Buffalo Bills Marshawn Lynch Fresh Start" Pre-Training Camp Update July 22

This year will be a tough year for Marshawn Lynch because he starts the season with a suspension from the season opener against New England Patriots. Marshawn Lynch is as tough as they come, but a severe high ankle sprain in 2007 and and a badly bruised shoulder 2008 cost the Bills feature back to miss four and a half games over his first two years. Marshwan Said, The more hits, the more likely they are to suffer injuries. It is part of the game and the law of averages. In Lynch's case a lot of times the yards he had to fight for can make his 300 touches last year, I feel more like 400. He is not exactly the type of Running Back that shies away from contact. Marshawn is fully aware of his punishing and physically demanding Running style. The coaching staff wants to effectivley manage his carriers and plan to doing so by making use of Fred Jackson. To what degree remains to be seen until the season starts against the New England Patriots. The Bills plan on using the no-huddle offense and that means that there will be a rotation system between Lynch and Jackson. Over Lynch first two Seasons averaged 3.64 yards a carry in September and October(271-987 yds), 4.5 per carry in November and December (259-1,164 yds). With numbers like that and fresher legs in the second half of the season Lynch could do some serious damage. The Bills will have three capable Running Backs for the playoff push in December and that could put the Bills over the top for the final playoff spot. Finally, this Bills Offense should be ready to explode with the addition of Terrell Owens as Co-Number One Wide Receivers with Lee Evans.
