I've been high on Michaels athleticism, but I've also been a detractor since last year. My opinion was if he didn't get it by now, he wouldn't.
MIchaels showed both speed, quickness and power tonight. His fumble was a bone headed play, but he looked really good in pass protection, which was an issue with him. He picked up two blitzes and stoned both guys in their tracks. That's not easy when you're picking up a blitzing 240 lb LBer coming full speed at you.
Like Fade said, let's see what he has this preseason.
I also agree with one of the above posters: trying to evaluate RBs behind this OL is futile.
