Beastmode is back. Is this good or bad?

[DJ]

A no-brainer imo.....a healthy Lynch makes this team very dangerous.

 

[DJ]

Potato salad rocks...

 

[Oldschool739]

I cant imaginé his touches being limited if hes in as good of shape as is being reported.

Me either and playing conservative, don't even mix with Beast Mode, he only has one gear, Get the heck outta my way....

 

[redseat]

Yeah. I suspect we will see him in specific situations and that he will likely split carries with Michael on 1st down and 2nd and short situations.

yeah after all he still is a huge body to try and tackle, regardless if he is 100% healthy or not

 

[Dude]

From what we've seen of the Seahawks toward the end of the season, doesn't seem to matter tactically-wise if Beastmode plays. Strategically-wise, sure it helps, unless he eats too many skittles.

 

[Jakology]

Are people seriously questioning this? The 2nd best back in the league that has carried that offense in the past. Yeah the offense doesn't need that kind of carrying anymore, but you still feed him 20 times. A healthy Lynch is a weapon that must be used. No different than Peterson.

 

[ducky]

It'll be interesting.

Sport's hernias can often be not much....and other times be real bears. Might be hard for him to keep the area loose and warm during the game considering the conditions.

No matter how you look at it, he's definitely a weapon any team would like to have in arsenal.

If he looks like he did earlier in the season this year would be better to role with what they have than add him in. Guy has only played one good game this year and other than that he was nothing more than a name.

But after surgery he more than likely is more like 2014 Lynch than 2015 Lynch. And if that is the case, with Lynch running hard, Wilson throwing the ball like he has been, and the defense still being great....this Seattle team is considered one of the hottest and best teams going into the playoffs for a reason.

 

[LambeauLegs]

Which Beast mode are you getting back? The one that was in the Super Bowl a few years back or the one that started this season? Is he now healed better than he was at the start of this season? If not he may not help much.

2015

Week 1...... 18 carries for 73 yards or 4.1 per carry
Week 2........ 15 carries for 41 yards or 2.7 per carry
week 3 ....... 5 carries for 14 yards or 2.8 per carry
week 6 ........ 17 carries for 54 yards or 3.2 per carry
week 7 ........ 27 carries for 122 yards or 4.5 per carry
week 8 ....... 21 carries for 71 yards or 3.4 per carry
week 10 ......... 8 carries for 42 yards or 5.3 per carry

Season average = 111 for 417 yards or 3.8 per carry

 

[Bolts]

Even if he's still not as good as he once was, he is capable of breaking off big runs which should make the defense have to respect the run game more and give Wilson a better chance to succeed through the air like he has the past month or so. And if they have a lead late, they could use him to run out the clock. This is an easy choice, good.

Those numbers are why he decided to have the surgery. He was playing hurt. He'd run some plays and then have to go put hot water bottles on his abdomen. I think he was trying to "gut" it out and finish the season but it became obvious he wasn't playing well due to the injury. Hopefully the surgery is what he needed to return to some semblance of the Beast.

 

[TBBishop]

Lynch had like one good game before he got hurt. I wouldn't count on him lighting it up after all this time off. Even more so, I think the time he's been out is probably the best Seattle's offense has looked since Alexander and Hasselbeck.

So you are saying he has played hurt since week #1 or was injured in training camp and that he was not healthy as the season started? I thought he started out healthy and got injured during the season and decided after a few weeks of it not feeling good to get the surgery.

 

[FirebreathingMonkey]

something that hasn't been brought up yet, is how well lynch mentally handle's the injury. What I mean by that is I heard this was his first injury to require surgery and I heard reports he was worried about how it would hold up. Add in the fact that he's not being hit in practice and his first game back will be in the - temp, if could affect how hard he runs, or is thinking instead of just running though the hole.

 

[LongtimeRamsFan42]

How could this POSSIBLY be bad for them???

 

[dkmightyhammer]

I was watching the HOF show last night on NFL network. They narrowed the list down to 15 finalists for this year and Terrell Davis made the list. I doubt Davis gets in this year (maybe never), but it got me thinking about Beast and the HOF. Does Lynch have a legitimate shot to make the HOF? His numbers are as good or better than Davis's but he doesn't have the 2000 yard season, NFL MVP or SB MVP awards. Lynch has more yards and TD's though. I'm sure at some point Lynch will make the list of nominees, I just wonder if he'll ever be considered good enough to get in. Right now the only current RB that is a shoe in is AP. He can't be the only RB of this generation that is HOF worthy can he?

 

[ATL96Steeler]

I agree. I just hope Bevell doesn't dust off his game plan's from early in the season just because Beast is back. I think we should use ML to establish the run, but if it isn't working early we shouldn't force it.

I think it's a good thing he's back...the OFC has shifted into another gear without him. But in terms of this game...he probably doesn't go over 15 carries.

I think he does, especially if he has at least 1 more really good season after a good playoff push this year. Can you tell the story of pro football without talking about Marshawn Lynch? I don't think so. He has maybe the best run in the history of the NFL, a household nickname, and all time great caliber numbers (or VERY close to it). Maybe a touch more work to do for his case, but I think he has a good chance.

 

[Uhsplit]

As good as the team is playing, Marshawn will have to adapt to the team instead of the team adapting to Marshawn.
