I just think Michel is a very solid, dependable RB...He always moves the pile forward and breaks tackles. Solid at catching the ball out of the backfield as well.
Remember CJ Anderson? Nothing fancy...But, he just kept moving the sticks! No long 75 yd TD runs, but I'll take 6-7 yds and a cloud of dust. That's what Michel does for this Ram team. Steady downhill running with the power to fall forward and keep getting first downs. PERFECT for Rams Offense!
IMHO...If I was McVay....Sony Michel is RB#1 and Hendo is RB#2, until Sony proves to me he can't get the job done...Well, vs. the Jags, he got the job done!
What seems forgotten is that Michel was a #1 pick and logged two 900 yard seasons in his first two years. He's not really a game changer, but being a #1 back isn't foreign to him.
Henderson seems to have a reputation of speed and moves, but his longest runs by year are 22, 40 and 29 yards.
