Lynch breaks into the top 5 of NFL rushing

[Mitchy moo]

McGahee was never in the top 5, midway through the season (correct me if I am wrong). It's also pretty cool that 2 of the top 4 RB's in terms of rushing yardage are rookies!

1. Adrian Peterson MIN - 1036
2. Willie Parker PIT - 726
3. Joseph Addai IND - 704
4. Marshawn Lynch BUF - 690
5. LaDainian Tomlinson SD - 657


GO LYNCH!!!!

AP is on pace for ~2K yards in his rookie year, wow. If he physically holds up, he might do some amazing things.

That's crazy that AP is 300 yards ahead of anyone else, and Childress spilt carries between him and Taylor to start the year. Unbelievable. for Marshawn.

He's a beast thats for sure, and its times like these in which I wished Cleo Lemon had not thrown that pick.

Great for ML hope he keeps it up. AP is a friggin monster and built like a mack truck. I can definetly see him getting hurt via cramps etc with the amount of work her gets lately.

well, I think that's one thing that pretty much no one would have predicted - that's awesome.

Good for Lynch, keep it up!

Parker will be close to AP tomorrow morning. It's to bad Lynch plays this way and won't even be a consideration for ROY. Oh well, let AP get all the attention and just keep grinding away.

Re: Lynch breaks into the top 5 of NFL rushing

It will be interesting to see how Peterson and Lynch hold up. Usually rookies get tired late in the year because the college season is so much shorter than the NFL. Guys get tired, mentally as much as physically, when they hit the rookie wall.

Peterson is on pace for 316 carries. In his 3 seasons at Oklahoma he carried 339, 220 and 188 times.

Marshawn Lynch is on pace for 354 carries. In his 3 seasons at Cal he carried 71 ,196 and 223 times.

Rookie RBs have to grind out the latter half of the season, and both these guys will have to fight through some adversity.

Well, AJ Smith did go out and hire Norv Turner to coach the Chargers.

I don't want to rain on anybody's parade but McGahee will play tonight and will probably be ahead of Lynch, just as an FYI.

Re: Lynch breaks into the top 5 of NFL rushing

Just think how effective he will be once we get him in the passing game, This kid is something special, cant wait to see what he does when the offense really finds itself!!

Re: Lynch breaks into the top 5 of NFL rushing

If you would have told me in April that Lynch would be ahead of LT in rushing halfway through the season, I'd have laughed in your face and praised the Bills incessantly for drafting the kid. With that said, well done, Bills F.O. You've still got it, Marv.

Re: Lynch breaks into the top 5 of NFL rushing

McGahee wont have a good game tonight

Re: Lynch breaks into the top 5 of NFL rushing

hmm,

i think if we clean up our running game a bit (and facing cleveland, miami 2X, might help) marshawn might mash out 1500 yards. he runs so hard that you've got to think with 20+ a game he is going to break more and more long ones.
