Packers claim "The Woke One"

Its curious though. Wasn't Montgomery doing well in his dual role? Why would they stop using his versatility?

 

He's got health/injury issues, possibly the sickle-cell trait possibly something else. They tried using him, he did ok but now he may not even play this week (missed practice yesterday and the story I read said it was "illness" not related to sickle-cell.

Didn't Christine Michael have a stellar performance in the playoffs last year versus the Packers? I have a feeling that the Packers will be starting him next week in hopes that his aggressive running style works for their offense.

The Seahawks did not play the Packes in last year's playoffs, and his playoff stats were not stellar: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/M/MichCh00.htm

Found this info about Montgomery. Evan Silva's column at rotoworld:

 

http://www.rotoworld.com/articles/nfl/66736/179/silvas-week-11-matchups?pg=4

 

James Starks returned from his knee injury against Tennessee and took over as Green Bay's lead back after Ty Montgomery missed two first-quarter blitz-pickup assignments that resulted in sacks. On both plays, Montgomery too quickly broke into a route instead of staying in to block. Montgomery went on to manage five touches on a 28% playing-time clip, seeing most of the rest of his action in garbage time alongside Brett Hundley. Starks wound up with ten touches on 71% of the snaps. Until further notice, Starks needs to be approached as the Packers’ lead back and a viable RB2/flex option against Washington’s No. 30 DVOA-rated run defense.

 

As the Packers can't trust Montgomery to be on the field with Rodgers, fantasy owners won't be able to trust Montgomery, either. We also shouldn't trust Packers OC Edgar Bennett's post-game explanation for why Montgomery barely played, blaming it on a "rep count." Montgomery flat out got benched.

 

It would be a surprise if mid-week waiver claim Christine Michael made any Sunday night impact, although his addition could conceivably end the Montgomery-at-running-back experiment for good if Michael eventually earns playing time.

Actually one of the reasons the hawks let him go was because his LACK of aggressive running. They had to "coach him up" after two games in a row of running out of bounds before contact. He is not a bruiser whatsoever and tends to run out of his shoes, plus he missed the correct hole on many of his runs and tried to bounce outside too many times. They did not trust him and lost confidence.

I should have double checked before posting. It was Minnesota where he impressed in the playoffs.
