Good stuff as usual. I highlighted this last comment because I think it is worth repeating. We've seen enough of Michael now to know that he's not a power back, but give him a hole, even a small one, and he can turn into 5-10 yards very consistently.
Also, it feels like Michael has had more run plays sabotaged by backfield penetration than any other RB on the team so far.

Yes he did have a nice 11 yard grab, but the other times my eyes caught him, I saw a guy who didn't appear to be going all out because he knew the ball wasn't going to him. On this team, if you're not "ALL IN" in terms of your effort ... you're going to find yourself on the outside looking in real quick. I think his days on this roster are numbered.
Yeah I think you might be right. I was such a big fan of the Norwood pick, but his time in Seattle is starting to make me wonder if his success at Alabama was based on chemistry and not talent.
