After the Seahawks cut Christine Michael on Tuesday, the Vikings put in a waiver claim on the running back, reports Adam Schefter of ESPN (Twitter link). The Vikings (5-4) were behind the NFC North rival Packers (4-5) in the waiver order, however, so Michael landed with Green Bay on Wednesday.



Pretty embarrassing that we're above the Vikes in the claim order.

Sounds like this dude isn't the brightest bulb. Dunno, maybe this "one cut" running theme will help him.

Expecting Michael to make a significant impact is likely unrealistic, though, as the Seahawks parted with the 26-year-old thanks to consistency issues, per Jayson Jenks of the Seattle Times.

After beginning the season in red-hot fashion (45 carries, 232 yards, two touchdowns in the first three weeks), Michael rushed 72 times for a meager 237 yards over his final six games as a Seahawk. He picked up just 10 combined carries in the previous two weeks, with Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable pointing out that Michael has experienced problems reading plays.

Michael is just another RB who has showed enough flashes at times to keep people thinking that maybe eventually he will get it. We needed a RB and we probably got the best one that was available to us so yeah, it was probably a good signing. Rawls is coming back in Seattle which means there were two rookies on the roster who Schneider figured were better than this guy. He may get a few first downs or even a TD or two for us but he is not going to be our savior.

Interesting perspective from Spox.com :

Etwas überraschend hatte Seattle Michael Anfang der Woche entlassen, obwohl er sein Team mit 469 Rushing Yards und sechs Touchdowns angeführt hatte. Für Michael ist diese Saison schon jetzt die beste seiner Karriere. Doch die Rückkehr vom rekonvaleszenten Thomas Rawls sowie die ansteigende Form von Rookie C.J. Prosise (153 Scrimmage-Yards gegen die Patriots) machten den Running Back offenbar obsolet.

Da die Trade Deadline hinter uns liegt, musste der Zweitrundenpick der Seahawks des Jahres 2013 die Waiver-Liste durchlaufen. Die Green Bay Packers forderten ihn an und bekamen den Zuschlag. Dort wird er ein Backfield verstärken, das durch zahlreiche Verletzungen deutlich geschwächt ist. Eddie Lacy steht bereits auf IR, James Starks war lange Zeit verletzt und kehrte erst am letzten Sonntag auf den Platz zurück.

In der Zwischenzeit versuchten sich die Packers an Notlösungen aus der Free Agency sowie aus den eigenen Reihen - Wide Receiver Ty Montgomery etwa bekam einige Touches aus dem Backfield. Trotz der Personalsituation schlugen sich die Packers bislang aber sehr gut im Lauf-Spiel und belegen Platz 8 in der Liga mit 4,6 Yards pro Carry.

I will be honest: I had no idea the Packers rank 8th in the league in yards per carry. I wonder how much Rodgers' personal yardage is inflating that number? We all know that when a quarterback is forced to break out of the pocket and scramble, his yards per carry average tends to look good, even if his total yardage isn't that high.
