Marshawn Lynch, an 1,115-yard runner as a rookie, will be more of a factor in the passing offense, a plan for 2007 that never materialized. Lynch, who's as good a runner as he is a pass-catcher, caught only 18 passes as a rookie. Under Schonert, Lynch will use his hands and feet.
In all seriousness, we hear this every year before the start of the season and it never happens. I'd like for them to just come out and say, "We have no intentions of getting the running backs involved in the passing game."
