Lynch's yards after tackle

[mort]

Maybe I’m just oversensitive after the handful of fumbles earlier this year but I cringe every time he stretches out when going to the ground and seems to me he’s been doing it more often the last ~3 games or so.

Anybody else notice this or did I make it up in my head?

Go Hawks!

There's such a thing as yards after tackle?

Every time somebody struggles for extra yardage after contact the risk of a fumble goes up. Yes it can be stressful to watch, no I don't want him to stop doing it.

He is the best there is at it. No stopping now.

Good first post! And yea I totally agree, the fumbles at the end of last season and the playoffs are still fresh in my mind.

I understand its part of his running style, but there is a time and place. To put the ball out like that for an extra yard in the first quarter... we'd like to see two hands on that ball right?

Doesn't matter, EVERY time he has fumbled, he has come back angry and tears it up. EVERY time.

I looked it up and apparently Lynch is in a 120+ way tie for the most yards after tackle.



I kid. Welcome to the board!
