Marshawn Lynch was one of the most beloved members of the Seahawks, but Bobby Wagner can't wait to get a chance to hit his former teammate. Actually, quite a few of Lynch's former teammates have never tackled him. He is in his second season as an Oakland Raider. Over his two campaigns with his new teams, he has never played against the Seahawks. The had a pair of preseason matchups, but Lynch didn't take the field in either. During training camp, the Seahawks did little tackling, especially on Lynch. He was one of the most essential pieces to Seattle's offense, so they wanted to keep him safe for games. Now, Wagner and a host of other Seahawks are eager to get a shot at him.
“I might have hit him kind of hard as a rookie and he kind of came up to me and went ‘we don’t go that hard over here,’ or something like that,” Wagner told The Seattle Times. “Nah, I’ve never; you see the way the dude runs the ball he’s kind of like a quarterback, you don’t want to (hit him). He was a very big part of our success so I wasn’t going to do anything to hurt him.”
Bobby Wagner wants the challenge of taking Marshawn Lynch down by hitting him high. He isn't in his prime anymore, put he's still one of the more powerful backs in the league. He has a reputation for being hard to bring down, so Wagner will look to prove himself.
