Would you object if that weight was all muscle?
Not at all. Do you think it is?
Q.E.D.
Rodgers is bigger than he was as a rookie.
Matthews is bigger than he was as a rookie.
BREAKING NEWS: High school football players get bigger in college and college football players get bigger when they make the pros.
The average male peaks mentally and physically at about 25 years of age.
Emotionally at about 56... according to my wife.

Okay, bad poker face, I know. Wait, you couldn't see my face when I typed that, could you? DAMMIT!

Let me guess. You are 55?

That was last year.
Eddie looks fat in that clip
Yes, but it was a more productive fat.
Eddie looks like Chilli's avatar in that clip
If Eddie wasn't such a lard ass he would have beat that defender to the pylon, like Janis!

Nah, Goalline says its all muscle. Whatever it is I would hate to get in his way when he gets going.

What I think I think...
Eddie started the year strong then hurt his ankle in game #2.
Then had a couple solid games on the heavily taped ankle.
Then he had a bad game versus STL, against maybe the best front 7 in the league.
> Then Starks has 100+ and Eddie is fat.
Asked about Eddie's weight McCarthy says every player gets bigger during their career. Says Eddie is bigger (in this his 3rd year) than he was he was his rookie year. All the media guys take bigger to mean heavier, which in their minds means fatter.
McCarthy says the ankle is better and Eddie looks like himself.
Those Slimfast shakes not only shed pounds, but they heal muscles/tendons too! Or maybe Lacy got some of Russell Wilson's miracle water?
I would hate to get in his way if I played for the vikings.
Eddie spent some time talking to the press after practice today.
Green Bay - Packers RB Eddie Lacy insists that his weight is fine, but he noticed something else while watching video recently that may be affecting his production.
He said that he noticed that he has been running more upright than in the past.
"Watching film, I noticed I would take a hit and I would break the tackle, but I would break it sideways, which allows other people to come tackle me vs. in years past my pads would be low, so when I take the hit, I’m still moving forward," Lacy said. "It’s just getting my pads down and getting back to basics."
Lacy said he didn't know if an ankle injury he has been playing through has affected his running style or if it was something else. He has spent this week working on it, including a drill he did with the other backs in which he had to dip under a metal hurdle after making several cuts.
He said he studied two or three games and had a sense he was running too high.
"It was just a thought, like I watched film from the past few games and I thought back to how I ran in the past, so that’s pretty much it," he said. "Honestly, I have no idea (why). I didn’t even notice it. I watched film and in my mind I thought I was running the same way, but I wasn’t. I don’t know why."
Coach Mike McCarthy and offensive coordinator Edgar Bennett both said Lacy has had an excellent week of practice and has looked more like his old self...
... The third-year back is aware that many fans are speculating that he's too heavy. He said he didn't think that was the case and said if it were he would be getting fined because he has to weigh in every Friday.
"When I get on, it’s like, ‘He cool,'" Lacy said of his weigh-ins. "If I’m not, I’m pretty sure I’ll hear from the guy upstairs (GM Ted Thompson). I’ll hear from him and I’m pretty sure that’s not a conversation I’m trying to get into." ...
Earlier this week Eddie tweeted a picture of 5 cases of Chunky Soup with a thanks to Chunky for sending all those cans of BBQ Seasoned Pork.
Eddie shilling for Chunky. The irony is thicker than Split Pea.
It always comes back to pad level.
If I remember my physics correctly he should weight a bit less at altitude. Every ounce helps.
Lacy probably started running more upright to avoid concussions. Pads low, head up, gut swinging side to side.

But if he falls into a mile high lake, he will still displace the same amount of water as he would at sea level.
I'm assuming Eddie floats, cuz clearly he's a witch.

I'm much more concerned that Eddie is allowed to dip under metal hurdles.
This is no way to run a track team.
New from JS: Eddie Lacy says running, not weight, is his focus https://t.co/BN93JcOuOa #Packers

Same with this guy
From the article:
"The third-year back is aware many fans are speculating he is too heavy."
Confirming once again: JSO reads Timesfour. Also apparent: they don't get this site's sense of humor.
Way to go.
I am trying to un-see this.
This entire thread & everything in it.
Way to go & give Eddie a complex now.
#Packers RB Eddie Lacy missed time Sunday with a groin injury, and I’m told it’s just a pull. Will be monitored, but might not miss a game

No big loss. Starks should be the starter this season. I have no idea what has happened to Lacy this year. Maybe he is too fat.
Starks is an excellent #2 runningback.
The OL was considered by many to be the best in McCarthy's time in GB. Time to start the fire Campen chants.
I do think Lacy is too heavy. I would think that he would have come into year 3 in the best shape possible as he is a free agent after next year and a big year would have put pressure on the front office to put together a new deal. I don't think he would lose much power at all if he could get down to 230...even 235. LeVeon Bell took his off season conditioning seriously but Eddie seems to be fine with the status quo. At the end of the day, he's costing himself money and even a roster spot if he can't get it together.

They were great last year. AR was MVP. Eddie top 3 RB in NFC.
Fire Solari!!!

Crap.
Then, I must be a late bloomer.
I peaked at 25. Now I'm looking with both eyes all the time, better than ever!

edit: from other posts it now appears it happened during the game.
McCarthy: "They don't come much better than Eddie Lacy. There's things he's not doing as well right now, and it's my job to help him."
