Lynch plays old school smash-ur-ass Football, hard for me not to love them both for totally different styles, as both have served this team with real distinction. :th2thumbs:Rocket":1wype3gu said:In their prime - Shaun

I SO disagree. Beyond the obvious differences, like the use of zone blocking concepts, the answer to this comparison is simply 2 hall of famers.kearly":6rzm5b6d said:Scottemojo":6rzm5b6d said:I am very curious to know if this ranking accounts for all the yards Lynch gets after contact. If it doesn't, then it really doesn't make a statement about the line.
You say yards after contact, I say vision. That said, I do think two things on this topic:
#1: Lynch probably helps his FO line stats more than Alexander did because of his superior consistency.
#2: The difference between the 2012 and 2005 lines is FAR smaller than the perception gap makes it out to be.

Great first post, and I agree with it. The soft label in 2005 used to piss me off, but it was true.WolfGrey":llnra3ls said:Not sure if this has been posted yet, if so I apologize. Although both are great runners in their own right, I feel Shaun fed the "soft" tag this team had for so long. Let's just say I am no longer worried about being embarrassed by my team's running back curling up into the fetal position.
Yards are ultimately the highest measure, but to have your running back run about as mean as anyone ever has feels better to me. I just prefer the beatdown mentality over finesse.
