pro- low center of gravity, appears to have good vision

con- runs upright, someday maybe sept 2, someone is gonna take his hat clean off with his head inside. Also strikes me as the type that would suddenly be injured should they go down by 3 scores:detective:

Agree!

Wrap him up. Don't let go and don't try to tackle him with one arm! If we can do that, it won't be an impressive start for his season.

Go Vols!

This isn't me arguing or disagreeing. (there is my preface)

I truly thought that having a low center of gravity meant that you did NOT run upright. I probably never knew the official meaning of "low center of gravity," so what does that mean?

They are both quite illusive. Bush is far far smoother in his cuts and jukes, and Lynch can power over you. Bush's style will allow a longer career (ala Tiki Barber), whereas Lynch could be very successful, but his knees will probably degnerate faster than Bush, due to harder cuts.

Sharp cuts, upright runner... our defensive speed will be important - and wrapping up upon first contact.

The only thing i would add to that is keep him and the other one between the tackles, and play heads up. Arent they working in some spread option with the new OC? Mayo and McCoy (quick as a cat) must stay in position to make a play, if they break out some of that funny stuff.

Look at the highlights from his Freshman year. He ran a 70 yd TD in less than 3 secs. That's fast! The advantage he has over Adrian Peterson is that AD often gets caught from behind. You can't catch Lynch unless you're #4 for UT! #33 is no slug either.

Did you just say a 70 yard TD in less than 3 seconds? That would be equivalent to a 2 second forty yard dash.

I don't think Justin Gatlin could catch him if he scored a 70 yard TD in less than 3 seconds, much less Wade or Hefney.

I don't think Secretariat, Floyd Landis, or Bobby Labonte would catch him either, come to think of it.

he's a pretty good back but is highly overrated. the only way he'll sniff 100 yds against us is if their passing game has alot of success and they open it up.

what Im referring to is his balance...notice how tacklers seem to bounce off him. Yes some of them are just poor attempts at tackles but some are him just keeping on his feet after the hit and keeping his legs churning. I dont mean to put words in your mouth, but I think your referring to the forward body lean Johnny Majors always spoke to, which also makes you tougher to tackle.

My main concern would be if they have a strong passing game, coupled with a strong running game, our defense, especially d-backs, will be on their toes all day.Which inturn transfers to UT's offense better be putting some big points up on the board or the trip back home for UT fans will be a loooooong one!:angry: :BANGHEAD2:

jamal lewis was exceptional at that...he had runs in 98 against Syracuse and Auburn that were just like that...he had a little bit of a lean, but he always kept his legs going, knocked guys right off of him...

He is certainly not a slouch running back. But I think our D can keep him in check. He comes from a great HS. My HS team used to scrimmage Oakland Tech back in the mid 90's. They have been putting out D-1 prospects for years. My senior year they had 15 or so players accept D-1 scholarships.

Tyler (Boston, MA): How are you preparing for the big season opener vs. Tennessee in their 100,000+ sea of orange?

Marshawn Lynch: That's not something you can prepare for. Nothing can prepare you for that. You just have to be ready to play. You aren't playing against the fans. That shouldn't make a difference.

That's what he thinks. I'm sure he's a great back who will be tough to contain, but wait 'til the first time he tries to listen to the snap count with 100,000 people yelling at him.
