Christine Michael Returns To Seahawks

“I think we all are counting on it”. “I talk about it to you guys all the time”. He’s been given a gift. The team moving on from their former 2nd round pick was them deciding to give up on the talented athlete.

The Seahawks, desperate for depth at running back following injuries to Marshawn Lynch and Thomas Rawls, announced they re-signed Christine Michael Wednesday.

For whatever reason, Michael can’t seem to establish himself with a team.

Judging by the first looks and words from Michael, he’s gotten Cable’s message.

After making the first 18 kicks of his career, Travis Coons has had three field goal attempts blocked in four attempts over the last three games against San Francisco, Cincinnati and Baltimore.

“Man, I’m happy to be here”.

It was an unexpected move but emphasized the situation the Seahawks find themselves in.

Michael played five games for the Cowboys, carrying the ball just 15 times for 51 yards and no touchdowns. He then caught on with Washington’s practice squad before being released from that as well this week. Rawls got hurt in the first quarter of Sunday’s win at Baltimore.

He was asked about getting the call from the Seahawks. The Cleveland Browns rank 29th in the league (131.3 yards per game) and the St. Louis Rams are tied for 21st (115.9).

The Seahawks haven’t had to deal with so many issues in their backfield since the opening days of Carroll’s tenure in Seattle.

“They have to maintain their gap control and also allow the linebackers to fit properly by their play”, Carroll said. “He really is. We should have come up with tailbone”.

“That’s what this is about right now for these young guys”, Harbaugh said Monday.

The three of these running backs will have to fill in for the Seahawks until Lynch returns or maybe the remainder of the season if Beast Mode is unable to play. If we can keep playing games, it’ll help. He got pulled for that and angrily talked to on the sidelines for that. The Seahawks will need Lynch back for the last game of the regulator season and the playoffs. Run the football. Read it well. “The more we can play, the better his chances are, so we’ll see”.

Brown will start ahead of Fred Jackson, the third-down back. He has 226 carries for 1,004 yards.

Seizing the opportunity is precisely what Brown and Michael hope to do.

Michael’s return means the Seahawks get back a player who has familiarity with the offense. Yesterday the Redskins released him.

Carroll used the same word for what he’s given Michael again with the Seahawks. Carroll said Michael was “very serious and very focused and wants to do something with this opportunity”.
