    He seemed better last week than the first week. He broke tackles, and carried DBs a bit. He even showed patience finding holes. I expect him to get better with experience.

    No reason he can't be a combo RB/WR like Sproles.

    If he can block a lick, its the perfect job. Stick him where you get instant mismatch.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    I like Monty coming out of the backfield. He can run, run screens, shift out to a WR position...tons of options. Can he throw?
    C.H.U.D.

    Hope I am wrong, but that kid has been all hype and no production so far. Seahawks replaced him with Thomas Rawls as soon as they could.

    Really what can it hurt at this point? If he flops, they are no worse off.

    Lots of injuries, someone's backup gets released. Michael is the 3rd RB, one more than previous.

    But at this point, what do we have to lose?? If he doesn't work out big freaking deal. If he does, good for us.

    No production? I checked and he's averaging 4 yards a carry this season. Perhaps a change in scenery will do him good.

    Michael, aka, C-MIKE, had a change of scenery in Dallas last season. All he did there was post for a photo with a pigish 5-0 before getting waived.

    [Shakin' head] Young uns today and their softcore rap music. Kanye West is an educated mofo; act all black panther, but has never been with a black woman in his life. That goddamned white rapper from Detriot- goddamn him. Don't even get me started with that sell out moosefucker Drake.

    And what the fuck's with rappers collaborating with country musicians? If Pac and Biggie were alive today, they'd be shaking their heads in disgust at all the crap today. In my youth, we wore baggy jeans and we listen to hardcore gangsta rap like Wu Tang, NWA, Ja Rule, Diddy, Masta P, V-Ice along with Pac and Biggie.

    Anyways, if you read JSO, they're saying C-Mike has some kung fu but he's froggin' unprofessional. Once waved Beast Mode - BEAST MODE! - back toward the sidelines. Maybe he'll start acting professionally in dull and dark Green Bay, who knows?

    I have two words: Howard Green

    Why not? Hope is all we have right now.

    We did good the last time we got a Sea RB, Ahman Green
    Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

    Things you hear that you didn't know, Dept..

    Christine Michael was selected the next pick (61) after Eddy Lacy in the 2013 draft.

    Something else I didn't realize until I saw it today. why are we carrying two fullbacks on the roster when we really don't play one of em? Joe Kerridge is the same size as the Ripper, but neither of 'em see the field. Couldn't we use that spot for another RB, WR, or CB or something?

    Man, this is a weird year.

    Kerridge was brought up to help the hemorrhaging special teams. He took that WR's place.
