Committee this year - and probably going forward. Stats will suffer but hopefully it means fresher legs carry the ball in the playoffs
Like every other rookie rb the issue is pass pro, and without ota’s or much camp or preseason you have to wonder how much trust McVay can really have in him. At least early. I think he has the talent to get the bulk of the carries but I don’t think he will.
He just has to hold on to the rock and pick up the blitz. He will do that.
Great post. And I agree about Hendo, he's gonna surprise some people this year. He really ran hard in that 49er game. Sucks he got injured, I think we woulda seen some good stuff from him late last season. Between Hendo / Cam / Brown I think we got a nice RB committee room.From what I gather, unlike most rookie backs pass protection is one of Cams strong suits.
In 2019 he put the ball on the ground 3 times off of 231 carries. Gurley had same amount 3 off of 223.
Did not look up previous years on Cam nor would I consider myself informed on any fumble issues in camp.
I agree" Cam is going to pleasantly surprise some people."
I feel the same about our oline, however I think it may take a few weeks to iron out the bugs up front.
The only reason I didn't project Cam over 1000 rushing is because I think, Henderson is going to pleasantly
surprise some people as well.
