Beast Back !!!

[StoneCold]

I'm going out on a limb here and saying that when Beast retires we are going to find out that he was a lot like Terrell Davis . . . A great back, but also a product of the system. Rawls may be like Foster or Holmes . . . Or he may be like Mike Anderson, Olandis Gary, Mike Bell, Rueben Droughns, etc. A plug and play back that fits the system.

Lynch has been successful in multiple systems, going all the way back to college. So I have to disagree, in fact his running style transcends any system...........and IS what sets him apart from just another system back.

IMO what's given him success in Seattle has more to do with he found a coach, city and team that allowed him to be himself, which has created a good environment for him to succeed, far more than this zone blocking system.

Have we really dropped the zone blocking scheme? Is our running attack run differently with Rawls?

Also under Pete we have always been an almost 50/50 pass to run, and even over these last 3 weeks we still are. I think it's a false assumption that we force the ball to any one player. Even the Harvin debacle, had those plays worked, would have become just the way he got his touches, and we'd still be a 50/50 run pass team.

It's not different with Rawls, but he hits the hole quicker so he's been more effective than Lynch who needs that seconds for the hole to open up before picking his cutback lane..............thus why he's been less effective when our line play is poor.

Maybe I'm wrong, but I just don't see a healthy Lynch being OK with having his carries drastically cut or Pete not playing him because our offense is on fire without him.

Can you say 2 back sets? Imagine Rawls and Marshawn both in at the same time.

Wow... seriously. Wow.

Funny, I'm kinda done with Lynch. Let the Rawls era begin.

Get well soon(er) Beast

 

[pmedic920]

I'll be happy if he's healthy for the Wild Card game.
Hopefully with a couple of practices prior to that.

Funny, Beast will once again be Beasting, while Rawls is rehabbing.

 

[HawkFan72]

Dang. Unfortunately there is no RB controversy now that Rawls is done. We need Lynch to come back and be his old self.

Lynch, who had surgery on an abdominal injury two week ago, is week-to-week, according to coach Pete Carroll.
"It's a day-to-day thing that really will be week-to-week," Carroll said. "Not this week for sure. We'll see what happens next week."

Hopefully, we get BEAST MODE back against St. Louis and Arizona.

What a fantastic story for Lynch if he can suit up in the final weeks of the season and get back to full strength in time for our road tour to SB50.

What's his latest timetable?

What's his latest timetable?

Week to week

 

[hawknation2015]

“We’ll see how Marshawn does,’’ Carroll said. “ He was back in rehabbing with us.We’ll see where he is. He’s got a chance to get back. It’s all about getting back in shape and getting right.

“I don’t know what the timetable is at this point. Our trainers can’t tell yet. But that will be the next thing we will look to see how that works out.’’

I can't wait to see Lynch behind this new and improved line.

Unless the line is still rubbish and that was all Rawls this last month, which it may have been...

 

[seahawkfreak]

I would hate to rush him back. When he does, hope he's at least 90%.
