Seattle Seahawks Rumors: Marshawn Lynch Injury Could End Season With Seahawks?
The Seahawks expect to learn Tuesday afternoon what Dr. Meyers recommends for an abdominal issue Lynch first felt at the end of practice November 12.
Tomsula said that the 49ers had prepared for all the running backs on Seattle’s depth chart, including Rawls, and didn’t see anything different from what the team had studied. “To see a young guy come through and be so physical and so tough and to make the most of an opportunity”. Rawls was also effective in the passing game with three receptions for 46 yards and a touchdown.
If the Seattle Seahawks rumors turn out to be true and Marshawn Lynch is done for the season, he would finish the year with 417 rushing yards and 80 receiving yards to his credit. On Seattle’s third offensive play, Rawls caught a swing pass from Russell Wilson and rather than stepping out of bounds after a healthy gain, rammed his way into and through San Francisco cornerback Tramaine Brock.
“That’s what I thought (then) and that’s what I still think”, he said. “I’m looking for contact”.
But those positive moments lacked the consistency for San Francisco to take down the Seahawks on a day Seattle started to look more like the team that has won two straight NFC titles.
Against one of the top defenses in the league, Blaine Gabbert showed flashes of why San Francisco went ahead with benching Colin Kaepernick.
“Glenn means a lot to this team on and off the field, so obviously I have a ton of respect for his play”, Tomsula said. “He used his feet, he used his arm, got himself out of some things”. “To see Tyler Lockett make those plays, it’s exciting, you’re happy for him”. “I’m not into moral victories, but that was encouraging”. He finished the day with flying colors by guiding Seattle Seahawks to an emphatic win over San Fransisco 49ers.
Lockett doubled his career touchdown numbers before halftime.
Has Marshawn Lynch played his last game as a Seahawk? The second was an 11-yard catch in the second quarter that stretched the lead to 20-0.
“We look real familiar again”, Lockett said. After forcing Seattle to punt for the first time, the 49ers took the ball at their own 8-yard line with about 1 1/2 minutes left and drove 92 yards for their first score.
But up until the point Gabbert hit Vance McDonald on a 19-yard touchdown, the 49ers had done nothing offensively and created far too big a hole to overcome on the road.
But while Gabbert kept marching the 49ers down field, he couldn’t get the 49ers into the end zone in the second half, despite several trips into the Red Zone. “The mindset has been the same since I started last week”, Gabbert said. “It was good to come in here (to the team meeting room) and tell them in front of the whole team that they did a great job”. Steven Hauschka missed the extra point off the outside of the right upright, his first true miss in 40 points-after-touchdown.
