    Eddie Lacy

    I saw an article, and forgot to note which one it was, that said the Packers aren't really counting on Lacy being back this season. Possibly for the playoffs, but not likely.

    He may have played his last game for the Packers.

    the guy spent the whole offseason "getting in shape", and only lost 5 pounds or so

    which he's gained it all back during the season while working out everyday

    can you imagine how fat and out of shape he's gonna be after doing nothing but eating on IR for a couple months?

      Back in the day, players didn't feel the need to look all chiseled or whatever, and they played just as good and it seems, at least, got injured less. Maybe Lacy is a throwback to that.

      Anyway, I like the Packers offense better without Lacy. When he was there, damn McCarthy forced a run-first style and took the ball out of Aaron Rodgers' hands way too much. If they would have the good sense to pass-first and run the style they do now with Montgomery with Lacy playing (assuming our receivers could ever beat man coverage), then things might be better, but that would be expecting good sense from McCarthy, so I doubt it would happen.
      What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?

        Lacy can be a good player and help this team. He is making a little over $1M in the last year of his contract. Are we that worried about his future health and ability to not consider offering him a contract? Perhaps he and his agent would not accept an incentive laden deal. Our cupboard is bare in terms of RB's if Lacy leaves. We will be forced to the draft or free agency.

        What is he worth on the open market?

          Two years ago, Lacy was positioned to receive a nice contract. I'm not sure a long term deal will be easy for him to get after the past two years. He played well this year, ran as well as he ever has, but there has always been an injury concern with Lacy. Missing almost 3/4 of the season will be a red flag for many teams.

            Fat boy can't lose weight or stay motivated I'm a contract year why the hell would we pay him?
            Swede: My expertise in this area is extensive. The essential difference between a "battleship" and an "aircraft carrier" is that an aircraft carrier requires five direct hits to sink, but it takes only four direct hits to sink a battleship.

              Big fan of Dalvin Cook from FSU. Has plenty of speed and agility with a decent amount of power. Just draft him and let Lacy go or bring him back as a secondary back.

                that sounds like something uttered/written/posted just to generate clicks/mentions/hashtags/comments/chatter/posts. not that tt has been brilliant this season or anything but they'd be stupid not to bring him back as soon as medically possible.

                  LaGarrette Blount has played in 8 games, gets 3.8 yds/carry and has scored 9 TD's.

                  Eddie Lacy has played in 5 games, gets 5.1 yds/carry and has scored 0 TD's.

                  What does it all mean???
                  One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

                    AR likes to pad his stats with short TD passes?
                    Green Bay has an anemic plan for short yardage?
                    MM talks "run, run run" but rarely follows through?

                      I seem to remember Blount was a FA a few years back and out of favor, kind of a problem child. Hoody picked him up for a song. It would be ironic if the same thing happened to Lacy.

                        To quote myself, "Starks and Lacy can't gain a yard when a yard is needed to save Tyrion Lannister's life, and everyone knows run is a-coming."

                        In other words, Starks and Lacy are Hades-awful short-yardage backs. They're slow hitting the hole, allowing defenders time to penetrate the a, b, c, d and e gaps. And to quote myself, "Action Jackson would make a great short-yardage back. Dude's fast and furious at hitting holes for positive yardages. Sometimes patience is needed to hit a home run, but in short yardage situations, just dash hard toward the LOS and fall forward, yo!"

                          At 4-4 and going nowhere, I say tank the season to draft Leo Fournette. Dude looks like he's gonna be the 2nd coming of the Switch Hitter.
