I'm no football genius, I'm just old, but I can still see. And what I see for the most part is a very slow Packer team. And this problem seems to be getting worse. So I understand you cannot teach fast/speed, but the Packer coaches sure seem good at teaching slow.
It's very difficult for a running back to read the right hole when MM calls the halfback toss 8 times in the game. When a RB is looking at the ball that is being pitched the length of a handoff, he cannot correctly read the gaps because he has to catch the ball. MM loves his stupid halfback toss play that he came up with a few years ago and runs it constantly. MM is to blame for people not finding the right holes, not the RB's.
I will agree that Lacy dances too much. He seems to think he can juke guys instead of just plowing through them. This is also on the coaches. You have a clearly confused 2nd year player and who is helping him? Where are the coaches?
Lacy had a tough sled in Ford field last year too, but he really started to excel as a feature back getting 20+ carries a game when Rodgers was down.Originally Posted by channtheman

Lacy is worthless on turf. He's a plodder. He'll be great in Lambeau come November...but on a fast track, the guy is a liability IMO. Starks should be the feature back on fast tracks.
It's such a GOOD feeling...13 TIME WORLD CHAMPIONS!!
