Marshawn Lynch seizes microphone, wins Raiders’ OTAs

Marshawn Lynch made all kinds of waves Tuesday at Oakland Raiders organized team activities. First, a video from Monday’s practice posted by Raiders coach Jack del Rio circulated showing a lively Lynch breaking “tackles” on his way to a stretching end zone leap, reminiscent of several similar plane-breaking runs from Lynch’s Seattle Seahawks career.

Of course OTA practices are non-contact so the scamper provides little evidence of Marshawn’s true performance level. On my viewing, the dark Oakland defense jerseys combined with either the tint of the camera or the glare off the grass making the silver helmets look more golden convinced me this was some odd replay of the original Beast Quake and seemed as real as ever.
