Hope it works out, how is he in pass protection?

Not sure about his pass blocking, but they only gave up a 7th rd pick.

Yeah 7th rounder for a former 2nd rounder that has some upside, hopefully gives the most value to the Cowboys in that move. Hoping he becomes a good player for the Boys.

This guy sure looks like he has the body type and attitude to be an every down back.

On this play, his "assignment" did not get up after the play.

One on one blocking against a LB? He stinks... EZ to chip a DE when being blocked by Russell Okung...

He isn't a hard worker and he fumbles too much...

A fresh start behind the best Oline in the NFL may motivate him & be just what the doctor order. He can get paid running behind this Oline just ask Murray.....

Michael is a stud, stronger and faster than most. But he is a bonehead.
If Dallas can create hole for him, he will run wild.

But, be prepared for him to miss assignments and fumble more often than the average RB.
He will probably rush for 200+ and 3 TD's against his former team though.

...well you did cut him so you are following protocol.

We cut him?

 

[Eastbay]

We cut him?

More than likely they were. The Boyz had to trade for him because they are #27 on the priority list. Didnt want to risk some other team snatching him up.

That's a nice value IMO. From most accounts, he is a certified knucklehead, but a very talented one. A 7th rounder won't be missed if he gets his head screwed on straight.

This front office is becoming more impressive by the day.

I hope you like your back up QB.

That good huh?

Well he likely isn't playing with the starters to begin the season, so we will have to see how it all plays out.

It's rough. Michael has no situational awareness in pass pro. The kid is explosive. He can jet, and has a great burst. He'll hit the hole like a freight train.

When he picks the right hole, that is. And then you hold your breath that he he isn't going to put the ball on the turf. Maybe your coaching staff can get through to him. Ours sure couldn't.

I like the value upside, hope he pans out. Jury will certainly be out

You should. It's a fantastic risk/reward gamble. If he can learn the mental side of the game he has the physical tools to be a Pro Bowler.

Seems exactly like the type of guy you take a flyer on. If it works, great. If it doesn't, no big deal... unless he gets Romo killed.
