Get complete game-by-game stats for running back Eddie Lacy on ESPN. The window is most certainly NOT closing. The biggest question mark facing the Packers offense going into 2016 is the weight of their starting RB. GB has the 5th youngest starting 22 and 3rd youngest team overall. We take you through the 2016 Madden Bowl featuring Washington Redskins TE Jordan Reed, Kansas City Chiefs S Eric Berry, Atlanta Falcons RB Devonta Freeman, and Green Bay Packers RB Eddie Lacy. Over three years, unquestionably, Fat Elvis has performed as well, or better, than Skinny Elvis, and at a fraction of the cost. All that weight isn’t doing anyone any good in the shape that it’s in.He can still be effective as a big back, but he needs to lose some weight and just get in shape, and then the Packers need to feed him the football and not the China food.I’m so sick of this Lacy weight issue. From where we were sitting, I could see the look on his face as he turned around, looking for someone to tackle him because he was too out of shape to run any further. He’s supposed to be a professional athlete,We can’t tell models/actresses that they are starting to look a little thick, but we can make it a headline during Superbowl week that Lacy is 30+ bigger than his boss wants him to be.If he weighs more than the Packers are saying, the Packers are cheating. Maybe Ironhead Heyward. First time I heard that (probably last summer) I laughed my butt off. GB fans are so spoiled. At the rate he is going, he will be lucky to beat the single year rushing record if you combine 3 years for him!Keep in mind though, even if his weight is North of 260, he is still 40lbs less than the avg Packer Fan who is screaming for more cheese curds and a beer!! So far, however, he’s only had one ineffective season due to his weight.Stark is actually a better back than lacy, if he could learn how to hang on to the ball and Crockett looks to have some skills. Which running back has rushed for over 400 yards in the postseason in those same three years, and which rushed for 25? Have you seen the people at the Mall of America or the Minnesota State Fair? Maybe Ironhead Heyward. He blew up the, which PFT posted a side-by-side picture. I was thinking the Packers might cancel their 2017 Super Bowl Victory Party held on July 15 2016I can think of two, maybe 3 RBs in the history of the league who were effective at 260 or higher. And Tretter is a great 6th man.Regarding WR – Any team missing their 1500 yard, 14 TD WR is going to suffer. ?As a Packer fan I love the Feastmode nickname. NFL Seattle Seahawks Running Back. I don’t know if Lacy will lose the weight or not however at this point I believe the Packers were right to go public (nuclear) about the issue.Too funny. Maybe they could’ve jelled more effectively in 2015 if he hadn’t gotten himself suspended. Their best offensive player is on the wrong side of 30 at a position that historically ages very poorly. Lacy can lose the weight, if he chooses to. All this proves that it’s going to be right back to being a super bowl favorite for GB again next year. Even with the added weight, the Packers got nearly the same rushing results from the #1 RB position as compared between the Vikings and the Packers, over a three year period. Working against him is the fact that he is playing the most replaceable position in football – running back – he better shape up or ship outIf they truly wanted him to lose some weight, they’d keep this in house.Another Bama RB – post-Trent Richardson – with entitlement issues.“In 2015, he again brushed off reports that he was overweight, but the Packers grew frustrated as Lacy had career lows in carries (187), yards (758), yards per carry (4.05), touchdowns (three), catches (20) and receiving yards (188)”I love the we’re expected to believe that they called plays in which to hand the ball off to Eddie and he was like “no no no, I don’t want any more carries today”.And calling it a “career low” in YPC is pretty disingenuous, it is basically a ‘tie’ with his career worst of 4.1 YPC his rookie year. If it doesn’t work the first 10 times, keep trying.few days away from the SB and you guys are concerned with lacy’s weight… not to mention at 260 he probably is still faster then 90% of the people viewing this page right now.260 is less than your average cheesehead but still too big for an NFL RB.I would say stick a fork in him he is done based on his past effort and despite the Packer’s brilliant plan of motivation through public fat shaming.I will be shocked if he comes into camp at 231 ish. Jordy will be back and still in his prime for a handful more years next year. Zero class from McCarthy on that one. Yes.
Muscle weighs more than fat, just ask Bill Belichick.I dunno… it was pretty entertaining that last game when he broke out for a sure TD then watching him run out of gas like he was a 360lb nose tackle on his first INT trying to make a pick 6 happen and blowing itLet him gain about 10 more pounds and try him at NT.
