Sony Michel Thread

[Jigga94]

Which WR in my 1st team would you be willing to trade for him? Any besides Julio, Cooks and Davis is my thought

Well as a combined Burkhead-Michel-Hill owner to start the year this clarifies things.

Does it though? They're just going to give their new RB3 some run. Same maddening RB rotation, just different guys.

[DynastyDeepDive]

Time will tell. Have to give him some time. Bell struggled his first few games and didn't set the world on fire.

I'm kinda feeling like Michel is going to be a James White clone in NE. I can never tell the difference between the two on the field. I'm betting it's going to take a shakeup in NE for him to get a significant workload.

A shakeup like being the only healthy between the tackles runner on the team?

He's already been the offense the last 2 games and they've been terrible, not sure why anyone would start him. Of course that means 3 TD game incoming.

This is why I've never wanted any Pats RB on my team since Stevan Ridley's one good year!

RBs are unpredictable enough as it, never mind these freaking guys.

Until Pats figure out passing game ... which,granted, could happen when Edelman returns ... Michel won’t be focus of anything productive.

Never understood why everyone hypes all the rookies up “best RB class 6 deep” blah blah before the season and after a few games into there careers everyone bashes them.

Seems like a lot of people never played football at a higher level than pop warner or high school to really understand the difference between the game speed and how it takes time to transition.

Let the kids understand the playbook, practice and get some game flow before judging them.

Um, you’re correct. Most of us probably didn’t play College or professional football.

I guess that validates your argument.

[Krypto_King]

RB is a volatile position. If we liked a guy, it was from his game film or production over 9 months ago. Nothing to say Michel can't look good in the future but so far he has not looked like a good running back to me. The exact opposite is Kerryon Johnson who I now want everywhere after having basically no interest out of Auburn. This is why I hate the no preseason camp; RB movement is very easy to evaluate off a very tiny sample.

I apologize any sport at a higher level than high school whether that be basketball, baseball etc. There’s a massive learning curve but football obviously takes the longest to adapt to being the most physical

maybe dj moore but i would trade corey davis for michel

Michel has absolutely looked like JAG so far

I agree. Tentative, slow, indecisive, no lateral agility, and going down at the point of contact. I grabbed him late in a redraft league that has positional limits because he was hurt at the time and I got home very late. After watching him the last couple of weeks I released him for another option from the waiver wire. I am not at all impressed and don't see him picking up any kind of a significant role this season.

I'm pretty sure the sport where you spend 6 years in the minor leagues to prepare and usually still aren't ready is the tougher sport to adapt to.

Sony was sitting around for 6 weeks wasn't he? He's probably just a little out of shape + maybe some nerves and learning a new OL/scheme
