Marshawn Lynch didn’t want to talk before the Super Bowl, but when he finally opened up, he delivered one of the most memorable quotes of the week.
The Seattle Seahawks running back was asked about assistant head coach and offensive line coach Tom Cable on Thursday, as Lynch met with the media for more than seven minutes — up from six minutes on Tuesday and Wednesday. Lynch said he didn’t know much about Cable when the coach was hired by the Seahawks in 2011.
“Being from Oakland, all I knew about him is he punched people,” Lynch told the media. “That’s my kind of person.”
Cable allegedly punched Oakland Raiders defensive backs coach Randy Hanson in 2009. Cable was the Raiders’ head coach at the time of the attack. Hanson said the punch broke his jaw, and he felt his life was being threatened by Cable.
