Lynch goes full Beast Mode in a tweet battle with the new show “Ultimate Beastmaster.”. Share story. Susan Kelleher. Seattle Times staff reporter.

On Thursday, the former running back known as Beast Mode for his absolute dominance on the field tweeted back, “Y’all kno damn well it’s only one real beast right? Biting ass … #beastmaster”.

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

... game gets a ringer. Little puts in great defensive effort while controlling an offense. Plus, she needs to be back in Seattle so Laura can steal her back. Walter Jones - Offensive Linemen often get mocked for their athleticism, but people who do that are mean and dumb. Jones’ footwork is otherworldly. Dude should be on Dancing with the Stars. Imagine sending up a free kick toward Big Walt. Nate Robinson - One of the best defensive backs in Huskies history, winner of multiple slam dunk competitions, Nate is now schooling D-League talent. His post-NBA career shows a dedication to the joy of sports. He even tried out for the Seahawks, just because he could. The tiny guard is one of the best athletes pound-for-pound in U. S. history. Plus, watching Nate rise up on a corner kick would make ...

Marshawn Lynch To Raiders 'could Really Happen

... offseason, but Lynch quashed them himself in an interview on "60 Minutes Sports.". However, the Raiders are said to covet the services of the Oakland native, who rushed for 9,112 yards and 74 touchdowns over a 10-year career with Buffalo and 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 ...

Shaun Alexander Vs. Marshawn Lynch

... a great offensive line in front of him. Possibly the biggest name on that line was Steve Hutchinson, who the Hawks let go following a Super Bowl loss and Alexander’s MVP season. The next year, Alexander ran for 896 and seven touchdowns following his 1,880-yard 27 touchdown season. Not only did he not have the same line creating holes, but his body eventually gave into wear and tear. He had four consecutive seasons where his touches totaled well into the 300 s. A lesser O-line and a gassed running back aren’t a great combo. Lynch might not have been the same runner in his final season, but he was more consistent overall. There’s also playoffs to consider. That’s where the comparison stops. In the postseason, Lynch has 937 rushing yards versus Alexander’s 564. Lynch only played in two more playoff games than Alexander and averaged 85.2 yards per game against Alexander’s 62.7. Lynch was essentially just one more season away from being just the 7 th running back in the Super Bowl era to run for 1,000 postseason rushing yard. He was also one play call away from a second Super Bowl ring and Super Bowl MVP votes. If you want a bigger example of ...

Russell Okung Believes Melvin Gordon Is A Young Marshawn Lynch

... Philip Rivers as another motivating factor. “Obviously you hear tons about Philip, and you see what type of ability he has.  I know what kind of player he is.  However I can come in and support whatever he is trying to do, I will do it.  I just want to establish us as a great group on the offensive line.  I’ll be honored to do that. Playing against them (last year), this is an extremely talented team.  They have a great group of core guys here, and I think it’s a team that’s really close.  I like what (Head Coach Anthony) Lynn is doing, how he speaks and what he’s asking of his players.  I knew this was something I wanted to be a part of.”. After facing the Chargers defense twice last season while with the Denver Broncos, he also knows firsthand how dangerous the team is on the other side of the ball.  Like most, he believes reigning NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Joey Bosa is primed to take the Bolts to another level. “Bosa is a young guy who has a great future.  He is very professional, and you can tell he really respects the game.  Just how he ...

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

... 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 first). “I’ve always favored Marshawn Lynch ’s running style, and that’s something Pete Carroll definitely likes,” Lacy said. “I’m going to come in and do my best impression of him and just bring my hard work and my hard running style to the table.”. And nothing would make coach Pete Carroll happier. “I like that we’re bringing in a big, tough guy who’s going to send a message with the way he plays the game,” he told 710 ESPN Seattle recently. “… We went all those years with Marshawn (Lynch), and everybody knew what we stood for and ...

Eddie Lacy Could Have Marshawn Lynch-like Revival Of Career

... style, but his issues are in the kitchen, not with the law. That’s why Seattle inserted a $385,000 bonus tied directly to his weight in Lacy’s new one-year, $5.5 million contract, only about half of which is guaranteed. The team may want him around 245, he’s rumored to be at 267. There’s still about six months to go before Week 1, so if Lacy can get to that desired playing weight by then, the Seahawks could be getting a player who was a top-10 running back in 2014 and still only 26. In 2014, Lacy had 1,566 yards from scrimmage with 13 touchdowns. Football Outsiders put him at eighth in DYAR and DVOA. Consider that in Lynch’s second season with the Bills, he was only 25 th 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 ...

Giants Re-sign De Pierre-paul For 4 Years

... could fill the gap in the Raiders' running attack caused by Latavius Murray's departure. Lynch, who began his star-studded football career at Oakland Tech High and Cal before making a name for himself with the Seahawks, is in shape and has indicated in the past he'd love to play for his hometown Raiders. Tattoo artist details Hernandez's ink, which prosecutors say honor the former NFL player's murders. A California tattoo artist has detailed to jurors the violent artwork he inked on Aaron Hernandez that prosecutors say memorializes the former New England Patriots star's killing of two men. David Nelson testified Friday in a Boston court that Hernandez visited Hermosa Ink in Hermosa Beach, California, in 2013 specifically seeking a tattoo depicting a revolver that had all but one of the six cylinders loaded with bullets. Hernandez also instructed Nelson to ink two gun muzzles, a spent shell casing and the words "God Forgives" etched backward so that they could be read in a mirror. Prosecutors say the tattoos are evidence that Hernandez killed Daniel de Abreu and Safiro ...

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

... advantage to Lacy (that’s listed anyway). Lynch has the advantage with elusiveness, though. His combination of explosive cuts, speed and power were difficult to manage. Lynch also had a great stiff arm. Lacy isn’t as elusive, runs a bit more upright and is more of a straight-ahead runner. But where this comparison gets interesting is comparing early years.  Looking at their first four seasons, Lacy has more rushing yards, receiving yards, total touchdowns and a better per-carry average even though he played in six fewer games than Lynch. Lynch was tackled behind the line of scrimmage 104 times in that span. Lacy just 73. Overall, Lacy has been more productive in Green Bay than Lynch was in Buffalo. Now, this is all speculation. If given the choice, I take Lynch any day. Lacy can be an excellent runner, but let’s not ignore the ...
