I guess he could be but they havent used him like one. Mainly because of Lynch. The coaching staff had high praises for Michael last preseason. Maybe being a rookie is why he didnt see the field. I dont expect much from either of them unless Lynch goes down.

Yea I agree with you Lester. Turbin is more of an every down back than Michael is IMO. Hes shorter and stocky, but is also faster.

Plus, I think Michael is better suited as a #2 IMO. He has always been loaded with talent. Hes a little more shifty than he is a bruiser and has that home run threat. And, hes had some majory injuries in college.

And Gio Bernard was a borderline top 10 RB last year and was a must start guy. He wont be surprising anyone next year.

And LSUMNC, the reason I said Hill is because out of all the top RBs for the draft, hes the top workhorse type RB. I think Tre Mason is a great pro. But I see him being used similar to how Gio Bernard was used last year. Split carries, not a prototypical goal line RB in the NFL. Hill will get the goal line carries, which will give him more points.
