If we could stop with the penalties.. Catch the ball when it's thrown to said players.. And not throw pics and fumble the ball away... We might give ourselves a chance.... I mean.. That is literally what is costing us games..

And they'd probably be 4-2 instead of 2-4, winning cures a lot of things.

I am concerned that when Hunt is back they are going to cut to far into Chubbs carries. He seems to get better the more carries he gets. Hunt should be worked in as a third down back and two back sets. We should use plenty of those. 

I'd like to see Hunt get 2 series a game to keep Chubb fresh.

Chubb should hands down be the #1 rusher so far. Should still get it this season

The lack of carries the first few games is laughable. You'd think they would have learned from last year 

Sadly, egos come into play. Freddie wants to prove his superior play calling....

Hunt and Chubb time soon ?

Sorry- it's one more indicator Freddie better get his head out of his ass and start using Nick more when it's first and goal....

It feels like he is trying to emulate that Seattle Superbowl over and over...

I knew he was doing pretty well, but the #2 rusher in the entire NFL?

And the only guy with more rushing yards (McCaffrey) has a lower ypc (4.9 vs. 5.3). Chubb is producing better than such revered backs as Cook, Zeke and Kamara. 

One more reason why this team (and Baker) really should be winning more than they are. It would be different if you said, "Well, we have no rushing game, hard to win without one" (as the Rams are discovering. Notice how much worse they are since Gurley isn't right?) And, yes, the O line isn't great but it's not as bad as many think it is, or Chubb would not be producing like he is. 

This is one more indicator that tells us a lot of the problem is with Baker and his inaccuracy (which was not the case last year).

He was impressive from day one.

He deserves all of the credit he's getting and more.  But like every other back in the league, he has runs of -2, 0, 1 yard.  Our OL is not all that great.  We can't make a living doing either one solely (running or passing).  We have to set up one with the other.

....but that guy is like a model football player IMO.  He's like the anti-Baker.       < and he's FAST >

Nah..this OL is still below run blocking average at best..Chubb is his own stud, just as last season, he's helping OL real stat numbers inflate (that's if you follow them).. but Chubb again leads the league in yards after contact & tackles broken at LOS... If ya remember RB Jamal Lewis at all? Jamal missed his 2nd season due to a knee injury..followed the next 2 years with over 1300 yards than 2066 yards in 2001..the Ravens were known for their defense back than, but their OL also won them many games..

Yes but they have to decide between how much they want to use Chubb and not burning him out in a 16 game season.  

AND of course how does Hunt comes back 100% ready and then the two back set might be incredible.

The stats through 6 games all Chubb running plus pass receiving too.

Running Back

And team targets, not enough TEs and a lot of Chubb.....he has almost as many as all of the TEs together.
