Hey Coach,
Just wondering if you are going to do a training camp/pre-season podcast?

Thanks

I'll be doing the first one of the new season next week after the N.O. preseason game is played.

Thanks for asking. I'll post it here when it becomes available.

Wouldnt worry about ATrain.. Even if he starts the regular season.. Lynch will get PLENTY of work.

I expect the tandem to be like Rhodes/Addai was in Indy, but with much more of the workload coming via Lynch.

Im sure Lynch will be starting by the last two games, and for the regular season. I wouldnt be worried, not that anyone really is I'm sure.

So, since A-Train is starting...does that mean Lynch will get more reps than the starters will (the 12-16 or whatever plays)?

I think start A-Train...then for the rest of the half play Lynch/Wright, and then mix it up with some Fred Jackson, and finish up with Shaud Williams for the comic relief 4th quarter.

The only drawback of this is that Lynch will have the scrubs protecting him- of course, in theory he'll be going against NO's scrubs so it may not be a big deal.

I don't think Lynch will be starting any of the pre-season games or even the first couple reg. season games. A-train will play until he proves that he sucks more than Lynch. He has earned that being the veteran and all.

And let's not forget that when the season starts, it doesn't really matter who starts since the offensive package dictates who is on the field. Now in the future I am sure that Lynch will be in every available package but for the mean time, let's not read into who is starting the first couple of games of the season.

Hell, line A-train up as HB, and line Lynch up as a slot reciever even. With our lack of capable WR's, we can actually have some viable targets.

ARe people that down on Atrain or that up on Lynch? Personally I hope Lynch become something great but at the same time I believe Atrain can be a successful back with a decent Oline. He wont be a Walter Payton but you can definitly win with him. Atrain could wear out a Dline and then Lynch comes in and lights it up. Lynch will get a good number of carries but our season doesnt depend on him being exceptional.

The more I watch practice, I believe that the Bills are going to do what the Patriots did with Dillon and Maroney.....

Use Dillon a bunch of times and wear down the defense a bit, then give them a heavy dose of Lynch. Marshawn will also get more and more carries as the year goes on.

I wouldn't mind A-train starting the 1st half & Lynch the 2nd. It's only pre-season, let him get the practice.
