Firstly, Marshawn Lynch is the best player on this offense and looked like it again yesterday (in spite of what might be said in another thread).
That being said, there were other positives to take away from the game. A big one was the play of Robert Turbin. He's quietly putting together a very strong season: good YPC despite limited carries, fantastic YAC as a receiving target, and continues to do all those little things well that have kept him on the field all this time. As a back-up and 3rd down back, you couldn't really ask for much more. It sort of feels like he's turning the corner a bit and realizing some of the potential he flashed during his rookie season.
Thought he and Lynch (both Oakland natives) were two of the bigger reasons we won that game yesterday. He may or may not develop into that "bell cow" running back, but I'm becoming more and more convinced that having multiple RBs who can be used as utility weapons will be crucial for Russell's success. Sproles and Bush weren't bell cows for Brees either, but were nevertheless integral to his success as a shorter quarterback.
