Brilliant.

Dude, even though your a figure in the community your wrong, this will repeat itself next year too. He'll hit that wall around Week 10 and our offense will slowly stall. Hopefully this was nothing more than a wake up call, but for fs sake he hasnt done crap since week 10.

Ryan can't carry us through the Play-offs especially if we don't have a 1st round bye.

I would just prefer a little more consistency per carry rather than have that one big run after a bunch of little ones. Having said that...No way do I want to trade for Marshawn Lynch lol. Sorry don't think he is really the guy. I think we have Turner till he is burned out.

Lynch posted 2 1000+ yard seasons and one 300 Recieving yard season at BUFFALO put him on a team where there are weapons and I bet you he is "the back"

be quiet that was his 1st fumble in 417 touches.... Oline was doing much all game

[Red Falcon]

so is it his job to block for himself as well?????

Dude look at his stats back to week 10, they're below average at best. He can't do it anymore. Imo, Lynch,Snelling, and whatever speed back we get sounds a lot better Than Turner, Snelling, and a speed back.

Also we'd add Mike Williams, now think about that White, Williams, Jenkins, TG, and even Lynch out of the backfield. thats a D Co-ordinator's nightmare.

Norwood has seen the field less than Bob Sanders for gods sake.

Turner's stats will still get him some good rep, a team that needs a big RB that can bruise the Oline is Seattle.

Turner is fine. you try running into 17-18 guys all night and see how you do. we keep running him into stacked boxes when he's already a powerful back on his own. if we spread out the formations Turner will easily break off 15-20 yard run while breaking tackles in the process, like he's good for

This. I have a small TV and no DVR so I can't say the problem but I have a feeling our power run game will improve once Johnson and Hawley are established on the line next year.

Exactly, but how many more hits can the guy take ffs, Snelling can only take so many. It's not like we could rely on a speed back often either, as they can only take about 3 or 4 big hits before they get injured.

Marshawn Lynch is a fucking beast, the guy put up amazing numbers at Buffalo where the rest of the team was absolute shit.

O-Line opened no holes for him, not his fault.

The Oline opened holes for him he just cant hit them quick enough, He's slow burnt out and overused. He cant catch out of the backfield, hes a 1 dimensional back.

Marshawn Lynch would die trying to run in our offense. Turner takes a lot of unnecessary punishment for the sake of ball control. now if we spread out the formations and quit running him straight into stacked boxes, he'll produce. it also doesn't help that if it looks like a run it's most likely a run.
