Maynard posted:He was also playing against college-level competition at that weight. A little different in the NFL.
He was also running behind an OL that eventually had 6 guys drafted into the NFL on the two deep depth chart. Two high first round picks, a second rounder, and a fourth rounder were 4 of the 5 starters. Lacy has talent, but when you don't get hit until you've gotten up a head of steam, it makes a difference. It's like being a Wisconsin RB running behind all of the future NFL lineman they've had over the last 20 years.

4 of 5 OL starters were high to mid draft picks
OT C. Kouandjio 2nd round (2014)
OT Fluker 1st round - 11th pick (2013)
OG Warmack 1st round - 10th pick (2013)
C Barrett Jones 4th round (2013)
2 Reserve OL draft picks
OG A. Kouandjio 4th round (2014)
OT Shepard 7th round (2015)
My point is it is two completely different levels of competition. Of course his college highlights are going to look better than what he did in the pros, regardless of weight. He also wasn't facing NFL level defenders in those games. Apples and oranges.
OK, how about this from his rookie year, any difference to now?
You win. Eddie is fat and sucks. There, now I fit in with everyone else.
yeah, all I'm hearing is blah blah blah. how's about we just see how he does this year, aye?
Never said he sucks, said he was going to have a productive year, guy is a talent with great feet who runs hard, just would be better carrying less body fat.
Again, who cares if he's 260, 250, 230 lbs. The obsession over his weight is ridiculous. If he runs for 1,000+ yards and 10 TDs then the whole argument about him being less effective at a higher weight means nothing.
I guess it is just the coach in me, bothers me that we've had so many guys "retool" their bodies for improved performance (R. Rodgers, AR, Barrington, Cobb), but Eddie just does not seem capable of doing it

Eddie's Retooling Rating is pretty low. His Belly Fire Index is high though, especially after the Thai food he ate.

Let me be perfectly clear
Phat Eddie
he'll always be the Bowling Ball to me.
Cons of Thick Dreadlocks
- Do not work well on thin hair if you desire to have fullness. So, if you have medium density hair and do thick locs, you will not have as full a head of hair as you might desire. (more dense, more weight)
- Thick locs can take a very long time to dry in comparison to its thinner counterparts. Air drying mature locs, especially in colder climates, can cause mildew. So, you will probably have to use a bonnet dryer or blow dryer to prevent wet-space-friendly bacteria from festering in your lovely locs. (wet hair, heavier hair - water weight)
- Thick dreads tend to hold more dirt and build-up. You have to spend more time washing them and maybe wash more regularly to keep them clean. (more dirt/more buildup - more weight)
I am confused as to why anyone would expect to see speed/explosiveness from Lacy

I know it's Prisco, but it highlights the trend of more speed over size on the defensive side of the ball. Even the Packers are considering this with Burnett from what we've read/heard from this camp.
They'll catch Phat Eddie™, but have a tough time bringing him down.
Glass is half full:
Lacy remains and has actually improved in his blocking and if you want a bright side to having a big back, this is one.
In December, and hopefully we get to play football when it matters in January, few defenses will be interested in bringing down Phat Eddie™. Cold, snow, wind and him running at you in the 3rd-4th Q, that will get real old real fast for defenses.
Screen, screen, screen. He's proven to be a decent receiving back and this is an area where he can get a head of steam and go bowling.
The OL: If the starters remain relatively intact, the holes/lanes they create...it may not matter who's back there. In both the Cleveland and SF games, starters opened up holes so big Lacy, Honey Boo Boo and her Ma could have ALL strolled hand-in-hand down the field.

I get it - like Phat Albert - only Phat Eddie. I think that fits best.

I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, but I've always thought Lacy's role was to be more of a bruiser and less a cut-and-run back. IOW, he will run over a defender rather than around him. And he was generally thought of as having good speed for his size.
As his role evolved, I think the team wanted him to add bulk, but it just went too far last year. Ideally, he should play around 235-240, but over 240 starts having too big of a net effect on his performance.
In any case, I don't think the focus has ever been on making him faster; it's been more reading blocks, making cuts, and other improvements to his basic responsibilities.

Except in the case of the long TD run that wasn't against the Cards last season. I believe the feeling was, if he was as fast as he had been in the previous seasons, he would not have been caught.

That doesn't look like Eddie.

It has to be something with China Food. I've said it so much this past summer, I'm starting to forget that people don't usually use that phrase.
