ESPN: Lynch Lets his Production Speak for Itself

By Ivan Maisel

BERKELEY, Calif. -- If Marshawn Lynch gained yards with as much flash as he talks, he'd be playing flag football in an Oakland park. You've heard of three yards and a cloud of dust? With Lynch, it's five yards and a cone of silence.  "I'm just trying to play," the California tailback said. "If it was up to me, I wouldn't do interviews."  Lynch is pleasant, friendly and so unruffled he makes James Bond look like Dick Vitale. And he has only himself to blame. As a freshman in 2004, playing behind All-American J.J. Arrington, Lynch still managed to gain 628 yards on a freakish 8.8 yards per carry. Last season, Lynch rushed for 1,246 yards despite missing two full games with a broken pinkie.
