The Dean Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...lynchs-absence/ Not really sure of the circumstances, but this isn't the way to impress a new coaching staff. No need to lie about it. Apparently he DID call: Regarding Lynch, Gailey said, "Our general manager, Buddy Nix, has talked to him but I have not talked to him." With that said, I prefer these guys, especially one with the history of Marshawn, be there as early as possible. It doesn't reflect well on him. But it isn't the end of the world, either. At least not yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwksilver Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 How can you not want to make the most of your time in the NFL? Has ML ever been accused of being intelligent or one who makes wise decisions? This fits right in line with his M.O. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John from Riverside Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Yeah I agree with you. In a perfect world all of the above need to happen, in reality its a very long NFL season RB is a easy transition position, and this team is 2-3 years away from being competitive. I just think it has less to do with whether he is in shape (and he was not last season) and more to do with the CHANGING OF A LOSING PHILOSPHY Chan is saying it right there for everyone to hear "I only know of one way to fix it.....hard work" Then he practiced what he preached by taking out the TV's so the players couldn't watch their favorite soap operas (I am a former player myself and I have NEVER heard of TV's in the weight room) that is break @ss time where you put in the work that carries you through a season......) I just think we gotta get rid of all the prima donna veterans....they set bad examples to the younger players If I wanted my son to emulate someone on this team....it would be Eric Wood.....not Marshawn Lynch.

VADC Bills Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Has any player over the last few years been really penalized for not attending the voluntary workout ?? Every year popular players miss the voluntary workouts....is this something that means more to the fans and the media than to the coaches and players ?

T master Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 You have obviously never been apart of a football team. Everyone needs to be on board for a team to reach it's potential. Football teams have to act like a family because it is the ultimate trust and team game. Don't say it means nothing. I'm sure it means something to the guys who are going to block for him on Sundays.

Smerlas 88 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 If you in fact did, you either weren't very good, your teammates didn't respect your dedication to the team, or both. Voluntary doesn't mean voluntary Lynch another thug from the Bay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobonators Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 You raise an interesting scenario. If CA makes pot legal, can the NFL still suspend players there for smoking? PTR I don't see why not. The NFL can have it's own list of banned substances despite them being legal for public consumption. There are several supplements that are legal to take and can be purchased at GNC by anyone but are banned by the NFL. Granted, they're banned b/c they're labeled as performance enhancing...but the NFL could simply come up with whatever reason to ban MJ. Tobacco is legal, but yet some companies/organizations don't allow their employees to smoke outside of work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GR8PRKN Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Volutary Workout....the media always tries to make a hype of the no shows.

Kingfish Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 Best case scenario-When Lynch and Nix spoke they reached an understanding that Lynch would be traded this offseason. Worst case scenario-Lynch has learned absolutely nothing from last season's suspension and demotion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
