Marshawn Lynch Took Brian Schottenheimer's Seat During an Offensive Meeting This Week
By Michael Luciano
The Seattle Seahawks brought Beast Mode out of retirement when they re-signed former Pro Bowl running back Marshawn Lynch after a series of injuries just before the playoffs were about to get going.
Lynch and his utterly singular personality are back to causing mischief in the Seattle locker room, as he commandeered offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer's chair during the team's offensive meetings. Awesome.

Sounds like Beast Mode.
After losing their top three running backs in Chris Carson, Rashaad Penny, and CJ Prosise due to injury, Lynch re-signed with the Seahawks after playing six games and averaging 4.2 yards per carry with his hometown Oakland Raiders last season.
Lynch, who should be in line for a healthy workload against the 49ers, reintroduced himself to the Seattle media he loved so dearly with just a 12 second press conference.

“Happy holidays. Merry New Year. Y’all have a great day. It’s a great feeling to be back.”

It remains to be seen how much gas Lynch has left in the tank, but what can't be argued or questioned is the fact that his unique, gregarious personality back in the locker room should be a welcome sight in Seattle.
