It’s annoying? How does it affect you in any way whatsoever?The flip flopping multiple times is annoying.
What kind of projection do you give Travis Homer, MoP? Decent pass catching RB, like Ameer last night? Plus he'll get 8-10 carries I bet for another 50 yards. If the dude scores then he's a solid Flex. Everyone high on Beast Mode, what about Homer?Ministry of Pain said:This has disaster written all over it however...I would love to see Lynch do one of those crazy runs where he breaks like 4 tackles and the play feels like it will never end.

Lynch 2012 Awesome
Lynch 2020 Not Awesome
I'll put the over under at bout 40 yds total this week vs San Fran who isn't exactly playing their best.
I don't really care who wins the game but I would love to see acou pile of violent 10 yard runs from Beast.I have questionale objectivity as a lifelong Seahawk fan but the story is absolutely awesome. Cheapest single game seats available on the secondary market are about $400 right now. Some of that is Lynch's return.
10 carries and 30 to 40 yards is on the realistic end. I doubt he starts and Seattle is a hot mess with injuries. San Francisco should win this game. But if a banged up team with Lynch making a play or two wins the game? It's going to be fun.
Either way, Seattle doesn't necessarily have a motherload of borderline hall of famers in football, basketball, or baseball. The feeling of getting Beast Mode back for at least one more game has been pretty great.
This is exactly right. The season is pretty much shot with these injuries all happening right at the end of the season.

I like Homer, former UM Tailback, he was decent with a lousy OL down here in Coral Gables...what Miami OL has been drafted and is flourishing in the NFL right now in say the last 5 years. Miami used to send Tackles into the NFL like an assembly line but not now, maybe never again.What kind of projection do you give Travis Homer, MoP? Decent pass catching RB, like Ameer last night?

Outside of a couple of goal line carries he has been very ineffective running the ballUpdate?
Against two of the top DVOA Rush Defenses in the NFL this year, he went 12-34 and a TD and then 6 for 7 for a TD, with 32 total yards.Outside of a couple of goal line carries he has been very ineffective running the ball
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll said Marshawn Lynch is "ready to handle more of a workload" following Seattle's Wild Card win over the Eagles.
Lynch has clearly lacked explosiveness in rushing for 18/41/2 and 2.27 yards per carry since re-joining Seattle. Even so, Carroll implies he'll get the 33-year-old bruiser involved more over rookie Travis Homer, who has out-snapped the veteran 94 to 41 in the team's last two games. Lynch has two-touchdown upside worth chasing in short DFS slates but hasn't shown the downhill quickness to suggest he can eclipse the 100-yard mark. Expect Homer to be involved in the passing game while Lynch sticks as their de facto goal line runner.

Beast moded the hawks to round 2. A couple of teams sitting at home this weekend settled for FGs.Sam Quentin said:Outside of a couple of goal line carries he has been very ineffective running the ball
Marshawn Lynch rushed 12 times for 26 yards and two touchdowns in the Seahawks' Divisional round loss to the Packers.
It was obviously tough sledding on the ground for the 33-year-old, though he did essentially fall into the end zone a couple times for a pair of one-yard scores. Coach Pete Carroll said Lynch would get more work in this one, and he was featured early before the game started to get out of hand for Seattle, and the coaches had to let Russell Wilson work his second-half magic. Lynch came out of retirement in Week 17 and rushed for a combined 30-67-4 line across three games. He doesn't have much left in the tank, but it was fun to see Beast Mode in action again. Lynch is likely done for good this time, as he'll turn 34 in April and spent 14 months on the street before the Seahawks got desperate last month.

What a cool bonus it was to have him back for a couple more touchdowns.Take care of y'all chickens
Probably seen the last of Marshawn in the League.
One of my favorite players, favorite personalities in the NFL. See you when you get put up in the Seahawks ring of honor.
Over and over and over and over...

Nice article. My personal opinion is that even the media is no longer what it was. They know how ####ty they can be at times, and they instead march to beat of people who march to the beat of their own drummer. Lynch's late start to his career is what will cost him, though. But he was a bright meteor/comet in the league like few others, and deserves a place in its all-time lore, at the very least, if not enshrinement into its ultimate honor.Seahawks RB Marshawn Lynch Further Enhances Hall of Fame Candidacy
IMHO his numbers leave him on the outside looking in and his surliness with the media won’t help his cause.
It isn’t the broader media who will determine his fate; rather enshrinees are selected by a 48-person committee largely made up of media members, officially known as the Selection Committee.Nice article.

I didn't know this. Thanks, Faust. I'd imagine the signature crotch-grabbing won't endear him to them, either. Even I blanch at that.It isn’t the broader media who will determine his fate; rather enshrinees are selected by a 48-person committee largely made up of media members, officially known as the Selection Committee.
The Selection Committee is supposed to only factor in a players on-field accomplishments; however, Peter King and others have published articles stating that off-field considerations creep into the debate and that includes how they treated the media. They remain fairly old school as a collective group, and that will hurt Marshawn’s chances of getting in.
not really. He was a good back.remember when Gore was one of the most dangerous backs in the game.
The problem with players that rank well in compiling stats categories is that clearly benefits platers with longevity over players with a shorter career that may have been more explosive or dynamic. Since you brought up Gore, yes, he ranks third in career rushing yards. But based on the Hall of Fame Monitoring Tool, he ranks 21st among RBs with a score of 78.69. The average score for a HOF RB is 109. This is not to say that Gore won't be elected (he will), but there are more things that go into player evaluation than just PLAYER X produced a high career total in yards.I am not a huge Gore fan and haven't owned him a league for at least a decade, but the guy had 9 Thousand Yard rushing seasons (Marshawn 6). In 2006, Gore led the league in Yards per Carry and also Yards per Game. I think that, by definition, is 'one of the most dangerous backs.' Why, if trying to promote Lynch, would you choose to pick on Gore who was better in almost every way except running his mouth and the very occasional great highlight run? There are a lot of HOF RBs that have less business in there than Gore, who has been the third most productive runner (by yards) in the history of the game? Do you think the guy with the third most HRs or pitcher with the third most strikeouts isn't going to be in the baseball Hall of Fame?
Agreed. Lynch's peak was better than Gore's, and he obviously has some of the most memorable runs of the last decade, not to mention he was a key player on a team that won a Super Bowl (and was a yard away from winning another).ConnSKINS26 said:This won't be popular but I'd prefer to put in Lynch over a well-liked compiler like Gore.
Was Lynch's peak really that much better than Gore's? I generally look at YFS for RB's instead of just rushing yards, as every yard counts the same.Agreed. Lynch's peak was better than Gore's, and he obviously has some of the most memorable runs of the last decade, not to mention he was a key player on a team that won a Super Bowl (and was a yard away from winning another).
Gore has had incredible longevity and been a pro's pro. I remember sometime in the early 2010's when he had the hip injury that some thought might end his career, and he bounced right back as the same exact guy. He's also a great dude.Catbird said:Gore has averaged 4.3 yards per carry for 15 years of 100+ carry years. Lynch 4.2 ypc for his 10 years of over 100 carries. Gore also caught nearly twice as many passes for nearly twice as many yards. Gore simply has been more productive for far more years. I'm going to guess (hope) that you are just too young to remember when Gore was one of the most dangerous backs in the game.
Free agent RB Marshawn Lynch said his agent, Doug Hendrickson, has been "in talks" with the Seahawks.
"My agent has been in talks with Seattle, so like I said, we'll see what happens," Lynch told Scott Van Pelt on Monday night's SportsCenter. "If it works out and I get back up there, it is what it is. And if not...I'm lookin' good. So I ain't really trippin' too much." Lynch unretired for the second time last year and recorded 30/67/4 (1.97 YPC) following a 14-month absence over Seattle's last three games. While drastically inefficient in that stint, the 34-year-old could step in for either Chris Carson (hip) or Rashaad Penny (ACL) in a pinch since he's familiar with the team's playbook. Fourth-round rookie DeeJay Dallas and second-year RB Travis Homer are the other logical choices out of camp.
