I think it's Christine Michael time.

I think we see more of him today and he contributes with a big play or two. We need someone who can explode and with Harvin out he's our best chance. I think/hope he gets 5-7 carries.

I agree. would be sweet
He is fast enough to get out for screens too

Christine can't drag guys to get back the the LOS like Lynch can. This week would not be the week I would want him carrying the ball much, with the injuries to the line.

Would love to see Michael be a bigger part of the offense today..

 

[Ozzy]

You missed my point. Lynch is the guy and should get most of the carries. Michael especially as the defense tires can make some big plays and I think they need him too.

I'd like to see him used in the role they have for Harvin. Put him and Lynch on the field at the same time.

No, I got your point, I just don't agree with it. I see more bad that can happen with involving Michael more this week than good, and I'm a Michael fan.

He's not as much of a pile-dragger, and he's not as good of a blocker on passing downs. This isn't the week for that. The only plays I can see making sense for him are quick throws out of the backfield...the Texans have to be aware of that also.
