CMC has lost a step and is not as explosive as he was but i honestly don't see a lot of holes to run through. I don't sit there and say "oh he would have broken that tackle 2 year ago". The running lanes just aren't there as they once were.

That's pretty much my thoughts.. I don't see many holes being opened period. Was just hoping to see the mix it up a bit more, specifically IG and his speed. I'll defer to KS and turner though lol

Absolutely true. Remember when the Niners had Breida and then Mostert. They were breaking off some huge runs but were usually untouched. This year Barkley is averaging 3.7 per carry after going over 2000 yards last year and averaging 5.8 per carry. Did he suddenly lose it in one year? More likely the Oline isn't blocking as well.

Well with this mindset, the RB doesn't really matter and it's mostly the oline then. And I honestly think that's true.

It is some type of back issue which is pretty vague. There are many different back problems. It can range from mild strains to severe disc issues. I assume it's a relatively mild issue if he thinks he can play.

It was always going to be tough when Brock came back. Mac Jones loved to check it down to CMC in .5 seconds whereas Brock feels like a failure if he ever checks it down.

They did run some wheel routes (which I like) with CMC; Tennessee covered them fairly well.

I seen some burst on a few runs but what carry did you see a big hole were he didn't have a burst. I don't know how the game would've turned out had he not played. Robinson was like 2 yards a carry.
