The Detroit Lions need a relentless running back. As I watched the Denver Broncos versus the Oakland Raiders on Sunday afternoon, I saw Raiders running back Marshawn Lynch running all over the place. He ran between the tackles. He took pitches out wide. He spun away from big hits. He drug defenders that were holding onto his legs. He almost always fell forward for the extra two or three yards. I felt one thing watching all of this: Jealousy.
The Lions could really use a someone like Lynch. Or a younger version of Lynch.
