FWST: Michael Hungry For More Work - Will Get It

After Christine Michael gained 6 yards on a third-and-1 run against the New England Patriots, the running back turned toward the Dallas Cowboys sideline and held out his arms wide as if to say, “See!”


“Just hungry to get more,” Michael explained Thursday.

Michael’s time has come.


After only 52 carries in two seasons in Seattle and two attempts in his first five games in Dallas, the Cowboys plan a bigger role for Michael this week against the New York Giants. It gives the former Texas A&M standout his best chance to show what he can do.

“I’ve got to go out there and help contribute to this team,” Michael said. “It’s a blessing to be out there. It’s a blessing that, like [the coaches] said, I’m going to have more carries. We’ll see once Sunday gets here.”

The Cowboys said leading rusher Joseph Randle still will get carries, but they have acknowledged a desire to take a look at Michael now that he is comfortable in the offense.

“We feel like he’s ready for some more carries,” offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said.

Love his fire. Guy has been a back up his whole career in the nfl. This is his shot to prove himself. Step in and take this job kid.

Just give him the load already and see what happens! The stupid pitch count crap is worthless. It's so obvious as well. Randle gets the first drive or two then we trot out Dmac. The dude is young and hasn't done anything since PS. Give him the load with a little Randle sprinkled in here and there like last year and lets roll!

If y'all follow that link, there's a locker room interview video from yesterday as well. Worth the watch.

I feel your fire. I have a very good feeling about this weekend. It should be fun.

Anything to put Randle on the bench I am game for.. I am excited about C-mike

Let's hope it's more then 2-5 carries lol

Anyone pick him up for their fantasy league?

 

[Sasquatch]

Glad he's got a big appetite because apparently there's still a lot a meat left on the bone.

I'm starting him at my flex and in a couple draft kings. Think he has a shot to do great things.

 

[John813]

Hope he does well. He wanted to be here in the offseason, now is his chance to show he deserves more playing time

Same. Have Michael as my flex.

I won him with a $12 FAAB bid(over an $8 bid). I had him earlier in the season but dropped him when BYEs started.

I'm sure it would come as no surprise to anyone that I picked him up a few weeks ago in my espn fantasy league. At the time, ownership was 0%. It is now up to 48%. I'm starting him this week alongside LeSean McCoy. Going all in..lol

Plenty left to feast on. That's for sure.

Yea, not sure how many carries he'll get, but I'm hoping Garrett will give him some goal line carries (that's if we get near the goal line, I fear it's going to be a big day for the kickers).

 

[DallasDomination]

That's what Murray used to do.. he used to want the carries. He wasn't afraid of any defense. The oline feeds off of that. We need these type of players and Cmike doing that little gesture...well its what we need, however small it is.

 

[Bleu Star]

:52

I'd like to see that happen on Sunday.

 

[dfense]

Giants have serious issues at LB. Both MLB's may be out. Run, Run, Run, Play action!!

 

[DanTanna]

Yeah if they double his carries I'll be very angry!
