It was a unique situation though considering who we were playing. He lost himself emotionally against a team that traded him.His running style is OK. I think he would do great things with this team.
It's his mind that bothers me. He has to get past that self-centeredness.
It did look like he was running right over to his coach when he came off the field for tips and encouragement.
A lot of people guessed that he wasn't smart enough to learn the playbook. What I have been seeing is a ton of physical ability but a ton of little lapses. Not necessarily mental mistakes but things that drive coaches crazy.
The Sammy Sosa stuff before every play is one thing. The over excitement after a nice run when losing is another. He just seems too lost in his personal battle and not the team's situation. Which can be hard if you really believe that you could help the team the most if you were the starter.
I didn't like the hip bump after that drop and I didn't like the fraternizing(and that goes for all of them).
Something just seems OFF with him, which is shame because as we saw on that run that was called back, he has the power to run through Earl Thomas and the speed to get down the sideline. I do think he needs to have a larger share of the carries. McFadden can't be counted on week to week.
They trusted the Rookie Rod Smith to be in on passing downs when McFadden was out instead of C-Mike. Rod Smith has 2 career carries (none with the Cowboys) and zero pass receptions yet they appear to trust him more than C-Mike.
They need to give him the Private Pyle "blanket party" treatment from Full Metal Jacket.
Rod Smith was in on pass protection and Michael was on the bench. They do not trust Michael at all to pass protect and that's most likely the main reason he gets so few snaps a week. He must improve cause defenses are noticing it and they play the run when he is in
I actually think we have found our rotation at this point, DMC starting with Michael as the change of pace guy, then Randle as a 3rd down back when he returns to the active roster.

I liked on his first run when his mouthguard was on top of his helmet. Another dumb player on a team full of them. #RKG
