Lofton80 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 From Packers site 2004: Johnnie Lynn (defensive backs/Ravens) - "Forges strong relationships with his players. Has coordinator experience with the Giants and spent this season in Baltimore. Was highly regarded until the Giants fell apart under Jim Fassel in 2003." NFL.com 2004 The head coach only wants great teachers on the field, and when I watched Mike Singletary with the inside linebackers, Jim Colletto with the offensive line and Johnnie Lynn with the secondary, I knew Billick was happy with the level of instruction From NFL.com 2002 Johnnie Lynn, New York Giants defensive coordinator Lynn is one of the league's young coaches who's stock is rising fast. He replaced John Fox, who's now the head coach in Carolina. Lynn is an excellent communicator and brings great enthusiasm to practice, which rubs off on the Giants' players come game time. Facing the high-powered Rams on the road, Lynn's gameplan reduced Kurt Warner to one passing touchdown and two interceptions while holding Marshall Faulk under 100 yards rushing.

They give him -- GIVE HIM -- to the Rams for 2nd- and 5th-round picks; once in St. Louis, all he does is average well over 5 yards/carry his first three seasons and help lead the team to two Super Bowls (winning one). Hence -- in my opinion, the Colts didn't use him as well as they could have. Don't know how much simpler I can make it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kasper13 Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Never heard of Johnnie Lynn until right now. I have heard of Johnny Lam Jones. Used to be a WR for the Jets. Not the same guy, I guess. Johnnie Lynn sounds like the name of one of those guys that never won on Saturday Afternoon Maple Leaf Wrestling from back in the 1970's. "In this corner, undefeated over the last 7 years, standing 7 feet 5 inches and weighing 600lbs., Andre The Giant and his opponent, from San Antonio, Texas, with a career record of 0 and 70......Johnnie Lynn!" Whatever. Can we find a lesser known (i.e. CHEAP) DC please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 It could be that interviewing Lynn was a way to get Bates to spit or get off the pot. Hopefully it makes him want to accept the job. Despite rumors, I haven't heard officially that Bates has declined the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, in your opinion, did St. Louis do differently to get him that higher average per carry? A better OL? More draw plays? Better choices of running plays? Fewer running plays; thereby encouraging the defense to focus on the pass first? I know any of these things could have led to that higher average, but I haven't watched many Rams games.

I know any of these things could have led to that higher average, but I haven't watched many Rams games. 589009[/snapback] Oversimplified answer: Lindy Infante's mindset vs. Dick Vermeil/MadMikeMartz's. Both are hailed as offensive innovators, but I always thought DV/MMM did more to create mismatches Faulk could exploit -- lining him up wide, trying to get him out to the edge more often, etc. IMO, Infante (Colts OC, then HC) pigeonholed Faulk into more of a traditional RB role... he may have caught 50-some passes in most of his seasons under Infante, but I'd be willing to bet most of them were screens/dumpoffs. Marshall's been one of my favorite players ever since ESPN started picking up his San Diego State games; he reminded me of Thurman, maybe even a little (gasp) better overall. (Faster, certainly.) The game-breaking talent was always there, but I'm not sure he'd be a first-ballot Hall of Famer -- and there's no doubt about that, is there? -- had he spent much more time in Infante's offense. Just my opinion... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
