AlbanyBill Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 posts like this make me mad. we are 5-1 people! who cares if Lynch is only getting 70-80 yds/game? We are winning!!!
MDyl7993 Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 The OL has been the target of what is wrong with the running game. However, have ya noticed that when Jackson runs he seems to almost always pick up good yards. He hits the holes "fast" and hard. Marshawn runs hard all the times but I'm not so sure he gets to the line as quick as Jackson. I'm not saying that Jackson should be starting, what I'm saying is Marshawn could help out the OL a little by being more decisive and quick to the holes. Flame away. just add the total rushing yards. no one has two good running backs
tombstone56 Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 LYNCH REMINDS ME ALOT OF A RB I USED TO WATCH YEARS AGO,,,, HARD WORKER WITH A HUGE HEART ,, IF I RECALL THEY USED TO CALL HIM " SWEETNESS" ,....,,WALTER PAYTON!!!!!................. ALL IN TIME MY FRIENDS..

You can't, or shouldn't expect to win in Dec and January without a ground game. You can't expect a QB to win you every game on O.

I'm not saying we don't need a run game or that we don't need to get better up front. But those yards will come. Marshawn is a beast and Freddie's playing great. Tho O-line will start run blocking better and that's the end of the story. I'm just saying that we're winning so stop the whining

You, me, Homer Simpson and every commentator and analyst who has watched the Bills have all seen irrefutable evidence that the OL gets the turkey for no push and very few holes to run through. Perhaps Lynch could be doing a better job, but wihout any openings to run through, I don't see how.
LabattBlue Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 just add the total rushing yards. no one has two good running backs The Bills are 23rd in rushing yards per game. Bottom line is that this number is going to have to improve a lot down the stretch run.
GripnRip Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 Jackson needs more carries as he averages more per carry, both last year and this year. Jackson doesn't side-step and goes forward, Lynch is a home-run big play or little to no yards. Lynch has great effort, but has less vision than Jackson..... You picked a fitting name for yourself.
Fan in San Diego Posted October 22, 2008 Posted October 22, 2008 I don't know, I thought lining up 2 TE's, 1 FB and 1 RB and then throwing a fade to Evans was pretty unpredictable. But hey, maybe I'm smoking crack.... Not sure about the exact alignment for that play, but that is only one play. Start counting how many run run pass sequences you see during the game.

Start counting how many run run pass sequences you see during the game. Creating a rhythm like that allows for 40 yard PA bombs on 1st and 2nd down once or twice a game.

Wayne Fontes Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 Go to youtube and search on OJ. There are several clips (including the game where OJ gets his 2000 yard season) that show how devastating the Bills run blocking was with Joe D, Reggie, and Brax. Technical blocking, power blocking, and the art of pulling all on display. Gorgeous. What has happened to this league?
JimmyPage Posted October 23, 2008 Posted October 23, 2008 I don't see Lynch as being any better than Travis Henry. In fact I am convinced Travis Henry was a better back. Jackson seems to have a good YPC. Maybe he should get more carries.

Jackson seems to have a good YPC. Maybe he should get more carries. Travis was probably a better runner out of the backfield, but Lynch is definitely better at blocking and catching out of the backfield. I also agree Jackson should get more carries and see what happens.
