I think part of the problem is the opposing teams see Turbin and think "the only reason he's in the game is to run the ball"
It seems like every time Turbin rushes they stack the box and he gets hit by like literally 3 or 4 guys in the backfield...
Honestly we should probably start using him as a decoy make them stack the box and then throw it to him, a tight end, or Coleman, etc...
Not sure what the previous poster meant Christine Michael didn't make the team? I thought it was an injury issue and we'd see him after the bye...
I agree though at this time we are not ready to move on from Lynch next season. Our defense has had a massive decline, I think the new rule emphasis really screwed Sherman and Maxwell. They playing by the new rules but they aren't nearly as effective as they used to be so far.
So if our defense can't dominate pretty much every game like they did last season... Well then we need Lynch to run for consistent production so we win the time of possession.
It almost seems like against the chargers we were trying to see if we could beat an elite offense without Lynch and without our super expensive Harvin...
I'm not sure if there are any implications that we are trying to move on from Lynch or even scale back our offense (I don't know if Harvins money is guaranteed next season? I'm guessing it is...) but if we can't afford Maxwell and Cliff Avril our defense could become pretty ordinary next season... Something's got to give we can't afford all the guys we need...
If Christine Michael was the stud RB he seems to be potentially... lynch might of been the guy to get cut next season... As of now our team is worthless without Lynch because it seems Bevell cannot call a consistently solid game without him .
I have a feeling we will keep Lynch next season and cut some other offensive player(s). The fact that we targeted Walters like 5 times today would indicate one or more of our receivers will get the boot next season.
It's also very likely in my opinion that we will cut Okung in attempt to preserve our defensive personnel. he's been playing like garbage and is making a ton of money.
This off season will be VERY interesting to see what we do with our roster. Anyone who is over payed in the slightest bit (Okung, Unger, TJack, etc) could be gone.
