GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Since arriving in Green Bay, Christine Michael hasnt had much to do except for read up on the playbook.The recently acquired running back looks as if hell finally get a chance to get a few carries on Monday night when the Packers visit the Philadelphia Eagles .For the first time in weeks, Green Bay might have two experienced running backs on the roster in Michael and James Starks.Establishing the run might help the Packers get off to the more productive starts that have eluded them the past two games.Theyre teaching me the game plan ... and getting me ready to go, said Michael, who was claimed off waivers from the Seattle Seahawks last week.Getting me in the game plan this week, a couple runs here, play action. Keeping it simple, but definitely trying to get my feet wet out there.Losers of four straight, the Packers (4-6) have at least been able to get the passing game going the past few weeks.Quarterback Aaron Rodgers has thrown 15 touchdown passes to three interceptions over the past five games.But Green Bay has had to play catch-up in many of those games. A porous and injury-plagued secondary has been a problem especially in back-to-back blowout losses to Tennessee and Washington.The offense in those games has had slow starts, too. In six first-quarter possessions combined over the past two losses, the Packers have five three-and-outs and no points.Make more plays. This whole situation, theres not a special recipe, receiver Jordy Nelson said. Youve just got to make the plays and execute.A little balance could help, too.Starks returned two weeks ago from a knee injury that sidelined him for four games.Receiver Ty Montgomery has taken more snaps in the backfield, where he has had his moments as a runner and pass catcher.But the Packers still dont have a rushing touchdown from anyone other than Rodgers. Starting running back Eddie Lacy, who is out for the year with an ankle injury, is still the Packers leading rusher with 360 yards on 71 carries despite playing in just five games.Well, it definitely changed a lot of the stuff that we like to do, Rodgers said about the impact of losing Lacy.When you double that with James being out for a few weeks, definitely took us out of some of the stuff we wanted to do to start the season.At 5-foot-10, 220 pounds, Michael is a different kind of back from the physical Lacy. But Michaels 469 yards rushing on 117 carries and six touchdowns with Seattle would lead the Packers.That is why Michael has been spending most of his time catching up on the playbook.If Michael, Starks and Montgomery can start running the ball effectively early in games, that could help Green Bay set a tone while keeping the banged-up defense off the field to stay fresh.On the teams day off Monday, Michael came into Lambeau Field and spent a couple of hours cramming with position coach Ben Sirmans.Just ready to go man, I feel like its simple, Michael said. Its just football, you know what I mean? Just study it, give it my mind, just go out there and play.Game notesCoach Mike McCarthy announced that Lacy and CB Sam Shields would stay on injured reserve for the rest of the season, with the Packers planning to activate CB Makinton Dorleant from injured reserve for the Eagles game. NFL teams can designate one player to come off injured reserve. The Packers have been without their top cornerbacks in Shields (concussion) and Damarious Randall (groin) for much of the season. Quinten Rollins is coming back from a groin injury, and Demetri Goodson suffered a serious knee injury last week against Washington. ... G T.J. Lang (ankle) was a longshot to play on Monday, McCarthy said. Lang missed the Redskins game. ... LB Derrick Matthews was signed to the practice squad. Matthews was in Green Bay for part of training camp, and also spent some time last season on the Redskins practice squad.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL .Zapatillas Nike Shox Nz Mujer .

Their 11-year playoff drought seems almost certain to be extended as well, since Los Angeles is tied for 13th in a 16-team conference after its 26-10 loss to New England.The Rams havent reached .500 in Fishers five years in charge, and they finally might have run out of gas in the final weeks of their draining relocation season. After a 3-1 start in LA, theyre back at the same record they sported through 12 games in their last season in St. Louis.The opposition remains tough when NFC South co-leader Atlanta (7-5) arrives at the Coliseum this weekend, but at least the Rams are finally home to begin the friendly portion of a schedule that has kept them away from LA for eight of their first 12 games.I fully expect us to finish strong, Fisher said Monday night. This team is very, very close. Its very close.And after a miserable week featuring two hapless losses and including a public spat with Eric Dickerson, Fisher was just grateful to be home.Weve got some work to do, Fisher said. Were happy to be back. Three of our next four games are at home and we dont have to leave Pacific Standard Time anymore this year. Our guys are committed. Theyre going to play hard.Fisher realizes the Rams havent had a positive performance on either side of the ball for three weeks. After blowing a late lead at home against Miami, Los Angeles was routed on the road by the Saints and the Patriots, with its defense carved up by two of the NFLs best quarterbacks.With their playoff hopes growing dim, Fisher has kept his focus on the Rams future. The veteran coach finally acknowledged receiving a two-year contract extension Sunday, but Fisher still could be coaching for his job in December, dependiing on the length and ugliness of the Rams losing streak.ddddddddddddWere building this team for the future, Fisher said. Weve made a commitment to our young quarterback, and hes playing now. In my opinion, I think theres a lot of things to be excited about.The players welcomed the news of their coachs extension, and Fisher got a congratulatory text from Dick Vermeil, who led the St. Louis Rams past Fishers Tennessee Titans in the Super Bowl following the 1999 season. But the loss to New England was the 164th of Fishers long head coaching career, and with one more defeat, he would tie Dan Reeves for the NFL record for coaching losses.I actually dont look at that, Fisher said. Ive had a few wins in my career as well. Ive also been able to be very, very fortunate and have a long career. You can look at it as, `Is the glass half-full or half-empty? I look at it as half-full. Im just honored that I still have an opportunity to coach in this league.Game notesThe Rams hope DE Robert Quinn, OG Rodger Saffold, WR Tavon Austin and CB E.J. Gaines can all return from injury against the Falcons. Quinn, Saffold and Austin missed Sundays game in New England, while Gaines was injured during the game. All four of them look good by the end of the week, Fisher said. ... Fisher again lamented the Rams lack of a running game. Todd Gurley failed to rush for 100 yards for the 19th time in his last 20 games, and Los Angeles remains mired at 30th in total rushing offense. Gurleys struggles hamper Goffs development and the defenses toughness, Fisher said. Weve got to find a way to get Todd going, and then find a way to be more productive on third down, Fisher said. Our defense has been on the field way, way too long here in the last few weeks.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
