreed, such a tough runner that also has some speed.
Great game by Mitchell today!
He finds yards when there's none. Deebo is like that too in Dallas. Amazing duo.
