Gailey: "Lynch will play a lot" (1 Viewer)

[GDogg]

Spiller in the fourth is my only real major mistake right now (twice, passing on Foster) but I really don't feel like it's a mistake. If it weren't for this mouth-breathing neanderthal who won't let the kid play because SHOCKER he looked a little overzealous his first game behind that crumbling wall of mediocrity they call a line, Spiller would be doing fine. I really have no doubt that Spiller could be dropping some pretty decent lines, something like 65 and 45 with a td, if this dolt would just play his #1 PICK! Eventually this tard will be overruled and Spiller will see 20 touches a game and then at least the fans will something exciting to watch in their stadium for the first time in a loooooong time, but as long as Chan "Caveman Can Do It" Gailey is calling the shots he's screwed.

Marshawn Lynch was their #1 pick in 2007. Spiller was just a stupid pick by the organization. Spiller shouldn't play merely because he was their #1 draft pick as Lynch has the same argument and is a more complete back.

What exactly do you mean by "more complete"? Lynch does nothing better than Spiller...nothing.

That's ridiculous.He's a better inside runner, he's a very good receiver and he has good speed. On top of that, he's tough and can block. He's a complete back.Spiller's the more electric, perimeter player. He lacks the bulk to be a bell-cow, in between the tackles and goal-line/short-yardage back.Spiller's got a role in the NFL, but he's not going to be an every down back like Marshawn.

weve seen so many small people do this

why do people still doubt it can happen

LOL.... how do you even know what Spiller does well yet? Collecting splinters maybe.... I suggest that the Bills do a splinter count.

I got 10 points out of CJ in a 1 point per 20 return yard league last week, I could see the same amount of kick off returns this week against a pissed off NE squad. Luckily, I don't have to roll him as my flex this week and find out.

 

[Badnewz]

Patriots coach Bill Belichick called Lynch "pound for pound one of the strongest players in the league with good balance."

"Lynch really can play on all downs and all situations," Belichick said at his Wednesday news conference. "I don't really see anything he can't do and do well -- run inside, run outside, runs around and through tacklers, catches the ball well.

"Lynch is a powerful guy. You see him breaking tackles by defensive linemen, running through them, not just [defensive backs]. He runs through a lot of tackles on everybody. Pound for pound he's got to be one of the strongest players in the league with good balance."

Lynch can hit, and he can run, and he can hit-and-run too!

 

[gregjcross]

At first I thought last week was a "showcase" effort even though I couldn't see using a guy so much that it risked injury. Then I remembered thi sis the Bills we are talking about. I looked up the contract on Lynch and he is locked in at a rediculously low rate. Having followed the team the past few years from a fantasy interest (Lynch and FJAX owner), I am now buying the idea that Gailey is slowly but surely coming around to recognizing that Lynch is his best back to try to establish the power running game if he gets enough reps. Whatever pipe dream they saw in Spiller is beyond me. Nothing against CJ, but he's not an ideal fit on a bad team with no QB and no o-line. Few people are... but the point is when you are just learning to crawl, a big pile shifter is better suited...all that cute and dynamic stuff doesn't work until you resemble a real team; the Bills do not.Does any of this make me want to own any Bills RB? No. Because they are worse now than they have ever been and the "offensive design" of Gailey would be better served if it were packaged in an IV drip and used as anesthetic. Its laughable when he says "which game package we are running this week". That sounds like you actually have options and different and various skillsets. You don't. This team is talent-poor and would be lucky to do ONE thing right; let alone several. I hate to say all that because I like Lynch. I think he can be a really solid borderline #1 RB in fantasy, but he's got no help and the team has no sense of identity and direction.

IF you ask me, seems this happens every year. Everybody writes off a veteran for the shiny new rookie, then it turns out all that glitters isnt gold. Spiller, he's a great flash back that can take it the distance like McCluster in KC, doesnt mean he's a full time between the tackles guy. And now, worst yet, he is discouraged. I almost believed in Spiller in August, but avoided him because of what i thought in May. Glad I avoided. Have to hate rookies sometimes.

True but let's face it his real comparison according to both draft pedigree and preseason is Best. Lions are using Best and he is delivering. Bills aren't using Spiller and he isn't. Both backs had a really hard time hitting the hole in game 1. The only difference is that the Lions stuck with their electric player and the Bills folded and skulked away with their tail between their legs.I believe that had Spiller seen 20 touches against the NE defense we would be talking about Spiller a lot in a very different way.

I have a sneaky suspicion that this might actually happen.

Well, I've seen that he is being cut in a lot of leagues and traded for Harvin in another, so it may happen, but I doubt it this week.

I think that's just the HC talking up their upcoming opponent's lone weapon.

Well Fred Jackson burned the Pats last year so it could be he is talking up Lynch hoping he doesn't have to see Jackson much.As a Lynch owner last year the confusing part to me is why everyone is assuming if Spiller plays less that Lynch will continually benefit. Jackson proved last year that he was a better overall back than Lynch. If Spiller does truly have a really small role it is most likely going to be a complete committee between Jackson and Lynch anyways. Lynch had one good half people. One good half against a team he was rumored to be potentially traded to. Don't you think he was extra motivated by the possibility of getting out of Buffalo?

What is that suppose to mean? I know he had decent stats two years ago but that is in the past. Last year he got outplayed by Jackson and ended up on the bench. This year he has had one good half and some people are saying he is automatically the workhorse again in 3 headed backfield. I don't see it.Notice his career average YPC is 4.0? Not exactly awe inspiring.

The Pack last week were preparing to see Spiller as the lead back so seeing Lynch instead I am sure caught them off guard because he is a different type of back. In the first half Lynch had 10 carries for 52 yards. The Pack made halftime adjustments and in the second half Lynch had 7 carries for 12 yards. Spiller actually had the same amount of yards from scrimmage in the second half.

Slip of the tongue by Marshawn, perhaps, or just wishful thinking?

Updated: September 24, 2010, 9:52 AM

It was like old times for Marshawn Lynch, who was the featured running back for the Buffalo Bills against the Green Bay Packers last Sunday. His 17 carries matched his highest total in 11 games dating to October 25 at Carolina.

Will Lynch see the ball that much again? Stay tuned.

Bills coach Chan Gailey says the starting running back against New England on Sunday depends on the package the offense opens with.

Gailey told the Boston media on his conference call this week that Lynch "will play a lot." But Lynch doesn't mind sharing touches with Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller.

"We all feel that we can start," Lynch said. "The only difference is it just depends on which one of us is going to get the game started for one another."

However, Lynch believes a running back gets better the more he gets the ball. He said as much during a podcast hosted earlier this week by AJ Jackson of FAM1LY F1RST Athlete Services.

"For any back that's a premier back, when you get the bulk of the carries I think you get to feel the defense out," Lynch told Jackson. "On one run that you get, you see something you could've taken. It's a lot of things that play into it.

"With that feeling, you get in the groove. ... It's just a level of comfort that you get. You get in a groove with your linemen, feel where they're coming from, just get to put it together."

Because of the trade talk last week, Lynch fielded calls from several Packers fans on the podcast. One caller asked him how he'd feel about reuniting with Green Bay quarterback and University of California teammate Aaron Rodgers.

"I felt it was an honor to play with Aaron in college," Lynch said. "If that was something that would happen, I would feel it would be a blessing. Any time you put in work with someone and then get to hit the big stage with them would be unbelievable. That will be cool."

Lynch did point out he's focused on playing with his current team.

Definitely not a slip of the tongue. He would love to be traded to the Pack. Can you blame him?

I drafted spiller in my redraft and im regretting it badly... why don't they bills use this guy they drafted him 9th overall???

Because this team is run by morons. HTH.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Blows my mind that an organization would use regular season games, and adjust regular season depth charts just to showcase a player to increase his trade value.

Never mind the fact that there's a ton of game film on Lynch already out there. No need to "showcase" him.

Aren't they focused on winning?

Good one.

I wouldnt touch any of these backs unless I was absolutely desperate

Hi. I'm Absolutely Desperate. Pleased to meet you. My running backs are Cedric Benson, Brandon Jackson, C.J. Spiller, and Earnest Graham. I'm strongly considering a flier on Lynch.

Hi Desperate, I'm sympathetic, nice to meet you..

Spiller actually had the same amount of yards from scrimmage in the second half.

Last year was a funky year for Marshawn. He was suspended for the first four games of the season and never really got back on track.He hasn't had that problem this year (although he was dealing with an injury in preseason). Jackson's a solid back, too, but with his injury, he didn't get into a big lead for touches and into a groove over Marshawn like he did last season.

Overall, Marshawn's the more physically talented player. His problem is between his ears. I have no idea if that's been resolved, but Gailey seems like he's willing to give him a shot to be the horse.

Again in the second half against Green Bay, Lynch had 7 carries for 12 yards. Overall, Jackson had the only TD in the game and had a better YPC average. All I am saying is even if Spiller barely plays I don't think Lynch can seperate himself from Jackson. Let's see Lynch do better than have one good half before he is annoited the guy to have in the Bills backfield.I personally think Lynch is overrated. Some people like him because of his agressive running style but he isn't that quick and he is not that elusive, thus his career YPC average of only 4.0. That is very pedestrian. He only put up good numbers when he was a true feature back because he got a lot of carries but I doubt that will happen for him this year, at least not in Buffalo.

 

[gary mexico]

I think lynch is going to get the carries since the bills want to trade him. This is becoming pretty obvious...

 

[flranger]

As a recent Lynch owner who was hoping for a trade, I'm finally sobering up to the point where I believe they are trying to see if he can work in Buffalo with his incredibly low salary and trade Jackson. Lynch and Spiller on paper appears to have pretty decent talent.

If I had space I'd be trading for Fred Jackson. Completly uninformed gut instinct that is who they trade.

 

[habsfan]

I'm not sure that increased playing time automatically makes him more attractive to other teams. It could go the other way.

I got 10 points out of CJ in a 1 point per 20 return yard league last week, I could see the same amount of kick off returns this week against a pissed off NE squad. Luckily, I don't have to roll him as my flex this week and find out.

At what point did you think, "I should post this. Someone will be happy they read this."?

I think buffalo views their future backfield as lynch/spiller. As you state lynch has a dirt cheap salary, he's a bargain for buffalo.Fjax is the one most likely to be traded.

I don't think it's obvious at all. The Bills are idiots. Anything is possible.

 

[BAY_AREA_GIANT]

Seems strange that a coach specifically says which one RB of three that will get a good bulk of the work. Is he hoping New England hires him next year?

My guess is that there will be heavy does of Spiller and Jackson tomorrow, not Lynch.

 

[sandlotshrink]

What seems strange is that in the last week, we do not have any info from the so-called gurus about trade talks or teams that have at least approach the Bills about one of their backs. The only thing I keep hearing is that Buffalo wants a high round draft pick, i.e., 2 or 3 for Lynch. Any updates?

 

[Insein]

Sooo... Lynch to the packers?

 

[FGITLOTR]

I just don't see that happening, even though it makes sense--I think they continue to give him between 10-15 touches a game and rotate him with Jax/Spiller

 

[kface]

Sooo... Lynch to the packers?

Me and the family were discussing last night that the chicago game will be the game that the packers move to get someone because they are going to be a top team and they will realize that they need to be able to run the ball to win it all...or at least have the threat of running the ball.

Really? The lack of the running game wasn't what kept them from winning last night. Kuhn/Jackson did enough for the PA fakes to work just fine. They could use another D-lineman before they bring in a new running back.

You honestly believe that? Chicago pinned their ears back and rushed the passer all night long while dropping 7 back in coverage. They were begging the Pack to run it and Kuhn/Jackson couldn't. Grant would have shredded a defense that lined up like that.

I believe they could use a running back but the packers playing their nickel package so much isn't because they necessarily want to. They have had too many injuries on the d-line and right now are basically playing with 3 guys. They are missing Johnny Jolly badly and missing Justin Harrell (ick) for depth purposes.

Report: Lynch back on the trade market?

ESPN Milwaukee's Jason Wilde reports that an NFL source said Monday night that the Bills "have put out word that they will at least start listening to offers for Marshawn Lynch."

It's doubtful he was ever really off the table. The Bills have been trying to drum up interest in Lynch by giving him the bulk of the workload the last two weeks, and overall he's looked pretty good. The Packers are desperate for an upgrade at running back with Brandon Jackson struggling to fill in for the injured Ryan Grant. Sep. 28 - 10:33 am et

[Ray_T]

All designed to showcase and pump up his value now that there are several teams in a position of need..

I totally agree.This is totally about showcasing Lynch so they can get something close to market value for him.Up until this point he has been worth less than market value because of his off field issues.If the Bills are smart, they unload him for an O-Lineman and/or a draft pick that can be used for an O-Lineman.

 

[Shutout]

I agree that I think he is now seriously (for the first time) being dangled out there.

The Packers are going to need someone. The lack of a real running game last night showed their weakness and I have to imagine that as the weather turns colder, it will be needed moreso.

If not the Packers, then perhaps someone else. I really think the Redskins would be a nice fit but can't see it happening unless Portis is lost for the year. They just love his blocking too much (and rightfully so).
