    Jackson or Lynch, who's the starter.

    Another thread I got roasted for last year.

    I suggested that Jackson be the starter with Lynch being the guy to come in and pound it down their throats later.

    What do you guys think now?

    I think Jackson finds the hole better.

    who's the starter? April

    Seriously, RBC or 2 back set.. It would've been great if Lynch was in there to soften up the D for Jackson to come in.

        Can one of the mods take Justa off ignore. He's not on my ignore list so I don't know why I can't see his posts.

          So far, Lynch. He is better at running. Jackson seems to be the better 3rd down option though.

            Out of all the Bills' problems, figuring out if Lynch or Jackson should start is way at the bottom of the list. I hope they split carries evenly so that they're both well rested for our Super Bowl run. (The last part is a joke.)

              If Jackson plays like he did last night, you let him keep the starting job, and make Lynch realize this is what happens when you are a screw up..

              Not that I don't beleive in Lynch, but make Lynch earn it back with extremly hard work. He'll get his tounches, and he'll need to make the most of them

              However I don't mind seeing Lynch in the backfield and Jackson motioning out wide more often

                  If finding the hole better makes you a better RB, Travis Henry wins hands down.

                    I still think Lynch should be the starter. Jackson ran well, but the OL actually did well opening up some holes for him. And just in case you didn't remember, neither back did very well in the preseason.

                    I'd love to see them both on the field at the same time. Run screen plays to both of them at times and get the defense to try and guess where to load up.

                      Re: Jackson or Lynch, who's the starter.

                      i don't know what i think. Jackson is more of a thurman style runner. he squeks into tight spaces and moves in and out very quickly. Lynch loves running through people.

                      In some cases its better to get jackson running early, getting the first downs by sliding through holes and such and making the defenses wonder what they are doing wrong and then just blast them with Lynch. Lynch however has the upside that when he's running well in the first and second quarter, he is running even better in the fourth. I don't know if he can run like he does in the fourth without steady action during the game.

                      The solution would be to roll a lot of two back sets with jackson running out for screens and lynch blocking and running with the ball in the other direction. It'll get the d's to creep up to stop two lethal threats and then open it up more for Evans and TO.

                              Why does one guy have to be the man? A lot of teams have their thunder-and-lightning combo, and we have ours. The issue is, can they make full use of both of them?
