There's no value in a trade, he's 30 years old and has never been a feature back. Releasing him frees up a much needed 3 million in cap space, no dead money at all. Loomis never releases his players until its painfully obvious it needs to be done. PT isn't there yet. I'll bet we ride out his final year. |

Lynch ave 18 caries/game. Against Tampa he had 24. Go through the play by play, other than the opening drive he had about 2-3 carries per possession. Any mythical rhythm gained by 3 carries is gone after the defense takes the field.. Watch Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Seattle Seahawks [11/03/2013] - NFL.com The "I need a minimum of x carried per game" is what people that want the ball more say, and lets face it. All RBs and Receivers want the ball more. You know why I hope we never have this "show case" running back? Jamal Charles went out of the game and their game plan was never the same. Davis was able to run but he was no J. Charles and that hurt them in the 4th qtr. I would rather have two 7 (out of 10) running backs than a 10 and a 4 and have the 10 go down. Sean Payton learned that lesson years ago. |

After the first drive, he didn't get a run again until the 2nd quarter, and only had 2 more runs for the entire half. That's only a portion of the equation though, as scheme differences come into play, as TB may have made adjustments. Now I do think multiple backs is important in the NFL. Keeps the players fresh while the D-line gets exhausted, but if you think that a back can just walk onto the field after a long wait and roll off a 10 yard run, just as easily if he's in the game rhythm.... I just can't see it. A big part of being a running back is getting a feel for how the defense moves and what will be available to you. |

My point is that Marshawn Lynch doesn't need this mythical rhythm to be a damn good effective running back.. Enough with the excuses. Khiry Robinson apparently doesn't need Unicorn-rhythm. |

Playing RB isn't just grabbing the ball and running through a hole. Good running backs create holes, they maneuver their way through the defense. It's about knowing what's being offered and figuring out how to exploit it. Having multiple touches is going to affect the internal reasoning that you have as a RB when you approach a defense. |

Yes, playing RB is about taking the hand-off and finding a hole. As far as the rest, you either have vision or you do not and it has nothing to do with rhythm. Rhythm - a regular, repeated pattern of sounds or movements. : a regular, repeated pattern of events, changes, activities, etc. There is no repetitive pattern in a football game for a RB. From where he lines up; to blocking, holes, defensive fronts, all change. Your more than welcome to keep replying, it will not effect the definition of rhythm or that it is a myth that RBs need it. I realize you do not visit a whole lot but there is a thread on this already.. been discussed, been debunked. http://blackandgold.com/saints/58685...hm-ingram.html |

That research is rather meaningless and has nothing to do with what people talk about when they say that Ingram needs to get into a rhythm. The more times in a row a running back runs the football, the more likely it is for the defense to play the run. There is a reason that we run the full back or do a QB sneak on 4th and 1, because they know the run is coming. With each successive run, a team is forced to play tighter defense. If anything, I'd like to see this research be taken and combined with passing the ball via play action after successive runs. |
