RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks running backs coach Sherman Smith insists that this time, there really is a change in Christine Michael.
During Michael's first stint with the Seahawks, the same questions were asked every summer: Is he willing to put in the work to be great? Will this be the year he finally gets it?
Last September, the Seahawks decided they were ready to pull the plug on the Michael experiment. He had spent two years with the team but was never able to earn the trust of the coaching staff.
