 What's going on everyone? Welcome back to another video and to another Marshawn Lynch is back in the NFL video. I hope you've enjoyed the videos I've put up so far. It is Boxing Day today here in Alice Springs. I want to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I'm going to have to get all of these videos edited and uploaded before the weekend because Marshawn Lynch is going to be playing his first game back in the league since week number six of last year. What an amazing story. I have a feeling guys. I have a feeling he's going to ball out. I have a feeling he's going to get a hundred yards but for that to happen they need to play him enough. They need to give him enough carries and I guess because of that I want to see what his carries are like. I want to see what his movements like. I haven't done a proper you know film study reaction on Marshawn Lynch on many players at all but today we're going to do that. So it's not the QB school. It's not any of the others that you've recommended me. It's actually a random one with 2,000 well sorry 16,000 subs. Jackson Kruger Sports. So I'm going to give you a shout out mate and see what you've got to say. It's titled film study Marshawn Beast Mode Lynch is back in the NFL as a member of the Seattle Seahawks and let's see what happens. So Marshawn Lynch is back in Seattle. That's right. Get your Skittles ready. He is back. It is one of the coolest things that's happened in quite some time I think. Damn that wasn't an easy run. Let's watch that again. Skittles ready. He is back. It is one of the coolest things that's happened in quite some time I think. Having a legend of the game in my opinion a Hall of Fame running back. I think that honestly Marshawn Lynch is the best running back that I have ever seen play. Now keep in mind I'm not old enough to have seen guys like Barry Sanders play for example. Sure I've seen clips of him here and there. I have seen some games I've gone back and watched but in terms of someone that I've pretty much watched their entire career of there's nobody quite like Marshawn Lynch and I'm gonna tell you exactly why. I think this is a brilliant move from the Seattle Seahawks perspective. I think this makes the top. Trips right. Gun formation. Where are you going? I think he will have a big impact for them this season and one of the things that I think is very unique about him is just the fact that he is probably the strongest person like alive in terms of just his leg strength. It's just unreal leg strength and then you paired up with quick acceleration. He always seems to fall forward because of his leg strength and he also has just incredible footwork. I mean it's like he was made in a lab to be a running back. It seriously is. He basically covered everything there. Strength, exhilaration probably a 4-6, 40. Not only that he's got amazing jump cut and the center of gravity the base that he has his legs when he runs his legs are like running on it you know when he's running you know his every step his legs are sort of going outwards it's not just straight up and down so if you can imagine someone who's he's basically running in the in the he's basically running with his legs in the same you know formation as he would be doing a jump cut except he's stepping whilst he's doing it so what that means is his legs are so wide you do well trying to wrap up both legs you know what I mean so if he is charging at you what are you gonna do what are you gonna do you just gonna try and take out his legs because in rugby you'd have to try and wrap him you know I mean you have to try and wrap the arms whereas in NFL you can literally just go in with the shoulder or go diving straight at his legs so either that or you double team him or well I don't know let's find out he's that effective and keep in mind I am saying that effective not he was that effective because the last we saw him he was playing pretty great before he got hurt I mean listen that was over a year ago at this point so we'll still have to wait and see he's probably not gonna be as condition what did that defender do did they just high five each other it's all of him he was playing pretty great before he got hurt I mean listen that was over a year ago at this point so we'll still have to wait and see sorry guys but you completely you just let him through he's probably not gonna be as conditioned as he he was you know in previous years that's definitely gonna be the case actually but I definitely think that you put him on a pitch count you haven't played you know 20 snaps maybe you give him 10 carries I think you can absolutely have a positive benefit which is important because Seattle's half back core is now a little bit weak they got banged up they need a new half back and I think it just I think I just think this move damn man that's just that's just strength and so let's just there was no hole there jump into why so let's just jump into it and we'll start off with this play this is actually from his last game that we've seen him play in and it was ironically enough against the Seattle Seahawks what's gonna happen is that Oakland's center right guard and right tackle are all gonna go out the block of those three players right over there well it's actually really unique here is look at that Seattle defender who's right in the middle right there he's gonna do a great job of disrupting this play he quickly gets into the backfield and now at this point there's no way this play is gonna go for too much of a game it just isn't so what would a lot of guys do in this situation probably try to run as close to that left guard as possible squeeze through for as much as you can just sort of fall forward and take what you can get what does Marshall Lynch do that's what most players would do in the situation what's he gonna do players who are at this point 32 years old however most players don't go by the nickname beast mode watch out we just lower to shoulder and drives forward I mean listen that's not like the greatest play you'll ever see it only went for two yards but I think that that kind of play goes to show just the physical nature that Lynch is gonna bring to to this football team to the Seattle Seahawks he's one of the most physical backs that has ever played the game I really do stand by it he's the only half back that I've seen two yards is two yards actually beat down opposing defenders not the other way around it's not he's getting worn out making tackles are getting worn out that's just the kind of runner he has always been his entire career including the last time we saw of him I mean I think a lot of people forget there was a point there in the last season that he was playing of Oakland where he was top five in rushing your look at look at this look at you know the look at the width of the base he is running on with his feet they're so wide has always been his entire career and what that means is that in the motion of running he can really you know jump cut without having to put that left foot out too far that way or that right foot out too far that way let's watch including the last time we saw of him I mean I think a lot of people forget there was okay one car one car bro those feet season that he was playing of Oakland where he was top five in rushing yards in his last really what we saw of him he had you know what I'm saying thousand yards he had 891 total yards and it was actually 15 games not a total 16 games but that was the second the last season that he's played in bro if he does one run like that against the 49ers this weekend I'm gonna go nuts average 4.3 yards per carry in that season and then the next season he ended up averaging it would have actually been a thousand and one yards if he had played for a full 16 games so definitely this guy is still playing at a productive level maybe not at an elite level he's probably not gonna rush for 1500 yards ever again but you know what they don't need him do they just need him to have a positive impact and he can absolutely do that like this plays another great play it's just gonna be a passing play he's gonna run out over there and watch what happens right when the ball is snapped he makes the catch and now it's the very unique situation there are three Seattle players in the area so what would most halfbacks do they would just run up the middle get tackled hey at least you gain you know five to ten yards good job it's a check down all you're supposed to do is just gain a few yards but that's just not what Marshawn does watch how we just sprint by everybody even at 32 years old this guy has the speed to do something like that to outrun linebackers and now when there's a defensive act in the way he's just gonna run over that guy and pick up even more yards yes even still at you know he's now okay let's see let's see once again his wide base to do something like that to outrun linebacker right if they had the camera from behind him they would have seen his feet go fucking wide as very extremely extremely hard to tackle man I'm gonna say it again back in the way he's just gonna run over that guy and pick up even more yards yes even still at you know he's now 32 and I fully expect him to still be similarly at this level where he can outrun linebackers and run over defensive back well mate I hate to burst your bubble but he's actually 33 let me find out yes he is 22nd of April 1986 and he's still just as physical as he ever has been at least he was the last we saw him and honestly I fully expect him to still be that was yeah he had good speed off the off the catch there he caught it turned around in the air bang straight away you know potentially only two more games to play with the Seattle Seahawks this season obviously for them they're hoping four or five more games but either way I think that the fact that he is such a physical guy I think it will bring something to the Seattle offense that has a banged up running back so he knew that he actually he knew before he caught the ball that he was gonna sprint that way that's the thing he gets through he gets through right here okay he sees these two defenders going that way he sees this defender going that way he sees these two guys in front of him he knows he's gonna turn around and have a mental picture of what's behind him so he knows as soon as he catches the ball yes he's gonna sprint right he knows what's behind him he also knows that whilst this ball is being thrown to him these defenders are gonna realize he's getting the ball and they're gonna start coming back on this angle a very hard horizontal angle he knows if he catches the ball he turns around starts running downfield these guys are probably gonna close in really really quickly so in the one motion he grabs that ball sticks his foot in the ground and knows where he needs to go as a banged up running back group right now and also what if that was nice what's this turns around he jumps in the air two feet grabs the ball turns around in the air he literally did a 180 when he grabbed that turned around bang see you running back group right now and also one of the things that has made March on Lynch such a great player what makes beast mode beast mode is a play like this or they're gonna have their left guard and left tackle around the block of those two Seattle defenders right there and they're gonna pull Jared that's dangerous so March on Lynch is gonna actually take us that he's running up the middle but then he's gonna break to the left side of the screen and that's where he's gonna try to run but what I love about this is once he makes his cut look at how far he extends that leg I don't know if anybody is as good at doing this as March on Lynch well actually I'll have you know that I've just watched both Barkley and four net do counters just like that literally sticking their foot in the ground way out wide to get that extreme angle running the counter and you know it was something I hadn't seen much of to be honest and now we've just seen it again in the history of the NFL the way he sticks that one leg out and bends his other leg it's perfect form and it allows him to very quickly get the power to shift his body weight in such an extreme way because then watch out quickly he can't accelerate and get through that second level and the best thing about that run was that little shake the little shimmy the little juke in the air but but bang is the hips it's the head it's everything it's the two feet coming down so the defender actually doesn't know which foot you're gonna bang off now let's watch that again because then watch out quickly he can't accelerate I love this man I love it his body weight in such an extreme way because then watch out right left right left so he's gone off his left he's gone and then bang is left back down again see both feet are wide which means the defender really doesn't know which way he's going to step get to that second level and once again he puts his shoulder down and runs forward and you know he always falls forward every time he gets tackled he falls probably would have been better not even doing that step forward and gains an extra two yards I legitimately because he didn't actually get on the inside of that defender he just sort of ran into him he cannot remember a time where he got stopped in his tracks it just doesn't happen he falls forward for a couple of yards and also he has that acceleration in that footwork as as you see still I keep saying still because I think a lot of people are talking about well he's washed up I don't think he is I mean he wasn't the last we saw him I think that for whatever reason people kind of felt that way maybe partially because he was playing in Oakland where nobody was really talking about him but I don't know I think I can easily see Marshawn still having some major success I don't know how much longer he wants to play he might just want to play for the rest of this season and honestly I think it makes some sense I've always kind of wondered why people don't do that more often like Seattle has done this before when they got Devin Hester you know late in the season just pick up a legend who maybe isn't in the league anymore who maybe he couldn't do it for a full season but he can absolutely play well for just a couple of games and if not well then you're still back in the same situation you start exactly it may as well give it a shot I do want to bring up his acceleration because if the acceleration is still there and it'll be shown on this play where first things first there's gonna be two double teams and what's unique about that is the fact well let's actually let's see his true acceleration because I can't remember what he ran I think it was a 4 6 4 from the top of my head Marshawn Lynch here we go 2007 guys 4 4 6 not 4 6 4 I'm sorry Marshawn I'm really sorry about that let's see it's about 10 foot about 9 9 9 8 okay anyway okay from now on if I reference Marshawn Lynch's speed it was 4 4 6 at the combine 2007 that means that the Cleveland edge rusher right over there is going to be unblocked on this play but Oakland is okay with doing that because they're gonna have a jet sweep and so the idea is the edge rusher will have to stay a little bit further outside because it could be a jet sweep but it's actually not gonna be a jet sweep it's just a jet sweep motion because then they're gonna hand the ball off to Marshawn Lynch who will just run straight up the middle so not a bad play however right when the ball is snapped if you notice the edge rusher he is not fooled he realizes right away this is gonna be a handoff to Marshawn Lynch I'm gonna run over and try to make this play because I have to right now but check out Lynch's acceleration he just runs by him and gets to that second level and is able to gain a solid run on that one some of these plays might not seem like they're unbelievable highlight real-level plays there's certainly not the the beast quake type plays that we've seen him do in Seattle and that's kind of what he did in Oakland maybe he didn't have those big runs so I guess you could say to some degree he wasn't quite at the same level he has been at but he definitely still is a very valuable halfback and I think that the fact that he can turn those two yard losses into five yard games will do a lot for Seattle offense that likes to run the ball and one more play just to show that Marshawn Lynch absolutely still has it is this one it's once again gonna be a passing play he's just gonna run out and run that route right there and so there a car he's gonna just you know take a snap and get the ball to Marshawn Lynch so Lynch now has the ball so exciting man when these running backs get into space on either side they turn around they've got space in front of them that is when they're lethal man I just absolutely love it I love running backs getting a small pass whether it's a you know whether they line up in the slot like he has a couple of times or whether they you know motion out to the left or right do this swing swing route to the side whether it's a flat flat route any you know any any time running back gets the ball off of a pass and has some open space in front of them I love it once again there are a couple of Cleveland Browns in the area what's he gonna do here could do anything that's the great thing about running backs man it's flair it's it's vision it's it's whatever it's natural it's natural ability it really is round and try to see what he can do H play is slightly different watch how he's gonna stick it's once again I mean honestly if you want to make a Jerry West style NBA logo for the NFL you should make one of Marshawn Lynch with his legs like that because that's just how he I mean that's just how he's able to get the the strength that he can to move around and also how he is able to move so quickly and shift his body weight so quickly because watch how he completely jukes out of brown then bounces off another one and it takes like four guys to finally bring him down this isn't deep in the archives this is literally the last we've seen of him this guy can still play course he can people this I said it last year although I didn't have a YouTube channel that point that back then I was just blogging to my like 50 page views a week but now that I have an audience and see he knows what's behind them already he's susted out he's turned around he's caught the ball he knows that this defenders coming in from his backside on the right so he's gonna stick his foot in the ground waste no time whatsoever and start running the other way this guy can still play and you're gonna see it once you watch that Sunday football game in Seattle with Marshawn Lynch returning if nothing else it's gonna give them just a huge boost because that crowd is gonna go crazy when he gets announced how you know they're gonna give him some touches early on and let that crowd just go nuts I can't wait him getting like a like a touchdown on his first drive I mean the atmosphere is gonna be insane if you're going to that game have some fun because I would love to man I'm getting shivers just thinking about it right now it's one of the coolest situations that's happened I mean a Seattle Seahawks legend deciding that I'm gonna you know join the team right before they play their most important game of the season to try to win their division or maybe even get a bye week depending on how things break out it's honestly just fun it's just a cool situation that's something you like to see so yeah I mean that's what I think of this let me know you guys think I'll always enjoy hearing what you guys have to say and as always thanks for watching no worries brother no worries at all thank you for that we're almost done we are all most done
