Lynch is a Cedric Benson clone

Lynch just needs to come under the proper tutiledge of a good RB coach. Lynch is quick and runs hard. He needs a coach that's going to drill him day in and day out about making 1 cut and hitting the hole. Make him run laps or sprints or do push-ups or something everytime he doesn't do it in practice. Once that sinks in, hopefully someone can get through to him, he will be one of the better RB's in the league. His first two years behind mediocre OL's were pretty solid if you ask me.

You can't even draw this comparison. yes they both had run ins with the law and then it ends there. Benson's is lazy and somewhat of a kitty. He drew critizism from Cinncinati from not playing hurt with his injury. he is now crying that Larry Johnson was signed. They are the exact same issues he had in Chicago.

Watching how the Pats use Maroney on screens, the Bills should use Lynch in a similar fashion. Let him get space out in the open field and break some tackles.

Exactly. A good life coach might do him some good as well.

Benson is at a career high in yards at 859 and 6 TDs. Lynch surpassed both of those #'s in his first two seasons.

 

 

This is another example of a player that IS, not could be, a star in this league that is not good enough to live up to the rigorous standards of some of the fans here. If he ran behind Thurman's, McGahee's, or Henry's lines he would have been a leading rusher.

 

He is out of shape, and went through some PERSONAL issues... I would like to stress that he is 23. I bet some of the holy-rollers on TSW probably got into a little trouble when they were young, or at least made bad decisions. If you didn't, maybe you know somebody at church that has, and if the lord hath forgiveth, why not I? It is the league's job to judge and punish him not ours. We are supposed to be understanding, and hope for the best for "our guy."

 

Personally I hope he pulls through, and he works like a dog to come back in top shape next year, and runs through, around, and over defenses. I, for one, will take time away from polishing my halo to go see him, and probably even pull for the young man to get his life back on track. I'll let Dolphins fans, and Pats* fans judge him by his personal affairs.

???

 

I haven't read anything in the Cincinnati Enquirer, nor heard or say anything on radio/tv that said or implied such.

 

He had a hip flexor injury against BAL in week 9. Went back in for a play, but couldn't go.

 

Looks like he'll play this Sun. vs. DET:

He's played 9 games and missed 2 - that *projects* to a 1527 yd. season over 16 games. For what such projections are worth lol!

 

CIN signed him last season - game #5? - I don't recall.

 

His troubles...idolized UT player - he was a young fellow with big bux in his pocket, driving and boozing - sound familiar? But he was a #4 overall pick for good reason.

 

I was surprised that CIN signed Larry Johnson, given their owner. Johnson showed up in shape with gas still in his tank. My guess is that Brown, sniffing a playoff team for the 2nd time in the 19 years (!) since he took over from his legendary Dad, uncharacteristically took action. Although I think that he saw Benson as a "bargain", which is typical for him.

 

Will wonders never cease... :D

 

As I mentioned somewhere in this thread, Benson has also showed to be a fine blocker. CIN's jumbled OL is good at run blocking - but only fair at pass blocking. Palmer faltered during Benson's absence.

 

Speaking of Palmer - he's run with success several times this season, but definitely has been hanging onto the ball too long - he needs a slap upside the head. And he still throws a high ball after his '05 knee injury.

 

Save the freak game #1 bounce to DEN's Stokely, and lousy def play and a fumble against OAK (odd game - OAK didn't draw a single offensive penalty, and they were holding all over the place IMO), the OH River Candy Stripers could be 10 and 1. But HOU kicked their fannies up into the cheap seats, both sides of the ball.

 

They have to play 4 of their last 5 on the road - MIN, NYJ, SD, DET. Home against KC.

 

I'd pick'em ending up at 10 - 6. Swept their AFC North slate, so they own the tie-breakers - it will be tough for BAL and PGH to surmount that. PGH hosts BAL and GB, BAL has the PGH road rematch and travels to GB.

He kinda did that to set up Lindells 89 yard Fg which lead to us stomping the Fins. Without Lynch gaining those yards which not many backs could have helped win that game.
