There's a huge misconception about Lynch's goal line abilities because he breaks a lot of tackles and is tough to bring down. That doesn't necessarily translate to being a great goal line back. You're facing a jumbo package with one yard to go - Lynch's ability to make defenders miss tackles really doesn't come into play in that scenario. If the run play is into the line (as opposed to a sweep or pitch), that's 95% on the offensive line. If the OL doesn't win at the line, Lynch is facing multiple 300 lb DL, not a LB or safety in space. Hence the 4/5.
I would have liked to see some kind of rollout or play action, if I'm quibbling, but most of the national narrative around that play was strictly hindsight.
