Michel likely will not get enough touches on the NE stacked offense. Especially if he can't hold onto the ball.But Michel and Guice are WAAAAAAY better than Penny according to the draft dorks and fans and Penny is definitely a 3rd round, POSSIBLY 4th round 'OMFG' pick, so why is Penny higher in the odds!?!?!?!?!??!?!1/1/1111111
Probably not but I'd still expect between 200-300 touches.Michel likely will not get enough touches on the NE stacked offense.
I don't know that's 14 touches a game on average. They still have White and likely Burkhead to share carries. Also he'll be competing for passes against White, Edelman, Gronk, Hogan and either Patterson, Britt or Mitchell.Probably not but I'd still expect between 200-300 touches.
I don't think he'll get the 350+ touches that Gurley and a couple of the other top backs will probably get. Barkley is probably the only rookie RB that I would say is almost without a doubt getting more touches.

I don't know if they are going to pay Bradford 20 million to be the backup. He has a good chance of getting hurt though (I'd bet on it actually), which is why I was very puzzled as to why they gave Sam that money in the first place.

Guice will also be in the same boat in WA where they will use the pass to set up the run.
On paper today, Penny will be the feature back with Angry Doug his only competition for more touches. Two blocking TEs added to the roster, loss of players like Graham and Richardson gone points to Seattle being a run first team again.
After the opening kick return, Barkley was absolute trash against Ohio State. 21 carries for 44 yards, and 36 of that came on 1 carry, meaning he then had 20 carries for 8 yards. 4 catches for 23 yards was all he mustered in the air. The Buckeyes did an amazing job of shutting him down. Honestly, he had 1 good play against OSU all game, and it was the opening kick return. That was it. Otherwise, he had 26 touches for 75 total yards in the KR, rushing, and passing game. He also more or less disappeared in the loss to Michigan State.True but he also had 3 kick return for 203 yards and 2 tds in those 2 games and 7 catches for 80 yards so even in the hands were he was less than normal he still had 385 yards on 53 touches. He's just dynamic in a multitude of ways . Not really limited to carrying it like other backs

It was mostly responding to him coming up big in major games. He played great against Iowa, but was largely a non-factor in their two losses outside of 1 play.Im sure you can do this with all of the great ones in the league, find college games in their career where they didnt destroy opponents

Sure. I didn't say he was great in every game. I said even the games he was "shut down " in he still made huge impact playsAfter the opening kick return, Barkley was absolute trash against Ohio State. 21 carries for 44 yards, and 36 of that came on 1 carry, meaning he then had 20 carries for 8 yards. 4 catches for 23 yards was all he mustered in the air.

In his final college season, he had four 100 yard rushing games and 3 games with a YPC under 3.We can do this all day, Im pretty sure in the last 2 Rose Bowls, he destroyed both USC and Washington, and I think Penn State would consider those pretty big game
Sure. However, as a runner, he was more inconsistent in his last year than several recent elite NFL backs were in their final college years.Sure. I didn't say he was great in every game. I said even the games he was "shut down " in he still made huge impact plays
