You would think. But with Randle not playing for over 3 quarters last week he still only had 7 snaps.pretty funny.

Well it was a bad day for Joe yesterday, demoted and (likely to be) suspended.Randle might be gone a while.@AdamSchefter: Cowboys' RB Joseph Randle violated NFL's personal conduct policy, facing discipline, per @toddarcher and me.

They knew what they had with an undrafted rookie and that was more than they thought the "uber" talented Michael, who had been on their roster for 2.5 years, would give them?Part of the reason I don't think he worked out in Seattle is that they know what they have in Rawls. They let both Turbin and Michael go, guys they had kept on there..
Nice Rumsfeld quote. Totally agree. Don't even know what we don't know.I think your feelings on Cmike come down to personality.
People that play for upside and like to take chances have no problem riding this thing to the grave...more conservative players are going to look at the situation and shake their head.
Personally, im a high upside guy...I taking my chances on these types of plays because they can win you a league.
We know Cmike has the physical gifts, but we really dont know why he didnt workout in Seattle, or why he hasnt just taken the job over in Dallas....a lot of unknown unknowns.
To sum it up.

I disagree. I think his role,is determined by his understanding of the playbookIt seems likely that CMike will begin to see an increase in his touches in relief of DMac, and his role going forward should be largely determined first by DMac's productivity and ability to avoid injury and second by CMIke's success in his limited touches. For those who believe Christine Michael just needs an opportunity to display his abilities, it should come, and if he plays smart and disciplined and breaks off some nice runs, his role should increase, regardless of what McFadden does.
I don't know why Michael has failed to thrive thus far. We have seen Michael look very Bryce Brown-ish, breaking off decent runs in limited use, almost exclusively in exhibition games, however. There is obviously more that we are not seeing or Seattle would not have been so willing to part ways with him, and Dallas would be more willing to give him more opportunities than he has thus far garnered.
I still like Michael as an upside play, and the failed hype and limited use only serves to drive his price downward. If your roster allows an end-of-the-bench lottery-type player, CMike is certainly rosterable, but for how much longer? The opportunity is never going to get much better than it is presently, and if Michael does not seize this opportunity and break through soon, there is no reason to believe he ever will. Every week I maintain Michael at the end of my bench I miss out on another potential lottery ticket.
It's time to put up or shut up.

No, I don't think so. I'm too lazy to cite a source, but I've read that Michael fancied himself a star, had a bad attitude, and didn't work hard. Really, not dissimilar from Trent Richardson.Part of the reason I don't think he worked out in Seattle is that they know what they have in Rawls.

Agreed. I think everyone sees the talent. It looked like they were getting ready to give him more carries after the bye but something happened during that bye week that stopped them from doing so. Odds are this is a mental issue. Can't grasp the playbook or just can't translate it to the field. Doesn't matter if you can run if you aren't hitting the right hole, lining up correctly, or are missing blocking assignments. Wish we could get a for sure answer from the coaches on what is happening with him.I disagree.

Yep, agree!Call me crazy, but I don't think they're going to give McFadden 31 touches every week. Michael should see the ball at least enough to get a better idea what he looks like in a game.
link to pics?For me it was the outline of his junk in his underoos during weigh-ins at the combine. The BMI and talent level of that thing was off the charts impressive!

But with Randle out, is there any 'revenge game' factor vs Seattle this week? Hell if Andre Johnson put up 2 tds vs Houston, anything is possible.

There is no such thing as revenge games. Physical specimens going at 100% on both sides of the ball can't suddenly will themselves into a magical performance. Sure sometimes they will have a good game against a former team but that just has to do with them being able to perform.Sorry if this was already brought up, too many new pages every hour so I usually just skim the most recent posts

I would agree he must play with an understanding of the playbook, and that is part of what I was referring to in saying he must play smart and disciplined. If he does that, and that is a pretty big 'if' at this point, based on Michael's apparent history, it would surprise very few to see Michael overtake McFadden in fairly short order.I disagree.

Have you ever played sports? Was there ever a time when you played one of your rival schools or something? Did that game feel the same or different as playing a team without much of a rivalry? The thing about human beings - even physical specimens - is that they don't always go 100%. People can get amped up to play at a higher level. Sometimes that higher level translates into magical performances. Sometimes it leads to dumb penalties or nervous mistakes on the field. Either way, I think it is definitely a real thing.There is no such thing as revenge games.

http://espn.go.com/blog/dallas-cowboys/post/_/id/4744911/christine-michael-trade-doesnt-change-cowboys-rb-plansBut a quick word of caution: Don’t expect Michael to be THE guy in the Cowboys’ backfield.
The move is more about insurance and depth.
The Cowboys gave up a low-round conditional draft pick for Michael, hardly a sign they will make a heavy investment on him from the get-go.
Perhaps there is still some concern about Joseph Randle's availability throughout the season stemming from an offseason arrest in Wichita, Kansas. He missed the team’s kickoff luncheon to attend to legal affairs, and the NFL could still look to punish him through the personal conduct policy at some point, if not by the Week 1 opener against the New York Giants.
Yes. Exactly. I still like C-Mike though it just might take a while. I am frustrated too but do you guys remember the Michael Turner years when he was behind LT. It was agony. Then he eventually got a chance in Atlanta and became the RB1 we all thought he could be. Maybe the same will hold true for C-Mike?

Have you ever played a sport? I presume not, based on your post. I can tell you for certain that emotions play a HUGE part in athletic performance to the positive and negative side. If a player feels slighted by his former team, you bet your sweet little tuchas he is going to give every play more juice than he would normally. Not because normally he doesn't play hard...but BC he's playing at an unsustainably hard pace for this game.There is no such thing as revenge games.

I think in Cmike's case though there should've already been a fire lit under his ### because he was fighting for carries and the lead role and a job more or less. So I don't there will be much of a difference in the effort he's been giving so far in the season and the game vs. Seattle.Have you ever played a sport? I presume not, based on your post.

Why would Michelle be motivated for a "revenge"??? The Seahawks drafted him in 2013. He sat behind one of the best RBs in the league for two years. They felt he was not in their future plans so traded him to a team that he would have a shot at. What would he be angry at:I don't agree.
