News: Cowboys Trade for Christine Michael per Schefter

[darthseinfeld]

Looks like the Titans got the same conditional 7th deal for Terrence West that Dallas did for Michael.

Seeing that I would take West over Michael. More NFL carries and 1 more year on a rookie deal

 

[Common Sense]

I've got him penciled in for 1,400 yards and a dozen touchdowns.

I'd be shocked and gladly eat crow if that happened, but this guy is too much of a knucklehead who doesn't seem to benefit from coaching.

I was sold after his rap a the beginning

I do not like losing Edwards.

I don't either, McCray and Dunbar have less talent but are here for special teams. Ryan Russell has more upside though, so even though Edwards is ahead of him on the depth chart he loses out because he is 5th on the depth chart (including Hardy). This probably means Jack Crawford will take reps at LDE and 3T until Hardy returns.

Two names. Will McClay and Rod Marinelli.

Consider this a lesson learned.

I just wonder why we went so deep at DT and have basically one reserve end at this point without Hardy.

I realize that Coleman and Bishop earned their way on the team, but so did Edwards.

Did Dunbar?

 

[Beast_from_East]

Same can be said for DeMarco but way too many people wanted him back.

It wasn't as much as everybody wanting Murray back, it was being told that a Raider castoff and a guy busted for stealing underwear were more than enough to replace him.

That is what most of us didn't agree with and it appears the front office didn't think it was adequate either.

 

[bark]

You know if I'm Seattle I think I would rather have waived him than send a potential solid piece to a conference rival. That's the only thing that gives me pause . Love all I know about this kid so far though

Just look at how they have turned around McFaddens career

Yes

In other ways...

He looks better than Lynch.

Instant demerits from me for this.

 

[Bleu Star]

Since when is a chip block a sign of a guy being a good pass protector?

Cute.

It plays into pass pro as a whole. Whether you are working blitz pickup outright, or chipping and becoming an outlet. It's all contributing to pass pro. That said, when a chip block is vuolent enough to put a guy out of the game (as that one did), I won't ever question the relevance of it in pass pro. The guys does it all. Period. Keep being cute though. It's amusing.

"My mom wanted her first child to be a girl, and she had my name picked out from Day 1," Michael said, smiling. "She thought it was unique for a boy. Now, whatever anyone wants to call me, I just go along with it."

And the knock on him is that he's a knuckle head. Apple, tree.

He better hope football works out. The music life would not be kind to him

 

[DandyDon52]

you think the coaches in Dallas will be able to force the guy to break his bad habits of using his hand wrong to run with the ball? the coaches out in Seattle couldn't force him to break his bad habits of wrongly using his hands to protect the football while running which led to a lot of fumbles.

The main beef seems to be that he does not shift the ball to his left hand, he keeps it in his right hand.
About the fumbles, he had 3 in 3 years of PS games so that is nothing, he had 1 in regular games which was not lost.

I dont think it would be smart to make him shift the ball , unless it proves to be a issue in games.
I dont think he has fumble issues, but really no way to know that unless he plays more.
In Seattle he never played on regular basis, or even at all, it was mainly turbin and lynch.

The more I read about him, it seems like this could be a real steal.
I think Seattle was stupid to let him come to Dallas in current scenario, since Dallas is a contender they will have to maybe play in playoffs.
They could have just given Dallas the missing piece they needed. Not too smart.

 

[JDSmith]

Are we keeping 4 RBs now (5 if you count Clutts)? Also why was he sort of a failure I'm Seattle... yea there is the Lynch thing but... still 51 career carries and them being willing to trade him for basically nothing seems bad

It does, but when you consider what we traded I'd say the risk is worth the potential reward. If he doesn't work out it's no big deal. Especially because it seems to be a conditional 7th. If he doesn't work out there is a chance he won't even cost us anything except a roster spot.

You think that's bad, you should talk to his sister Frank.

i liked what i saw in the highlights vid

 

[Rockport]

Then who is?

Probably Randle at least at first but expect McFadden and now Michael to get some carries. Seriously, with this offensive line it doesn't matter as much.
