We Put Together A Fantasy Roster For Zakuani's Charity Game

... __link__/BB 2 FMc MEn Y. — rok (@rokos) March 2, 2017. Miesha “Cupcake” Tate - The Tacoma native retired from MMA with an 18-7 record. The one-time champion would add some defensive bite to a game that often runs up the score. Charity matches should include take-downs, not just goals. That’s a great way to get someone a penalty goal. John Ross - Kid hasn’t retired, yet. He hasn’t even played professionally. He ran a 4.22 combine. With John Ross, a coach has some who is both a left back and a forward at the exact same time. Willie “Boom Boom” Bloomquist - The all-effort, all-positions former Mariner will try harder than any one. He’s a Kitsap legend who could bring huge crowds from the West Sound as he plays every position on the field. Jon “Ginja Ninja” Ryan - I’m selfish. Plus, sometimes you need your goal kicks to go 75 yards and bury the other team in the corner. Also, I’m selfish. Ryan competed in American Ninja Warrior so he’s more than “just a punter.” Also, I’m selfish. Steve, we’re ...

Comparing Eddie Lacy's And Marshawn Lynch's First 4 Seasons

... somewhat unpopular statement. Lacy has been the butt of countless weight jokes over the last two seasons. But I’ll defend him and I think he can be a top-five running back with the right team. But how does he compare to Marshawn Lynch? Lynch is one of the best runners of this generation, was an essential cog to the Hawks’ offensive machine and has great postseason stats to prove it. Also, Lynch’s Beast Quake runs are likely the best runs you’ll see from a player for some time. So for argument’s sake, look at how Lacy and Lynch compare. I mean, it’s the offseason and the NFL combine hasn’t even happened yet. What else are we going to talk about. The Seahawks' 3 worst free agent signings of the Pete Carroll era. Even though he’s been retired for a season now, Lynch’s stats in recent seasons versus Lacy’s don’t really compare. From 2013 to 2015, Lacy has more rushing yards and receiving yards than Lynch. But they simply don’t compare. Lacy played seven more games than Lynch over that span. I’d be willing to bet Lynch would make up the 95-yard difference on the ground in seven more games. In terms of ...

Marshawn Lynch To Raiders 'could Really Happen

... Seattle. Lynch has considered plans to come out of retirement , according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Josina Anderson. RELATED:  Big changes in post-free agency first-round NFL mock draft. The rumors about a possible comeback attempt are multipling. Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio cited a source saying there is a "very good chance" Lynch will end his retirement , and The Huffington Post's Jordan Schultz reported Lynch asked for his release in a meeting with general manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll on Thursday. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo, however, characterized the meeting as " more of a personal visit than anything.". The Seahawks still hold Lynch's rights, meaning he would revert to Seattle's roster if he filed the paperwork to come off the team's reserve/retired list. The Raiders would need to trade for the five-time Pro Bowler unless Seattle released him so he could play for his hometown team, but a league source told Schefter and Anderson, "It could really happen.". Lynch was due $9 million in ...

Shaun Alexander Vs. Marshawn Lynch

... carry. The Seattle Seahawks have been fortunate enough to have two feature backs in the last couple of decades, Shaun Alexander and Marshawn Lynch. Both players were essential to the Hawks’ success, one during the Mike Holmgren era, the other with Pete Carroll. But if it came down to it, in their prime, who was the better back. Seahawks cornerback De Shawn Shead welcomes son, Carson. Alexander was the back in the league for a bit. He totaled over 1,500 yards for five consecutive seasons. The last of those seasons, he ran for 1,880 yards, maintained a season average of 5.08 yards per carry and scored a whopping 27 rushing touchdowns. He was named MVP that season (2005) but the Hawks fell short of a Super Bowl win. Lynch had one more 1,000-yard seasons than Alexander, including two in Buffalo before he was traded to Seattle in 2010. While he might not have shined as brightly as Alexander did, Lynch was more consistent throughout his whole career. Lynch had three-straight seasons totaling more than ...

I'm Going To Do My Best Marshawn Lynch Impression For Seahawks

... doesn’t help. RB Eddie Lacy visited Sea (his new team), Minn and GB in the last wk. For one of the three teams Lacy weighed 267. Listed last year at 234. — Bob Mc Ginn (@Bob Mc Ginn) March 14, 2017. Lacy knows he has doubters and that, he says, motivates him. “I’m very motivated to prove myself,” he said, via the team’s website. “I know what I’m able to do, but I just want to go out and show everybody that I can do it and will do it. I just can’t wait to get my chance.”. Lacy added: “[I] just want to come out and showcase what I can do, prove that I’m not a fluke, that I can do what I do and do it really well.”. The Seahawks, who sported one of the league’s best rushing attacks when Lynch was in the backfield, had a nonexistent running game last season. According to Football Outsiders ’ metrics, Seattle ranked 23 rd in rushing. From 2012-15 - coinciding with Russell Wilson’s arrival and years after Lynch became a cornerstone of the offense - the running game never ranked worse than seventh (and twice finished ...

Eddie Lacy Could Have Marshawn Lynch-like Revival Of Career

... in DYAR despite his 1,000-yard season, behind his teammate Jackson. Lynch was 29 th in DVOA and had a success rate of 46%. Lacy had a 48% success rate in 2014. Though his DYAR and DVOA went down during his slump season in 2015, Lacy’s success rate actually went up to 49%. Lynch had hit a lower low before arriving in Seattle than Lacy’s current low; and I’m using the term “low” for a player who did average 5.1 YPC last season. Since entering the NFL, Eddie Lacy has averaged 2.15 yards per rush after first contact, second to only Marshawn Lynch in that time. __link__/V 7 mis 3 f K 7 c. — ESPN (@espn) March 14, 2017. Look for Lacy to compete with Thomas Rawls , the 2015 leader in DYAR, for the starting gig, but if both are healthy I’d expect them to be a legit duo and to give the Seahawks one of the best backfield threats in the NFL. Add in C. J. Prosise as a receiver/back and teams won’t know what to do with that. Look at the New England Patriots , who ...

Russell Okung Believes Melvin Gordon Is A Young Marshawn Lynch

... Friday night in Houston. First, he had some business to attend to. The Chargers’ new left tackle flew into California to put pen to paper on a four-year contract, cementing his place as the cornerstone of the team’s offensive line. Okung had a number of suitors, but knew in his heart the Bolts were the right fit.  Among a litany of factors, the presence of a young, up-and-coming Melvin Gordon weighed heavily on his decision. After all, Gordon reminds him of another running back he blocked for during his time with the Seattle Seahawks. “He reminds me a lot of Marshawn (Lynch),” Okung said.  “His running style, ability to fight for extra yardage and fall forward.  I knew I have to be around runners like that. He is what I am used to. You obviously want to be part of a team that is physical, runs the ball and is efficient at the quarterback position.  That ...

Giants Re-sign De Pierre-paul For 4 Years

... worth about $68 million. Two summers ago, on July 4, Pierre-Paul's right hand was severely damaged in a fireworks accident in Florida. He missed the first half of that season, but returned for the final eight games. He started all 12 games he played last year and has a strong finish as the Giants made the playoffs. The team gave Pierre-Paul the franchise tag last month for the second time in three years. Report: Raiders looking to acquire Marshawn Lynch. The Raiders are strongly considering luring retired star running back Marshawn Lynch out of retirement and back home to Oakland, ESPN reported Friday morning. Lynch, who is still under contract with the Seahawks, is said to be trying to decide if he wants to come back to the NFL. If he were to come back, there appears to be mutual interest between Lynch and the Raiders. Lynch retired after the 2015 season with 9,112 yards in 10 NFL seasons, but there is a chance “Beast Mode” could fill the gap in the Raiders' running attack caused by Latavius Murray's departure. Lynch, who began his star-studded football career at ...

Ex-seahawk Marshawn Lynch Gets In Twitter Feud With Netflix’s ‘ultimate Beastmaster

... ass … #beastmaster”. Y'all kno damn well it's only one real beast right? Biting ass… #beastmaster __link__/SSg Pnd Jlx X. — Shawn Lynch (@Money Lynch) February 23, 2017. The Ultimate account foolishly, naively replied, “Not so sure about that.”. And it was on. “Beastmaster can’t f— wit BEASTMODE! Beast Mode> beastmaster.”. As if there were any doubt. The show, produced by Sylvester Stallone, is modeled after the popular “Ninja Warrior” and other extreme obstacle-course competitions. Piling on, Netflix released the show Friday, Feb. 24. Lynch’s number on the field? 24. Lynch, who retired last year after nine seasons, has built a business around the name Beast Mode, selling brand apparel and accessories at two retail stores and online. Regardless of how many competitors Ultimate puts inside its mechanical dragon, though, we can be certain that not one of them will be capable of causing an earthquake. The show ...
