    Breakaway ability for RBs is overrated, especially if they are sniffing the ass of someone on the OL every other snap.

    Give me a guy who consistently gets 5 yard a carry.
    It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!

    Seems perfectly reasonable.

    I think I would have preferred Green to Bennett on screens, and definitely would have taken him as a blocker over Jackson, even though Jackson was pretty darn good once he got the hang of it. So, no genetic hocus pocus needed, just the cloning of Ahman Green..............................

    He has no vision running. MM preaches plant the foot and go. Chrissy plants both feet, dances a jitterbug, goes, then stops. Reverses course, commits to a hole, sees the safety so he breaks it outside. Strings the OLB out worse than I'm stringing out this analogy and then falls over.

    hahahaha That's what you want? On a clearly PASS FIRST team like the Packers are and should be, I'll take the home run hitter every time; You can have the damn plodder. The D makes a play just one time or a penalty or whatever, and you punt it away. No thanks.

    I suppose to some extent it's true that Michael wasn't a very good example of that change of pace/breakaway threat because of his alleged lack of vision and/or stupidity. He's gone now, so he's no longer relevant. I hope this new guy, Aaron Jones is the "scatback" somebody said he was - and not so allegedly myopic and dumb. I guess you can never have too many Aarons in your backfield.
    What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

    It sounds like you're describing Barry Sanders - except maybe for the falling down part.

    And you just described the difference between barry and chrissy

    Barry could make defenders miss and fall down just by planting and twisting. Michael did not take the time to make that happen. He never set anyone up. He wanted to outrun them all.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    Agonizing wait for him to figure out how to run with the blockers. But he did get it eventually.

    Goddammit, Jonathan Franklin woulda been a contender.

    Come on Fritz. If you're going to use "woulda", then you have to use "contenda".

    I think the big issue with Michael is a poor work ethic. Not a guy you want lingering around spoiling all this new RB meat.
