running backs

How do you know this? Did you read something?

I have a feeling you're right, though. Shields seems to be toast, and Lacy wouldn't be back until the playoffs, which seem out of reach right now.

Just posted in other thread, but:

McCarthy indicated Makinton Dorleant would be activated thus the other two cannot be activated. You only get one a year.

Makinton Dorleant is going to save our season?

They need to start figuring out their CB situation for next year.

Eddie is too fat to thrive in the NFL, that's a fact jack. Sammy has had too many concussions. The Packers 2016 are toast.

I'm going to enjoy my Thanksgiving dinner tomorrow, watch the Dallas-Lions game. Life goes on.

I don't think so. Lacy had his 2nd chance.

No, but he did run a 4.39 forty and had a 39" vertical, so at least he provides the speed and athleticism they will lose when Goodson gets put on IR. He also was a special teams standout in college, so he can replace Goodson there, too.

MM said the medical opinions are that neither Lacy nor Shields will be cleared this year. Apparently Lacy isn't even putting weight on his ankle yet.

It sounds like Dorleant is the only one on IR worth giving a shot. Anyone not on IR now won't be available before the end of the season anyway. Might as well give him an opportunity and see what he is.

I don't think so. Lacy had his 2nd chance.

he's, the team told him to lose a lot of weight, and we got that one sideline report during an earlier game that said, despite what was being said publicly about the huge weight loss, he had actually only lost 5 or 10 pounds.

and as PFT reported in october, whatever he did lose, he had put it all back on and he was back between 255 and 265

a far cry from the 230-235 that the team wanted him to be at this year

they gave him his second chance, and failed. plus at that weight, theys no guarantee that he could have kept up the early season success for a whole season

and now that he's been on IR, he could be in the 270-280 range, or higher

maybe he can play o-line, or NT

His second chance? How and when? He was still on his rookie contract. They might get him for a year or two relatively cheap. That shouldn't prevent them looking for someone new, but Lacy could be a nice complement, if healthy.

If they could get him cheap to be a second option at RB, why not?
We don't know that he could have kept up his early season performance, but we also don't know that he couldn't have, either.
Several said he might not have been much smaller, but he clearly was in better condition.

after is fat ass could barely run at the end of last season the team demanded that he lose a ton of weight

“I think I’m stating the obvious,” coach Mike McCarthy said last month. “His offseason last year was not good enough and he never recovered from it. I had a chance to talk to Eddie today and that was pretty much the majority of our whole conversation. So he has to get it done because he cannot play at the weight that he played at this year.”

maybe it wasn't exactly a second chance, but it was an ultimatum. his old coach saban even told M3 to bench him to force him to lose weight

and eddy failed pretty badly
