Is there a reason we haven’t been using Cordarelle at all? I’m not even trying to critique Smith here or anything, but is there some type of injury that is preventing us from playing CP? I seem to remember him having an injury preseason or something, but checking the depth chart he’s just listed as 3rd string RB with no injury notes.
Has he just regressed to where he’s not worth playing anymore unless Bijan or Allgeire gets injured? Or is it understood that he’s injured and will be back at some point?
I know it makes sense for him to be 3rd string because those other 2 are just better as pure RBs, but it seemed like we were scheming all kinds of plays for CP in 2021 and 2022. Is he just not viable anymore?
i suspect we want him as fresh as possible for the end of the season & playoffs as someone else mentioned. he seemed to slow down late in the season the past year or two due to his age, so if we can have him at 100% in december & january he should absolutely punish worn down defenses with the way he plays. the saints game was a taste of that
