Christine Michael already feeling comfortable with Cowboys offense

Christine Michael has only had two days of practice, but he said he’s already comfortable with the Dallas Cowboys’ playbook.

Good for him, because the sooner he understands the nuances of the playbook, the quicker he can start competing for playing time and shedding the "bust" label attached to his name.

“It’s from the same school that Seattle had,” Michael said of the Cowboys’ offense. “There’s a little bit different terminology, but I got it down in just over 72 hours. All I’ve been doing is going to work, coming home and getting into the playbook.”

Michael, a second-round pick from Texas A&M just two seasons ago, has 52 carries for 254 yards in two seasons. Seattle traded him to Dallas for a conditional seventh-round pick

“Seattle’s been good to me. They drafted me in the second round,” Michael said. “It’s a great place, but you have to move on and adapt.”...

Middle school offense.. Surprised it took him 72 hours.

I'm looking forward to seeing what he has learned.

Makes me wonder what his Wunderlic was?
Off that though- it's very good to hear him hitting the books, trying to get up to speed as quick as possible.
This team needs him completely engaged and ready to play good, smart Cowboys football and quickly.
I hope he fully understands the opportunity before him.
It sounds like he does.

That's kind of a disturbing song. Now I'm going to go throw that record on...

You crack me up Catch! I have always been right there with you but you have to admit the offense with Linny running it is night and day then when JG ran it. The mental errors, penalties, fluidity, etc.

If you think you picked it up in 72 hours, then you didn't pick it up and you don't even realize it in my book.

I have to agree with that. Unless he was given a pared down, simplified playbook that will be added to as the season progresses...
I'm grasping here.

So half the posters in this thread think CM is an idiot for taking 72 hours and the other half think CM is an idiot for saying that he was able to pick it up that fast.

Good to know.

Love the support for the new guy.

That's what he uses as a crutch when the players aren't good enough.

It's highly idiotic considering the numbers this offense has put up through the years.

Just point and laugh.

He seems like the personality type that would say he has it down regardless of whether or not it's true.

Great more highly fair and rational hatred. CM is definitely a liar. Good to know.

 

[Roadtrip635]

Hopefully he's not gonna end up being that "I got it, I got it, I got it, uh oh.....I ain't got it" kinda guy.

I think agendas have clearly been formed

Makes me want to go grab my pitchfork and light that torch I've been eyeballing for the past couple months...
Run around the yard yelling Lord of the Flies quotes at the top of my lungs...

My neighbors are already used to it. It's cool.
