re: I really hope that CMike earns his way out of the dog house soon

He will be fine. CMike isn't a fool and he knows if he wants to play on Sundays he needs to swallow the attitude and remind everyone of why he is such a stud. Sumlin can't afford to give him favorable treatment though, it's all on CMike. Certainly Malena and TW aren't going to give an inch, those RB carries are gold right now to those 3.
