Marshawn Lynch is just doing the most with the reps he gets in the practice setting

The ball was placed on the three, on the first play Fred Jackson was stopped for no gain. On second down, Trent Edwards had TE Michael Matthews open coming across and missed him badly. On third down second round pick Torell Troup stood Marshawn Lynch up for a loss.
 
After that things got going. Joique Bell bounced one outside and beat everybody to the end zone. Chad Simpson then used two very good blocks from LG Nick Hennessey and LT Ed Wang to score again. Ryan Fitzpatrick ended it by missing Jonathan Stupar in the end zone.
 
Edwards got off to a really fast start, but wasn't good at the end where he was missing receivers and throwing an interception to Drayton Florence. Edwards also let himself get sacked by Aaron Maybin near the end and had two balls tipped. He also would've been tackled by Maybin for a safety thanks to a miscommunication with Marshawn Lynch. On the other side, he completed his first seven passes, three to runningbacks, two to the tight ends and just two to the wide receivers. Edwards was 11 of 12 when Reggie Torbor tipped a throw.
 
Ryan Fitzpatrick tossed interceptions to Andra Davis and Reggie Corner.
 
The catch of the day came from U.B.'s Naaman Roosevelt who went high to get maybe a 30 yard gain from Fitzpatrick. As he caught the ball, Lydell Sargeant flipped him, but he held on.
 
Fred Jackson got walloped again. This time by Kawika Mitchell.
 
The only one to leave early with an injury was T Cordaro Howard, a rookie out of Georgia Tech.
 
Not practicing today were Paul Posluszny, Keith Ellison, Eric Wood, Chris Kelsay and Spencer Johnson.

With a heavy contingent of competition at the running back position, and Fred Jackson the incumbent starter after a big 2009 season, Marshawn Lynch is just doing the most with the reps he gets in the practice setting.

"I'm sweating," said Lynch when asked if he was getting his fair share of carries. "I'm just getting in where I can."

Through the early days of camp Jackson has been getting the lion's share of the work with the first unit, with Lynch being sprinkled in with the first unit here and there.

Asked if he is looking for a bigger role than he played last season when he had a career low 120 carries, Lynch left it in the hands of the coaching staff.
