" ESPN Packers reporter Rob Demovsky does not expect Christine Michael to "make much, if any, impact" on Sunday's game in Washington.

Especially for a player of Michael's track record, it would seem extremely aggressive to anticipate him making any immediate impact after one week of practice.

Michael is just a stash-and-hope deep-league prayer in re-draft fantasy "

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.

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

He wasn't having a terrible season for the Seahawks to this point.

117 carries/469 yards/6 TD rushing
20 rec/96 yards/1 TD rushing

2 fumbles, 1 lost

Not sure what really happened to cause him to be released--maybe they really did just need the roster spot--but the Pack's FO has ties with Seattle's so you'd assume they'd have good information on him.

Packers are the only team in the nfl without a TD from a running back.

Fugly.

I think this explains why:

Immaturity has been Michael's biggest problem. A second-round pick of the Seahawks in '13, he did not distinguish himself with some of his actions on the field, including celebrating a first down he thought he got but actually didn't because he slowed down near the marker, waving off running back Marshawn Lynch as he came in to replace Michael and intermittently missing assignments.

“You might see the great cut one time and then not the next, and it’s the exact same scenario,” offensive-line coach Tom Cable told the Seattle Times in 2014. “He comes across and makes a great blitz pickup one play and then he’s supposed to chip and then, ‘Oh, I’m going to get out for my route, and oops I forgot to chip.’

"It’s just being able to put a good play together and then a good one the next time and the next time. When that becomes his habit, then he owns it. Right now he doesn’t own it.”

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.

I think this could be a great pick-up. There wasn't much else to pick from, and Michael falls into our laps. The Vikings even tried to get him.

I'm also looking to the future. We don't have to hedge our bets with Lacy if we think Michael can perform better.

I doubt he is a Lacy replacement. He is just best available in November guy.

[King Friday]

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?

Because maintaining a huge edge in special teams (wait, do we really have one? Ah, who cares. Just keep pimping it) is priority numero uno for this joke of a front office. Why bother with RBs when we need 29 guys capable of special teams brilliance.

We have 29 guys who are decent ST players?

if he plays well he'll be starks replacement.

read a quote from him from an interview held yesterday i guess. he said he's going to take his job "more seriously." i thought this was pretty telling.

the Packers are due for something good to happen. smh

Green, great play in the Super Bowl getting to Big Ben and forcing an under throw ball in which Collins picked for 6.

What is hope? Hope looks awfully a lot like an illusion. Screw hope. Just win out, baby!

[gbgary]

Packers WON'T activate Lacy or Shields from IR this year!! they're done.

[Fritz]

How do you know this? Did you read something?

I have a feeling you're right, though. Shields seems to be toast, and Lacy wouldn't be back until the playoffs, which seem out of reach right now.
