Lacy out for weeks?!

[Harlan Huckleby]

I disagree. Lacy gets zero benefit from lugging a spare tire around his midsection. It only puts more strain on his joints. He could lose 15 more pounds without losing an ounce of muscle or power. 15 pounds less weight is not going to make him less of a battering ram. In fact he'll just be a bit quicker and take less direct hits.


I say let Lacy walk. The era of Jerome Bettis running backs is over. Lacy is a bad gamble, other than as a modestly paid part of a rotation.

BTW, Marshon Lynch, a similar back, was better than Lacy because he had a somewhat leaner build, at least in part.

I can't argue with LAcy's productivity this year when he was healthy. But I wouldn't invest in his future.
