So many good things coming of this game, but having a competent compliment to CMC is the biggest highlight to me. I hope Black continues to get touches and that this game wasn't an aberration. He's got quick feet and a nice short area burst to his game. Saw him move the pile for 2 yards on one of his runs.

You can almost count on them drafting a RB in the 3rd round next year. Despite hitting on this one. It's just what they do.

They've only drafted a RB in the 3rd round 3 times and one of those was last year. They've had more years when they didn't draft any RBs. They've signed several as free agents .

CMC fantasy drafters this week in shambles lol...

I like this approach where KB softens up the front then CMC is used strategically to deliver blows

A fresh CMC late in the season is going to be game changing

Absolutely!

Kyle finally has RB he can utilise throughout the season to give CMC a breather from time to time.

Can we try to utilize Jordan James too to see what we got with him. Maybe two RB's who can give CMC a break is better than only one RB

Did not like the split carries, CMC was avg 2 more yard per carry than Black and showed who was the better back. Should have been CMC with 18 carries and Black 6 would have been a better rotation. This we want to preserve CMC you pay him 20 mil. to perform now , even if we did preserve him we want keep him past another 2 years because his contract would be to expensive. Why is CMC the only player in the league you hear a fan base lets watch his touch to preserve you look at the other top players there fans want more touches. If we want to baby him don't ask him to chip on DE like Myles he take more punishment for that block than most of his touches.

Disagree with this. He didn't have 2 yards per carry more than Black in the first half. He got there in the second after we were on top and had worn the D down. Black was a part of that.

Kyle also said CMC missed a couple of plays due to cramp and on top of that Black was playing well and earned those extra carries.

Just looking at the end of game stats doesn't tell you everything about the performance and the flow of the game qtr to qtr.

Got him in my main league(in part as trade bait for the CMC owner) and then grabbed him as a handcuff for my brother in law's league for CMC(I basically run his team for him lol)

Probably my favorite thing from Black was the catch he made on Brock's crazy jump pass in the middle of getting blown up. Small play in terms of impact but HIGH level stuff imo from both Brock who read the play and didn't panic and still made a tough throw and Black rewarded him with a tough grab of his own and a good gain to give us I think 3rd and short.

Small stuff but high difficulty.

Only a matter of time before he takes a 20+ yarder to the house.

Don't care what you agree with the fact are the facts the first have of the game CMC had 2 rushes and you do look at the whole game if your scouting ." Rams sold out more to stop the run in the second half when we had the league than in the first half. PFF also had CMC a lot better a 75.7 run grade vs Black a 57 run grade game so yes it's 2 more yards per carry.
