jgb Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Lynch 'excited to see' how good Jets will be By Tim Graham ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Marshawn Lynch has accepted the fact he's still a member of the Buffalo Bills. Rich Kane/Icon SMIBills running back Marshawn Lynch is excited to see what the rival Jets are doing, both on the field and in the video game world. But when he thinks about stepping outside of reality, he can't wait to play with the New York Jets. Lynch has been captivated by all the offseason moves the Jets have made. When the "Madden 11" video game comes out in August, the Jets will be Lynch's team. "I'm probably not supposed to say that, but I'm excited to see what the Jets are going to do," Lynch told me after Thursday's minicamp practices. "I'm real excited. "Now that's a team that I'm going to pick and play with on Madden. That's real talk." Lynch certainly will have a better chance to win with the Jets than he will with his own team on "Madden 11." The Jets have a team rating of 89, fourth-highest on the game. The Bills scored a 67, higher than only the St. Louis Rams. I asked Lynch what Jets acquisition has impressed him most. He nodded emphatically as I went down the line: Antonio Cromartie? Santonio Holmes? Jason Taylor? LaDainian Tomlinson? "Ooooo, see? They made so many moves it's hard to just pinpoint one," Lynch said. "I am a running back, and LT ... Man, one of the best that ever did it. I'm going to be excited to see him twice a year. Santonio and [Darrelle] Revis and Cromartie over there, that's going to be interesting." Lynch acknowledged the Jets are gambling with team chemistry. They've brought in some large personalities and parted ways with leaders such as running back Thomas Jones and kicker Jay Feely. "They are taking some risks," Lynch said. "Hopefully the risks they take are going to pay off for us. But that's going to be something fun to watch." Don't think Lynch has surrendered his Buffalo allegiance. After months of speculation Lynch would be traded and his delayed arrival to the practice field, he claimed he's excited about how the Bills' backfield is shaping up among himself, Fred Jackson and rookie C.J. Spiller. Undrafted rookie Joique Bell also is in the mix. "It's going to be a great thing to see on paper, fantasy, live, in practice, in video games," Lynch said. "However you can see us get down to action and regardless of who the No. 1 is, even if I'm No. 5, it's going to be beautiful to watch us play." http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/24505/lynch-excited-to-see-how-good-jets-will-be Who can blame him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIGHT STALKER Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 that's really bad. In this case, sometimes honesty is not always the best. Especially when the media gets a hold of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbro22 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I think it just hit me that the Jets could be 'that' team in Madden. Something I never expected to see in my lifetime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaspegs Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 I think it just hit me that the Jets could be 'that' team in Madden. Something I never expected to see in my lifetime. Already thought about it and not looking forward to it. They're gonna be this years Vikings. I used the Jets when they were 65 overall every game. Now they're one of the best teams in the game and everyones gonna hop all over them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garb Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 hey garb not for nothing but lynch would be the best RB on the pats by a boston mile The beast I am talking about is the Jets fanbase. And, I agree, Lynch would be far superior to any Pats RB. Then again, since when do the Pats have a good rb? Haven't seen one around these parts since Corey Dillon.
