Don, I think you must be right. I see no holes being open for Christian, while his back ups have free running room. Were it Christian getting those types of holes, I’m confident we’d see him with another 40 or 50 yards. The thing that confuses me is how a team with an offense as white friendly in San Francisco doesn’t produce better when CMC is running the ball.
I've noticed it and commented recently how Derrick Henry has absolutely no running room in recent games. No RB, no matter how talented, can put up big numbers when he doesn't have running room. That's what ended Toby Gerhart's career prematurely when the Jags started him one season and he couldn't do anything because the o-line was atrocious. For Christian it's been way too many up the gut runs with no running room, whereas the other RBs seem to get a lot more delayed handoffs where defenders aren't sure if it's going to be a run or a pass. On other running plays they're opening up holes that Christian isn't getting.
Yeah, I have the Bengals/Chiefs game and can't watch McCaffrey, but I'm checking the stat box and have seen the dreadful YPC average. right now I'm seeing 14 carries for 37 yards. With his talent, that should equate to 70-80 yards. Very frustrating to see the back ups get alot more yards per carry, such as Jordan has 5 carries for 44 yards. He has more yards on two/thirds less carries. It makes absolutely no sense.
He is flat-out dominant!
I would put him an an equal level to Mahomes. Glad to see him get the win today.
It's about damn time. We know he could do this weekly and alot more than this. Look his way early and often like I said before the game
Crap that takes the 49ers out of the Super Bowl mix. I was hoping to see CMac in some big games!
