He was legit then. Didn’t last long enough, unfortunately.Let’s pump the brakes on Michel. It’s one game. I thought Maroney was legit after his first 100 yard game against Cincy in ‘06.

I admit. I wanted him instead of Michel. Thought he was more of a pile mover but in a more spacial game, Sony might have been the smarter choice
Does anyone here think we should make a trade for a third RB? I don’t want either of them to wear down!
What I saw Sunday reminded me a bit of Robert Edwards. About the same size I think. Some good runs, I feel like as a rookie he’s still processing a lot of coaching on every run, which is how I felt about Edwards his only year. A promising start.Sony was fine on Sunday. No one is saying he's the next Corey Dillon.
He looked "as advertised," so keeping fingers crossed for the final book on Michel. Remember, you have to be pretty special to not split carries in a NE backfield... but I can easily see him having a bell cow (NE style) role.
What does the weather have to do with it?I’m impressed with Michel thus far. He has shown improvement and determination. Now weather he can be consistent is another matter but I think he will be somewhat
Sounds like you've got a Chubb.Anybody see the Browns Chubb last Sunday?
Next stud NFL RB. Bank on it.

Michel will break some long runs, let’s be patient. No doubting Chubb is a special talent as well. 2018 was a very deep RB draft. Royce Feeeman looks really good for Denver, and of course Saquon Barkley looks great so far.I admit. I wanted him instead of Michel.

Both listed as 5’11” 215. But you’re right, Edwards seems like he was bigger. But hell, Marshawn Lynch has always been listed as 5’11” 215, and he’s been a beast most of his career.Hmmm. A very interesting comparison. Good speed. Could turn the corner.
I remember Edwards being a bit bigger but hell it was 20 years ago...

I liked Freeman too.Michel will break some long runs, let’s be patient. No doubting Chubb is a special talent as well. 2018 was a very deep RB draft. Royce Feeeman looks really good for Denver, and of course Saquon Barkley looks great so far.

Edwards is listed on P-F-R as 5'11"/218. Sony measured 5105/214 at the Combine. Close.
Dillon is listed at 6'1"/225, so a little bigger than both. Antowain Smith is listed at 6'2"/232. Blount measured 6004/241 at his Combine.
OTOH, BGE was certainly a "power runner", and he's listed at only 5'11"/215.
