News: Cowboys Trade for Christine Michael per Schefter

[Idgit]

Wondering the same thing.

I like the move quite a bit.

I like the trade, too, for what it is. But Randle's the starter going in. If somebody can take the job, that's great.

So they didn't have a backup name for a boy just in case before being born? Why not Chris?

"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."

IMO this move is more about them not trusting McFadden to stay healthy than anything else. I think DMC is most likely RB to not be on the roster come Dec.

1 fumble in 52 career carries, doesn't seem like an issue.

I keep seeing Seahawk fans saying he's fumble prone and only carries the ball in one arm. How can a guy be fumble prone when he only has 1 in 52 NFL carries. Maybe its a problem in practice or preseason?

 

[EMMITTnROY]

Serious question- think I should pick him up in my fantasy league?

Depends on the week. Keeps opponents guessing.

If you got multiple starters, it really means that you don't have one.

1 fumble in 52 career carries, doesn't seem like an issue.

As a point of reference, last season, DeMarco Murray averaged 1 fumble for every 75 touches, and people thought he was a fumbling machine.

no comment on losing edwards? how interesting

 

[Hoofbite]

Possibly a bit overstated.

We weren't overly fond of Murray, either, until last year.

People had tempered optimism with Murray. Knew he could play, just didn't know for how long in any year.

seahawks fans reacting:


"Gave him away to the best O-line in the league.

Not bothered to lose MIchael, giving him to the Cowboys though? Ouch."

-----------------------------------------------

"C-Mike is going to get to run 3 yards passed the line of scrimmage before he is even touched. Then he will get to use his explosive athleticism to make things happen. ukeface:

He is the perfect fit for that team."

-----------------------------------------------

"DAMMMMMMMMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A 7th?!?!? To Dallas?!?!"

i already picked him up in two leagues to hedge my bet. 1 i have Randal who I think this guy is more talented then then and the other i needed depth.

 

[sureletsrace]

Ecstatic.

2nd round RB on a cheap contract for a coworker 7th.

Huge win, even if you don't like him as a person.

Dude can pound the football.

Hawks fans don't seem too thrilled..

Simply down to 10 defensive linemen and a possible practice squad spot.

 

[Ken]

This guy is very much in the Murray mold.. I really like the look of the backfield now. A lot of versatility.

Yeah, I drafted Randle as my #2 back so I was thinking the same. Thanks.

Now THAT (my good fellow Cowboy fans) is how you chip/block/stone/own/protect from the RB position. Nothing soft about that intent. Michael is a bit of a personality but that's perfectly fine. We need some of that swag on the team. It's all positive. What an amazing Sunday!!!

If you have a spot, I think so.

I had a junk bench spot to burn and grabbed him.

DMC is likely going to miss some time. Any Dallas back who can stay healthy is going to be a solid option when the bye weeks roll around.

Dallas will not have a true #1 RB. It's going to be a true committee all the way, they'll feed the hot hand.
