Marshawn Lynch

Former strength coach compares Christine Michael to Adrian Peterson

While in Aggies land researching Seahawks RB Christine Michael, ESPN's Louis Riddick talked with Larry Jackson, Texas A&M’s strength and conditioning coach who also worked at Oklahoma when Adrian Peterson terrorized defenses. And what Jackson told Riddick stunned him.

“He told me that from a functional explosiveness perspective that Christine was on the same level as Adrian,” Riddick said. “When you’re talking about functional explosiveness — acceleration, change of direction, force and impact on contact, breaking tackles — he said he’s the same as Adrian. The only difference ... is that Adrian believed that he was unstoppable. He didn’t know if Christine believed it yet.”

(When asked to verify his comments, Jackson said that’s exactly what he said.)

Fantasy Impact: 

The article is from last August, but Riddick mentioned it again on Twitter this week. Michael may have finally passed Robert Turbin on the depth chart. OC Darrell Bevell said that, due to Michael’s play in practice, the team was going to move to more of a committee approach at RB. While we still believe that Marshawn Lynch will still be the clear RB1 in 2014, Michael’s role should grow. He’s a high-upside handcuff for Lynch.

Seahawks moving towards a RBBC

According to Terry Blount of ESPN.com, offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said the Seahawks will spread the carries around more this fall.

“We are going to be running back by committee,” Bevell said at a Town Hall event for season ticket holders. “

One of the reasons Seattle would be more open to a committee at running back is due to second-year back Christine Michael.

Michael essentially redshirted for the Seahawks last season. He was Seattle’s first draft selection last year, being selected with the 62nd overall pick of the 2013 draft. However, he was active for just four games as the Seahawks preferred the stability of Lynch and backup Robert Turbin.

But Michael’s combination of speed and power still has the Seahawks intrigued and he is expected to have a bigger role this season.

“We really like what Christine Michael is doing right now,” Bevell said.

Fantasy Impact: 

Seahawks RB coach Sherman Smith said earlier in the offseason that there was a "drop off" and that Lynch would continue to be the bell cow, but it appears that Michael has changed his offensive coordinator's mind with good play in practice.

On the subject of Marshawn Lynch's workload...

"We could be running-back-by-committee," Seahawks RB coach Sherman Smith said. "But who does it hurt? It hurts us because we're watering down Marshawn's reps so we can get other backs in there."

"To me, there's a drop off," Smith said. "You take Marshawn out of the game, there's a drop off to the next guy. So why would we do that?"

That rhetorical question isn't meant as a dig at Robert Turbin and Christine Michael. On the contrary, it's shoveling praise on Lynch, who Smith labels "a special athlete."

Fantasy Impact: 

Lynch has finished in the top 5 for three straight seasons and seems as safe of a pick as anyone in the first round. There is one concern heading into 2014 — Lynch’s DUI trial (from his 2012 arrest) is set to start in February and depending on the outcome, Lynch could be serving some sort of suspension when the season opens. He’s under contract for two more seasons, so the Seahawks will likely ride him hard before handing the keys over to scout-favorite Christine Michael or backup Robert Turbin. Also, Lynch has 1,955 career touches, so he’s no spring chicken.

Marshawn Lynch will make $7 million a year for the Seattle Seahawks, but he could be cut in 2015 if he experiences a decline.

Fantasy Impact: 

Lynch has two more years on his contract, and Christine Michael (and Robert Turbin) are waiting in the wings. Michael is considered to be the RB of the future, but the Seahawks are likely to continue to give Lynch a big workload in 2014 and see how he holds up.
