How's Marshawn Lynch Doing...?

[Pugger]

I have no problem with TT not making the deal for Lynch. We had much more pressing issues in the end. But I do have issues with our run blocking! How can we not get a 3rd and one stinkin' foot yesterday? With how lousy we are at this only an elite back like Peterson could get anything with our crappy blocking up front.

Didn't feel he was worth it at the time and still don't.

Peterson failed at short yardage yesterday too, 1 yard to the endzone and he couldn't get in. It happens to the best of em.

I think he's [M3] average and I think we're not cutting it because of the players.

Perhaps he is average as a head coach, I won't debate that here. But he does have a specialty that has won out in every type of season so far; his passing game. And he has done it with less than Lee, Quarless and Tom "Anthony Munoz" Crabtree at TE.

If he unsticks the WR/TE passing game, as I expect he will, then this team will catch fire. Unless 4 more starters go down to injury.

Still waiting to get unstuck Coach! Though McGinn forgave him for going multi-wide versus the Jets. Thought it kept the Jets from blitzing and made them play more zone than usual.

It would also help if Aaron would pass to one of the short routes in 3rd and less than 8 and if the WRs would have onto more than half the passes. Nice to see Jennings getting his due.

Okay, the Lynch watch:

25 carries, 89 yards. One really long run, a lot of tiny little short runs. A 3.56 average.

Against Oakland.....

9 carries for 7 yards.

Thank you Packgator. And note that his longest run was...seven yards. Thus, his other eight carries went for a total of zero yards.

I like having that third round pick here and not in Seattle...especially since the Vikes no longer have one!

Against Oakland.....

9 carries for 7 yards.

Against the Giants....

11 carries for 48 yards (long 26 yards)

OK, passing game possibly unstuck now. But with both Lees hurting and Tausch on IR, we are one to two more injuries away from catastrophe if my prophecy is to be believed.

Jackson and Kuhn 20 rushes, 70 yards 3.5 ypc

3.5 X 3 downs = 10.5 yards!

We should never pass!

I had a dumbass football coach in high school who said the goal for each play was 3 yards because 4 X 3 is 12 and you only need 10 yards for a first down.

13 carries 29 yds vs AZ

This against a team that's one of the worst run defenses in the league. Anyone else still think this guy would have been worth it?

Re: How's Marshawn Lynch Doing...?

I think we should have given them a 2!

Some reason the LOL went to the thread title and not my post. I am glad we did not trade for Lynch!

It's already being called one of the greatest TD runs in NFL playoff history:

[vince]

That was a great run. I don't know what his 40 time is, but he doesn't seem to have much speed.

Saints D was not good covering or tackling yesterday.

Who cares about 40 time? Homerun hitter the Packers lack.

[esoxx]

Yeah, when your past his prime QB is keeping up with him and throwing blocks 40 yards downfield, it doesn't say much for speed.
Can't imagine Kerry Collins keeping up when Chris Johnson cranks up a long run.
