Turbo and Mike were gonners, tbf this years Lynch/Jackson/Rawls is way better than Lynch/Turbo/cmike, so Im not too upset now that I reflect on it

FredEx is an amazing pickup as long as he can stay healthy. He's coming to us knowing he's going to be used sparingly so I have faith he can stay healthy.

I hope. I honestly think Turbo could have been a decent replacement for Lynch, but definitely not CMike. I'm glad he's gone...even if it's to the Cowboys.

Now please don't let him beat us in the playoffs.

Seriously when is Kam coming back. :(

I'm convinced he's injured or something at this point. If not, I hope he gets fined every fuckin' dollar possible for causing this unnecessary drama on the team.

Me too. CMike has a bunch of upside. And basically no risk with only a 7th round pick. Especially considering that Cowboys are getting quite a few comp picks next year.

Yup.

In terms of the pick up, it is pretty clear what the Cowboys are looking for in a second back. Bringing in McFadden, Seastrunk, and now Michael. They want explosive runners who can capitalize on well executed plays. Explosive plays is a significant factor in determining ball games (obviously), have to capitalize on those plays when you get the chance.

I also think Randle's "meat on the bone" comment wasn't something Randle just came up with, the coaches were probably drilling that shit in his head.

A few observations over this glorious long weekend.

Sleep is still the best.

The cruise missile is still the best action star of all time and MI:5 was a ton of fun.

And Madden 16's graphics are pretty amazing on replay. Same old shit in real time. I suck too much to say if it has improved significantly from past versions.

I'm sorry but I'm having Ahman Green flashbacks here with this trade. I hope to god I'm wrong but I just see too many similarities. The Seahawks once again having a talented RB that had a few issues but was underutilized and then basically given away to another team only to blow up there.

...of course I guess you could say Buffalo did that with Lynch but goddamn, that Ahman Green thing still pisses me off to this day. Fuck Holmgren.

I don't want that to happen again with cmike.

You forget that Pete's #1 mantra is don't put the ball on the ground. You could be one of the best players in the NFL and if you fumbled it as often as CMike did you don't stand a chance.

Eh CMike clearly didnt have a future here: too loose with the ball, cant run in a zbs, and danced behind the line. Knowing that Montee ball just got outright dumped and not a single RB was claimed on waivers means there was absolutely zero demand for an RB.

I'll trust Schneider that trading a RB to a conference rival with an elite OL means he doesnt have faith in the RB to pop.

Conditional 7th seems fair based on the market.
 
Yup.

They want home run hitters who can capitalize on well executed plays.

I think CMike, at least according to the highlights that I saw could give us some of those tough yards that Demarco got us last year. Seems to be good at falling forward for a couple extra yards. Our other backs don't have that ability.
