Seattle tends to be patient with talent, it has served them well in the past with other guys who had raw ability but did dumb shit (Golden Tate, Bruce Irvin, etc). Maybe they cut him, but I doubt it, it just goes against their MO. And Carroll's presser last week strongly indicated that Michael was not in any danger of losing his job.
You picked this subject to get your ass banned? Really?Bob loblaw":2mwq2m8f said:Great signing , he can give a motivational speech in what it was like to play with Jim Brown. Turd is old
Not banned but if you have nothing of value to say I'd suggest just not saying anything. Especially given age doesn't seem to be a huge factor for him if you look at his actual performance and the intangibles he brings that this team is literally crying out for currently.Bob loblaw":36mbyj6p said:Great signing , he can give a motivational speech in what it was like to play with Jim Brown.

My only concern about him is injury not his age because he's uniquely freaky in that area especially for a running back.

He has a chance to be more of a weapon as a receiver on 3rd downs, due to his superior tackle breaking ability, acting as a safety valve for the scrambling Wilson. He averaged nearly 9 yards after the catch last season with 19 broken tackles as a receiver.

Agreed. And the fact he's a great outlet receiver, leader with huge locker room presence, while being Marshawn's best bud and Kam not being here has to factor in.Scottemojo":253glzpu said:I suspect Fred is here to pass block primarily.

Bob loblaw":at96v4ry said:Firstly , that was straight funny and the point had a ton of value. JS invested a 2nd round pick in C-Mike an just acknowledged that they are giving up on him by signing an over the hill RB, who was injured a lot. If CM was good enough they could have waited on Turbin with Michael holding down the backup. The RB situation just got very interesting, marshawan is the rock but everyone else just fell off around him. It's now time for the Seahawks to look for the back of the future again. C-Mike is not it. That is a post of value.
