Well they also said they would always been looking to upgrade their RB corp if the right situation came along. Obviously they thought this deal was too good to pass up because of the cheap cost.

Which is also why I don't buy into them saying we are good with what they have. I believe they had every intention of making a move when the time is right.

I think " I feel good about what we have" was them not making themselves look like they NEED to do something. Smart on there end

Lynch's fumbles have nothing to do with Christine Michael's ability. His issues have been well documented over the past couple of years. You know how Google works.

His issues have been that he doesn't switch arms to carry the football. His attitude? Only thing I'm getting is back to his college days. If you have something that happened in Seattle, show the forum.

And seeing as how fans still claim Murray was a fantastic blocker, I'm just going to conclude fans have a tough time determining what a great/good/bad/terrible pass blocker is.

Maybe the attitude thing is the rap vid. But that can be countered with a vid of him taking an autistic child to the prom

Most like the addition and think it'll help us overall at the position

A couple don't like it at all

One or maybe two think we just signed the next AP

Look into the zone running scheme and note what those running backs are asked to do. They're instructed to run to an area, whether it's open or not. They're told not to get creative or improvise.

That is totally untrue a good zone running back has to be able to find the crease as well as looking for a cut back lane.

A zone back has to somewhat creative or he will just be running into blockers.

We traded a conditional 7th to Seattle for Michael.................basically 3 camps commenting on this.

Camp 1............this is a great trade because our RBs suck.

Camp 2...........don't like the trade because they have claimed for weeks "team was fine with what they have" and this makes them look wrong.

Camp 3...........don't like the trade because they don't like the player (reports of fumbling issues and skipping some team meetings)

Look, the guy was third on the Seahawks depth chart because the coaches wouldn't trust him and he has never demonstrated the maturity to put in the work to get better at any of the things keeping him off of the field. He's going to have to prove that the light has come on for him if he wants to keep his roster spot here. If he turns it around, he has a chance to be good, but those types of success stories are generally the exception to the rule.

The fourth camp should be those who think there's nothing wrong with taking a low risk flier on a guy who should come with tampered expectations. Every now and then these types of moves pan out.

7th Round Conditional
He's a Stud
He's Overrated
He's a Power Back
Doesn't run with power
He's Fast
He's Slow
Good Open Field Moves
Straight-line Runner
Can Block
Can't Block
Great hands
Terrible Hands

The one thing everyone agrees on is that he's grew up a Cowboy fan...
 
If he has any talent at all, he should be the starter in a few weeks. I don't know much about him but I do know about our RB's. Not impressed with them at all.
