SuperBills12 Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 The strength of this team on offense will be the running game. Having 3 awesome backs is a huge deal in this league. The formations that they could come up with would be insane. Imagine Spiller split at WR, Lynch in the back field with Jackson?!!? Who will it go to? Play action, QB throws 80yd TD to Evans!!! Sorry got carried away, but I still think ML should stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDD Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Agreed. Off the field issues aside, Marshawn is a great back hampered by an awful O-line. I have to believe Gailey is going to find much better ways to use him than Jauron did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Trooth Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Why the love for him? Where's Lynch's love for his employer? You think he gives a schitt about making himself a better FB player or the Bills a better team? Where is he? Certainly not at OTAs. Why keep him if he doesn't want to be here? Let's not forget, from his employer's perspective, he's one incident from a one year suspension. How bout Lynch earn is way on to this team... he sure has earned his way off it.

BillsRUs Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Can someone explain to me why we have 7 backs on our roster? I can just see it now. All 7 in play...who will it go to?! No one. Trents eating grass again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 He's a distraction and is appears dissatisfied with his role on the team. There aren't enough balls to go around with 3 backs particularly to one who spends a good deal of his time dancing in the backfield. Keeping the ball out of Jackson's and Spillers hands isn't a good idea. Please kick Marshawn to the curb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsRUs Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Please. 7 RBs in the backfield is Trent Edwards' dream offense. The 'ol turn around after the snap and check down to one of the 7 backs standing behind you play. Nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't stand another season of Lynch crab-walking to the sidelines or running straight into the back of our O-line and falling over. Not to mention all the off field issues and poor attitude.

I have to believe Gailey is going to find much better ways to use him than Jauron did. Then explain how Jackson managed 1000 yds behind the same awful line? Plus, it seems he has requested a trade so I would not miss him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingfish Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 Wait until a RB tears and ACL in camp/preseason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 There wouldn't be enough carries to go around for all three. IMO, a RB has to get enough carries to get into a rhythm. On paper a stable of Jackson, Spiller and Joique Bell looks good to me. Lynch is a douchebag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QB Bills Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I'm not as sour on Lynch's off-field transgressions as most. But I think what needs to be stated here is the fact that he's just not that good. I don't think he's really needed at this point. Not exceptionally fast/strong/intelligent (football-wise) and not the receiving threat he was made out to be when he was drafted. He's not a burner, not a bruiser, he's just kind of there, and that's it. Fred Jackson ran behind the same line Lynch did with much more success. Perhaps that is more of a sign on how good Jackson is than an indictment on Lynch, but at the end of the day, I don't think the Bills lose a whole lot if they unload him.
