He is no Lynch, but he is a great R.B. he just has to prove it.

He won't have to shoulder the burden alone - Seattle is definitely gearing up for a committee, but Lacy makes a nice "1" in a "1-2" punch.

Goodbye beast mode

Hello feast mode
Marshawn was one of my favorite Seahawks. He is so Oakland. I still remember when he and Goldson would get into it.

He was down to 234 lbs at the beginning of last season. Down from 270 the previous season. Now up again?

I tell you if he keeps the weight off and plays like the stud I know he is, I will miss him.

Glad he is gone. Feast mode will be injured half a year again. I said it when he was in his rookie year. He keeps running as hard as he does, he wont make a full season.

We eat salmon and sushi here - not that fattening cheese. Feast mode will be a lean, mean, fighting machine. :wink:

I was always sure that he was just trying to up his stock with the Pats and would stay there. Wish the Steelers would have signed him, but never felt that it was going to happen...

Joneill is Mexican? Mystery solved!

The biggest mystery of Super Bowl LI has been solved, and, no, it’s not how the Atlanta Falcons managed to blow a 25-point lead in the second half

Proud @houstonpolice Major Offenders Divison traced Brady Jersey to Mexico & it has been recovered with help of FBI & Mexican authorities.
As first reported by FOX Sports NFL Insider Jay Glazer, the FBI and NFL security have found Tom Brady’s stolen jersey, which has been missing for a month and a half.

It's settled. Comey is officially an outstanding FBI Director.

He was director of his publication but resigned last week. Authorities are still investigating so I guess he's free (for now).

...only to completely botch it and see other teams draft OTHER QBs who turn out to be actual true NFL-quarterbacks.

Clay Matthews Sr., the patriarch of one of the NFL’s most successful family trees, died Thursday night at 88 years old.

Matthews was a Korean War veteran who was a two-way lineman for the San Francisco 49ers, playing 45 games over four seasons in the 1950s, a South Carolina native who went on to play at Georgia Tech.

Matthews was the first of three generations of family members to play in the NFL: his two oldest sons, Clay Jr. and Bruce, each played 19 years in the league. Clay Jr., a linebacker, was a first-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in 1978, spending 16 seasons in Cleveland before finishing his career with the Falcons. He was a four-time Pro Bowler.

Bruce was a first-round pick of the Houston Oilers in 1983, and is arguably the most versatile offensive lineman in NFL history, starting entire seasons at each of the five positions. Bruce was a 14-time Pro Bowler, seven-time All-Pro and inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2007.

Three of Bruce’s sons went on to the NFL: Jake is the Falcons’ starting left tackle, Kevin played for three teams during his five-year career, and Mike was an undrafted free agent in 2016 who recently signed a futures contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Two of Clay Jr.’s sons made it to the league: Clay III is a six-time Pro Bowl-selected outside linebacker with the Green Bay Packers and Casey was a fourth-round pick of the Eagles in 2011.
Both of the bolded names were Aggies, and Jake was a huge part of Manziel's Heisman win. Mike was back up center that year.

It's a hell of a homefield advantage. Miami has the South Beach Effect.

They get in trouble in much smaller cities, like Buffalo.
