Christine Michael (1 Viewer)

[Manster]

Randle looked good. DMC looked like a competent backup. Dunbar looked great as the passing down back.

Is there room for CMike? Doesn't look like it.

Unfortunately, it looks like we'll all be stashing CMike until an injury occurs or DAL faces a great run defense. Which won't be for a handful of weeks.

Wouldn't be so sure of that just yet. Randle didn't really stand out. He has some burst and the line generally blocked well, but I don't know that he adds a lot of value himself and I think the NFL what separates starters from most backups is the ability to get yards that aren't blocked for them. Randle's ability to do that will probably determine how long he keeps his job. There were quite a few plays last night where I couldn't help but wonder how Michael would have fared with the same conditions. On the other hand, Randle and Dunbar both might be better pass catchers.

The Dez injury is an interesting wrinkle. It could put more pressure on the backs. It could not only increase Dallas's reliance on the run, but may also result in more run-stopping attention from defenses, which would stress the backs more and expose their weaknesses to a greater degree. If you think Michael is the most talented of the bunch, that may accelerate his path to significant PT. I won't panic for a while as far as his PT is concerned, but if he's not getting snaps by the week after the bye then it's probably a decisive sign that he's not showing anything in practices and/or that the coaches rate the other backs higher.

Right now I would say it's a week-to-week situation where he could be active/inactive on any given Sunday and it wouldn't be a surprise.

My take from last nights Dallas rushing performance was that none of these guys are great "between the tackles" runners. I was pleasantly surprised with how much Dunbar was used in the passing game. That seems to be where Randle is at his best too......Hell, DMC too. All three are prolly best used as situational backs.........I think CMike is gonna have an great opp. to steal the show. We need someone who's more of a bruiser like Murray was. I think people forget that Murray was a battering ram last season. Its not like he was running untouched through huge holes all the time. Dallas wants to pound the rock. Defenses know its coming a lot of the time. That's where a bruiser comes in.

Randle looked awesome as a receiver out of the backfield, but he looked horrible in pass protection.

You remember one pass play near the goal-line when Randle attempted to (and should have been flag for a) chop-block but the lineman simply vaulted him and crushed Romo (after he got his pass off)?

That was absolutely horrendous and, as a Randle owner, I was pretty damn sure he wasn't coming back in the game.

But he did. Which is promising. Still... dude can't pass-block for ####.

Yep. Same play. I was sure he would come back in though. Garrett doesn't get to make those decisions, Jerry Jones does.

 

[fridayfrenzy]

Pretty low YPC for that OL and a lower rushing total than any game last year. CMike time is getting closer.

 

[Touchdown There]

Dallas was 2nd in the nfl with 147.1 R yds/gm Denver was 15th with 111.6 R yds/gm ... advantage Dallas

He's being sarcastic in response to a Michael homer. CJ starting the season as the third running back is meaningless and I agree.

What does this mean? A "homer" means you unconditionally support the team in your home area. Supporting a player is a homer?

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Pretty low YPC for that OL and a lower rushing total than any game last year. CMike time is getting closer.

4.1 ypc on 16 carries. Not a huge sample size. Here were his yardage amounts for each run:

2, 3, 3, 5, 15, 0, 3, 5, 3, 2, 7, 5, 5, 4, 1, 2

If you count runs < 3 yds as bad, and 5+ yards as good, then Randle had:

6 good runs

5 bad runs

5 ok runs

He also didn't lose yardage a single time, which reinforces the idea that he had pretty good blocking....

Not necessarily true at all. Depends on a lot of different things. A three yard run is great on 3rd & 2 for example.

So is a 2 yard run on 3rd & 1 and a 5 yard run on 3rd and 6 is bad. But the stats were provide without context so I stand by the statement that a 3 yard run is bad but I will amend it with in a vacuum.

 

[rjv]

What yesterday's game proved that neither RUN DMC nor Randle is running away with the job. Its still up in the air, and if CM comes in and blows their stats away, well I guess he is the guy.

I will trust Faulk's point of view on an RB, before a bunch of message board chumps. It doesn't settle anything but it is certainly a more informed opinion than anyone here.

What about Faulk's opinion vs say John Schneider's?

 

[steelwind]

As a Cowboys fan the combo of CM with Dunbar is deadly. You have a tackle breaking workhorse with speed then here comes Dunbar. To me, Randle and Dunbar seem the same. Except Randle is slower but he's not big enough to break tackles, doesn't stand out just gets what's blocked. Reminds me of....Julius Jones who is one of the worst starting RB to ever wear a Cowboys uniform.

Agree. I wasn't looking to do deep statistical analysis. Just looking at a rough cut. Again, agree with your comment.

Murray had a ton of yards after contact, but that's because he had a ton of carries. On a per carry basis, he was pretty average there.

Well, we know what DMAC is. A full head of steam into his O-linemen's backs. And I know it was the first game, but Randle did not look impressive between the tackles.

 

[Thunderlips]

Same as preseason. Don't understand why the Seahawks would trade him if he were such a talent.....but he's in a great situation in DAL; with average competition and a great line. If you have the roster space to hold onto him....he might pay dividends later in the year. I have him as an RB6 and won't cut until I need a BYE week K or D.

"The potential fourth back in the committee, Christine Michael, was inactive a week after getting traded to Dallas from the Seahawks. Garrett said Michael had a productive week learning the offense.
“He got acclimated to how we do things here and he’s trying to understand our system and he’s worked hard, both in the meetings and after practice to try to get himself to understand what we’re doing,” Garrett said. “He’s made a lot of progress in a short period of time.”"

From the CBS feed:

While running back Christine Michael was inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Giants, Cowboys coach Jason Garrett said the newcomer has "made a lot of progress in a short period of time" since his acquisition from the Seahawks.

Although, it seems it would take an injury to the running back trio of Joseph Randle, Lance Dunbar and Darren McFadden before Michael gets his chance to make an impact.

"I do think if any time one of them has an injury or isn't 110 percent, then we'll see what Christine Michael has to bring to the table as well," Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Monday during a radio interview, per The Dallas Morning News.

CJ Anderson needed 2 injuries to get on the field last year and was a top 3 RB down the stretch.

Michael has been on the team for all of a week at this point. Nobody should expect him to be active if the other Backs are healthy for the first few weeks.

They have McFadden on a low pitch count, presumably for this reason. If that continues he isn't nearly as likely to get injured for obvious reason. Randle might be your better bet.

Very good sign. Unlike in Jacksonville where the coach refers to his top player's injury timeline as "they said it could range from whatever weeks to whatever, I haven't had a chance to visit with our trainers." Julius Thomas is their top guy and his coach barely pays attention to him because he's off the field. But Christine Michael isn't even on the active roster and his coach is referring to him with a nickname after a week of being on the team.

Again, very good sign.

It demonstrates a fundamental lack of understanding of the most basic aspects of NFL football.

I was afraid of this.. (Murray owners showing up) Look we just speculate that "CMike" will be actice and get a few snaps.. He wont start.. He also probably is less likely to see the most snaps too.

Anyone who was expecting CMike to be active week one doesn't understand gameday roster logistics.

Both Randle and McFadden run hard and fast with limited elusiveness and skinny frames. The chances of one of them going down are fairly high. When (not if) that happens CMike will get his chance and then we'll be able to cast some real judgments. But you probably have to stash him now in competitive leagues because once the gate opens, you may not get him.

Some idgit in my dynasty league just dropped cmike ahead of today's waivers. I want to put in a claim for him but don't want to overspend.

What are you guys seeing in % FAAB money lately for him?
