He is not in good enough physical condition to carry it that much every game. In addition he is limited in the passing game because of his increased size. This is something that LeRoy Butler has harping on going back to Lacy's second season.

Call me racist, but at Milwaukee Riverside when we saw a black guy in the pool, we looked for a life-saving ring to toss him.
and why is that? Is there something about the physical make-up of black Americans that make them lack buoyancy? I don't know, but it is a common occurence.
A few friends of mine in college would not get in the water at all. I'm not a big swimmer either....but it is good exercise and feels good on a hot humid day. So, there has to be something to it. I wonder if there has been a study done on it?
In 2013, 2014, 2015 the Packers averaged 27.68514 running plays per game
They prefer an up-tempo offense, which precludes the defense from subbing
So the Packers will sub at RB for an entire series instead of down-by-down and if the sub-drive is successful, that takes many carries away from Lacy.
The Ultimate Decider for every play wears number 12 - and sometimes he goes with the called run, other times he opts to throw the ball.
So when somebody opines the Packers aren't using Lacy correctly, what they are really telling us is that they know better than Aaron what plays should be run.
How cool is that ? 
I mean. It's racist. But you're actively trying to save lives. But you didn't dive in personally. Unless you were looking to toss in a life saving diamond ring.
You are a tough read Kiel.
These are the same people who think all the ex-Badger RBs have been misused in the NFL.

Yes and no....
The biggest factor in Eddie not getting more carries is Eddie.
Players, not plays.

Classic scene, great movie, Chilli. Love that Pesci.

And these same people don't take into account that Badgers RBs have probably run behind more NFL level offensive lineman than anyone in the country over the last 25 years.
Per the article MJ posted:
“I messed up my deltoid and widened the bone on my ankle, so I had to get two screws, two wires and a plate to fix it because I messed up my deltoid ligament,” Lacy said. “That’s the longest thing to heal.”
Man that was one messed up ankle, 4-6 month recovery and now after 4 months Lacy MAY be able to resume regular running soon, but by end of April for sure.
Maybe our resident docs can shed some light on what 2 screws, 2 wires and a plate in the ankle means long term?
Edit: This You Tube video may be what Eddie went through, or something similar to it.

Thanks for posting this, greatly appreciated
On the subject of African/Americans as "swimmers", I have been told by an anthropologist that younger people of that decent often have a more robust bone structure and less body fat. This makes it harder to "float" and therefor swim. This is only for those who have little or no Caucasian background in their bloodline.
Culturally this seems to be a pattern that is reinforced in their communities.
I could be (very) wrong and this was based on my conversation with that individual some time ago.
Maybe M Hyde has some input.
Floating is (essentially) stationary. Swimming is moving. They are different.
You never saw my 100 backstroke time in high school.
Floating was similar.
Hard to float when you're carrying a **** load of swimming medals.
That was after the La La Land Olympics, right?
And lemme say, none of the sisters at Milwaukee Riverside in 1978 were that hot. That's prom material right there.
Lotta ginger going on here. And a huge effing bow tie. Scene stealing bow tie. **** that bow tie is massive.
Is it true what they say? The bigger the bow tie the bigger the.....or is the other way....male compensation syndrome...you know, you see a big jacked up truck and out comes this 5 foot tall dude.

AA lack of swimming is attributed to the same thing that makes them under represented in the MLB.
Access.
And in Ricky Weeks case, inability to lay off the slider that's two feet outside.

LOL. First of all, I can't float at all. I don't know how many black folks cannot float in water, but I can't. I'm also not a great swimmer, although I can swim, just didn't spend much time practicing. My father however, grew up in a West African river town where the kids spent much of their free time playing in the river. He was a great swimmer.

You mean the bottom of Africa's rivers aren't populated with a bunch of local sinkers?
Was the anthropologist researching eugenics?
No, Ebonics.
It's not racist if it's common knowledge dude.
Any way...

Now having Tarzan swim so much in those old movies makes so much more sense.
Swimming? You either float or you don't. Where's the ikkkon to weigh in on this subject?

See, Kiel made me a racist. It's almost like I'm blaming him for my mistake when I should take personal responsibility for my failed raid comment. I must be a cosmic sh*theel.
Why accept the blame when you can simply pass it on to some dago?
