That's what he was trying to do when he fumbled.
Touche. :lol:

Do agree that he looked confused about a few of the huddle calls, interrupted RW a couple times seemingly to ask clarication.
:lol: Who did he hear that from? Or was it that he saw that Michael was getting up near the LOS when RW was making protection calls?

Gee tweeted out that Russell was literally having to tell Michael the play twice in the huddle seemingly every down..........then still having to move him in pass pro.
So not sure what the problem is, but it's definitely contributing to the offense sputtering. Hard to get your tempo going when Russell not only has the spend the entire play clock moving people around, but probably can't trust your RB to do the right thing.
Yeah...Lynch did that at the end of a game at the goal line. It happens. Any fantasy owners should probably start him next week. Particularly with Pete's recent comments about not running the ball enough, about Michael competing to get the 1st down instead of going down on the play, and Michael wanting redemption.Hawknballs":1ikqhfyg said:Whatever happened in camp and the rest of the game, fact of the matter is that in that situation you need to be conscious of ball security because a turnover is game over.
And a turnover was game over.
Who turned it over?
Michael did.
The game was over because Michael failed to secure the ball.
I mean whatever else you think about him is moot and you never want to be in a game like that where one mistake will end it. But it was.
So, I mean, he's not the worst player of all time but he quite literally 'dropped the ball', which sealed the defeat.

Seahawks RB Christine Michael running 'like he shot out of a cannon'

RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll was asked Monday for his thoughts on how Christine Michael ran the football against the Los Angeles Rams.
"Really well. He hit it really well," Carroll said. "He looks like he shot out of a cannon. He’s really quick. He’s just getting going. I think he’s really going to get better and more efficient. He had the unfortunate turnover, but other than that he really hit it really well. He must be averaging 5 yards a carry or something. First two games, that’s pretty good."

The Seahawks' comeback attempt stalled when Michael fumbled after a reception on the final drive. But he carried 10 times for 60 yards in the game.
And looking at the bigger picture, the way he's run the ball has been encouraging. Michael has been the team's most productive back. He's averaging 5.0 yards per rush on 25 attempts. The rest of the team's backs have combined for 23 yards on 22 carries (1.05 YPC).
Carroll has made it clear that he believes the inconsistencies in the run game are a major reason why the Seahawks' offense has totaled just 15 points through the first two games.
"We’re not getting the same balance that we felt. With mixing the run game and the pass game, we can play off the running game," Carroll said. "It just hasn’t been as obvious right off the bat. That’s an issue."
As a team, the Seahawks are averaging 3.2 yards per carry (25th). Last year, that number was 4.54 (seventh).
The run blocking needs to improve, but Michael is averaging 2.72 yards before contact, 10th-best in the league. He's averaging 2.32 yards after contact, which ranks fourth.
Granted, it's a small sample size, but Thomas Rawls is averaging 0.21 yards before contact, which ranks last among 45 qualifying players. He's 34th in yards after contact (1.11).
Michael started the first game, and then it was Rawls in Week 2. But Rawls suffered a leg contusion, meaning Michael could get another shot this weekend against the San Francisco 49ers.
Once everyone is healthy, Carroll still envisions both backs complementing each other.
"We need to get [Rawls] out there, stay out there, get a feel for the game and start to feel the effect that he brings," Carroll said. "I think that’s part of what we kind of anticipated, seeing his input and complement Christine, who is doing a nice job. I think it’s going to be a nice one-two punch, we just have to get him back out there."

Brock talked about it too this morning, cause Salk was yelling about not getting the plays off in time...........and Brock explained it was because Russell was having a hard time Sunday getting everyone lined up, especially Michael.
So yes, Michael was a problem Sunday in his pass pro. Year #4 and dude still is having a hard time with getting in the right place and knowing his blocking schemes? Then fumbles? Sorry man, I can't trust that RB.
That could also help to explain why in this game, and actually dating back to some previous games too, you can see Glow turn to look back at RW as if for a protection signal that he can relay up to the line.StoneCold":1zpyxxkj said:I assumed this was a noise issue. Russ was setting protections or changing the play and Michael simply couldn't hear.

This post is technically correct, but does not tell the whole story.
