I've read that Turbin is the 3rd down back for blocking and receiving and Christine Michael the true back up to Lynch but I only saw Turbin on the field in Monday's game.
Homers weigh in????

The logo makes me trust this, but my answer would've been the same.Turbin is his true back up, but if Lynch can walk he'll play.
I think so. That's why they made a special dolly cart for him so he can move around.ex-ghost said:Doesn't Lynch usually sit on Wednesdays?
This, but Christine Michael would be the guy to own if Lynch missed time.fantasycurse42 said:Lynch is fine.
Lots of things. They dont even let him play.Man I was getting worried there for a minute. Turbin is just a stop gap RB that doesn't seem special. I'm not sure what's keeping Michael from the #2 RB spot officially (pass protection maybe) because every time he touches the ball I get butterflies in my stomach.

9 touches on they year, all of them in the week 3 Jax blowout. I drafted him as a Mr Irrelevant, but cut him when it seemed for whatever reason he wasn't sniffing the field. That said, the Seahawks next three games (TB, Atl & Vikes) seem to be have blowout potential for some garbage time looks. But as far as a handcuff, it seems hard to believe Seattle would pin the rose on a kid that has seen almost no game time. Maybe he moves into Turbin's 3rd down role, at least initially?Lots of things. They dont even let him play.Man I was getting worried there for a minute.

This is actually funny.Marshawn Lynch suffered a bruised ego in Monday nights win over the Rams. He is expected to play this week.
didn't you advise others to start harvin "with confidence" week 8 against rams? are you saying he is the cuff in redraft?Michael is the guy to own.
The most consistently updated information will usually be posted here.any reports yet if Lynch is practicing today? From what I read, Lynch does often take Wed off but in past it's been noted as "day of rest". This time the knee was mentioned instead. Too early to panic, but something to at least monitor.
I think that was just Otis being Otis.Weren't people all over Turbin's tip just last year? Has the shine really fallen off already?
I am pretty sure it was more than Otis.I think that was just Otis being Otis.Weren't people all over Turbin's tip just last year? Has the shine really fallen off already?
Agree, and I'm an excited Michael owner. I just don't see him going from not active/no role to being the man when they have an every week backup they're fine with.Michael is the RB of the future, but I doubt he is the starter if Lynch goes down. At least not initially. If Lynch went down tomorrow, maybe Michael would get 20 carries in one of the last couple games, but I see Turbin being the guy this year.
My evidence. Feel free to post yours.I am pretty sure it was more than Otis.I think that was just Otis being Otis.Weren't people all over Turbin's tip just last year? Has the shine really fallen off already?

I have faith in most NFL backup players, especially running backs. I'm not delusional thinking that starters are that much better than backup players. Every guy on an every NFL roster is so many standard deviations above the mean in athleticism its beyond silly. So yeah, I think don't think Seattle will miss a beat if Lynch were to go down with injury. Further, I explained myself in detail in that thread. I gave credit to the Seattle offensive line and Tom Cable more than either player.Seems to be a lot of excitement over the guy in that thread. You even said you think the Hawks wouldn't miss a beat if Marshawn went down.

Hey - Why does your QB suck so much? How are you ever going to win a SB with 100 + yards of offense? You know Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Colin Kapernick etc will carve up your D in the playoffs like RG3 and Matt Ryan did last year.
A league source tells Profootballtalk that Marshawn Lynch (knee) is in no danger of missing Week 9.
This was our expectation all along. Lynch routinely pops up on the injury report with ailments that don't hold him out of game action. He's a top-five option against Greg Schiano's disintegrating Bucs defense.

That said, Otis was the one that was all in on Turbin being all that. He went overboard with his schtick that only Otis can sling. He tends to be a bit over the top. It only got worse when he saw the picture of Turbin from the combine where he was flashing his freaky biceps.

The guy is a terror. I'd love to see what he can do with a full plate of work and some confidence.
I know Micheal is a rookie without the experience of Moreno but it could be similar to Denver last year when they had McGahee the lead back and Hillman the COP back with Moreno inactive on game days. When Mcgahee went down everyone assumed that Hillman would take over the lead but Denver used Moreno as the lead back and kept Hillman in his same roleI am placing my chip on Turbin. I just think they go with experience here. How many games has Michael been a scratch this season?
