They are pretty close in yards after contact in their careers, but Lynch has far and away more missed tackles.
Relative offensive line play is an issue not discussed in this article . . . Vikings have a pretty strong run-blocking offensive line. Seahawks could be replacing a great run blocker (Max Unger) and an inconsistent run blocker (James Carpenter) will two poor run blockers in Jeanpierre and Bailey. Either that or you are replacing them with even more inexperienced players: Lewis, Glowinski, Poole, Sokoli, etc.
Run blocking at TE will also be a problem, post-Zach Miller, with Willson, Helfet, and Graham not known to be solid blockers. Derrick Coleman returns at FB, and he too is not known to be a good run blocker.
Another issue that is always present is whether Bevell will give Lynch the ball enough and whether the addition of Graham will sap even more of Lynch's opportunities.
