And lynch has how many more carries over that time span?????

Clearly missing the point.

Point is Blount isn't any scrub and if you can't see the compairsons due to both being power running backs I don't want to tell you. I don't think anyone is saying Blount is better but if you can't see that their running style is very similar I don't know what to tell you. It's not like Blount is Trent Richardson or something

Doubt very much Lynch and Blount are considered in the same tier by anyone.

I'd be more annoyed that they are calling him the beast as well. Get your own nickname ffs. It can't be that hard. It's just dumb and lazy for reporters to recycle shit like that for other players. Read another article somewhere that said Blount went beast mode and about spit my water out. There is only one beast, at least right now. Let the guy retire before you use it again at the very least.

That they are together on an article or image doesn't mean anything. Nothing. At all.

Sure but when he's on he's definitely a handful. (i.e. a beast)

Lynch can copyright the name and I wouldn't mind.

Remember when Blount went full on beast mode when quitting on his team?

Blount runs flat footed and looks to truck people

Marshawn runs on his tippy toes and is very elusive.


If anything Blount is more like Lacy.

The media loves story lines and they will make them up if they have to. That's all this really is.
And that also includes giving the impression that it's an even head to head.

Which it is not.

And the Patriots picked him up again? I'm super fine with it.

I was upset when the Patriots didn't resign him this years Blount had some great games and he seems like a locker room guy too. For the Patriots. I don't know about the Steelers.

But would I rather have Lynch?? He doesn't even have to say anything!

Blount has a nice cutback move. He can be deceptive because people only expect a bruiser. He's very good in bad weather.

Yep... All too well

Didn't get his carries so he leaves his team. He supposedly knew he was signed to be a compliment/backup to Bell. Selfishness runs deep in that one.

As for the convo... LYNCH >>>>>>>>> BLOUNT

I mean Blounts always been a nice short yard guy, and he had a GREAT game Vs Indy. But come on I could rush for a hundo vs Indy.

Now the front page of nfl.com is a picture of blount and lynch with the title "unleash the beasts"

Blount was cut midway through the year. Can we please not talk about him in the same breath as a guy thats been one of the best backs in the league ever since he got to Seattle.

Very similar style of running therefore it s a smart advertisement. Don't get all sensitive because of it.

Too bad he is playing in the stadium with the nicest weather in the country.
