The only way Belichick benches him is if he gets injured or starts fumbling. At the end of the day Belichick drafted him him in the first round and will not let the world know his first round pick is a failure after his second year only. He is a watch me type of coach Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Or are you saying Michel was drafted in the 1st round of your fantasy draft? I’m not sure which is stranger. Or maybe I’m totally missing what you’re saying. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He was injury prone how is that a valid argument?? If Michel stays healthy and doesn’t fumble he will keep starting especially if they really don’t need the run game with all the WRs they got Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jrt80 228 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 He had like 17 snaps & 2 runs the whole game, in a blowout. I’m not saying he won’t have a few okay games but he’s definitely not a RB2. And his floor is to low/inconsistent to be my flex. I may drop/throw him in a trade if I can Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jrt80 228 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Honestly what’s the difference between him and Jordan Howard on the eagles. They both appear to have the same role. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dudewithabadcat 1,078 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 This just isn't making sense. Not sure if Michel is doing his best impression of Ridley.....which would mean the fumbles are coming next. Just so strange that he is not performing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Draft the cheapest guy... 2015: Dion Lewis was a Waiver wire add, until he broke down 2016: Blount was almost free, 9th-10th rd. 2017: Gillislee, drafted 5th-6th rd, however it was Burkhead/Lewis that proved useful 2018: Burkhead, drafted 5th-6th rd, however It was Sony/White that proved useful 2019: ????

konstao 234 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Dont know what to do with him today he was never on the field and could have scored 2 touchdowns ill have to start him because bell’s bye otherwise hes a bench for now i guess Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I really have no idea, but without James White, Sexy Rexy got the nod ahead... I wasn't expecting that much of him... Pre-game, the Pats beat reporters were all expecting Sony to be used more as a pass catcher.... But... Maybe it's a one-week thing, maybe it's not... but, the trend is concerning for sure... I don't own this backfield, but I am always watching to see who comes up to the top... Although i did mention in the Burkhead thread: That NE's lack of Fullback, and TEs for the 12 personnel would suggest that Sexy Rexy/ james White as a more viable option than Sony Edited September 23, 2019 by Szer0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dudewithabadcat 1,078 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Next week is the Patriots first real test against a real defense. This is quite concerning that the Patriots haven't been able to get Michel locked and loaded by this time. I think next week is going to be a struggle for Michel.

Sonny_D 1,962 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) This may sound crazy but I think we need some formidable opponents for him to take off. These cake walks, where they can just shuffle guys in and out, big leads, etc aren’t helping his cause. I think we’ll need to wait til week 9 when they face Baltimore for Sony to go on a tear. Then the bye and a slew of tough matchups. Anyway, that’s my spin. Gotta be positive..... Edited September 23, 2019 by Sonny_D Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven't really had the chance to watch any Pats games except the Steelers game. Are the opposing defenses selling out to stop the run? Not sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

potatoetree 113 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 This really just feels like last year. Recall that Michel only broke through because of Burkhead's neck injury. Belichick does not care about fantasy teams :D. He's playing chess for the entire season with an eye on the playoffs. He effectively uses 3 RB's including a fullback for vulture touchdowns. Come playoff time, opposing teams trying to decipher the Pats over film are left trying to figure out what the Pats are gonna do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rickydragon 270 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 I’m done. There’s better options. I don’t know what happened to this guy. He was one of those transcendent talents in college. He could do it all. He had some ridiculous jets on him but now he’s one of the slowest guys in the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dicka24 417 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 As a Pats fan I know that Michel will eventually get his. Burkhead can't stay healthy and will miss time at some point this season and that's when Michel will get the rock and make his run. The problem is he can't be used until that happens which means he'll be rotting on my bench when that breakout game happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
