Why is Packers running back Eddie Lacy playing so badly? Some people say his ankle is bothering him. Others say he's overweight. Lacy says neither of those is the case. Shortly after coach Mike McCarthy announced that James Starks has been promoted above Lacy on the depth chart, Lacy told reporters in Green Bay that...

He could easily drop 20 lbs and increase his agility and speed and still be a big back. One of the problems plaguing the Packers is sloth. These guys are suppose to be professional athletes, and we have too many guys overweight.

If you believe the guys that study film, they say he doesn't seem to as mentally sharp in recognizing the cut back lanes. If it is indeed a mental issue, then I think we should see the old Eddie Lacy very soon.

It might of just been me watching Lacy and trying to figure out what he's doing differently, but to me, it looked like he was attempting to avoid contact much more than normal, where before he'd attempt to avoid it at first but once corner he'd initiate the contact and use his body to hit a defender and try to run over/past them. Where now, it's almost all avoid and not really initiating contact to hit and run over people...

Anyone remember John Brockington?

Was definition of a big, punishing runner. First three years he was dominant. Then....quickly fell off. Knees didn't come as high, too many jukes, fewer and fewer broken tackles/running over people.

Not saying it is this, but Lacy *is* the kind of runner that tends to have a shorter shelf life even by the short-career standards of RBs.

The pictures of Lacy in then and now. Yes he is fat. And it is impacting his performance.

Lacy is fat and needs to play better. But the offensive line is a bigger issue. They HAVE to play better for the Packers to have any chance at a Super Bowl. Eddie Lacy isn't absolutely necessary.

If you look at video of him during the BCS Championship game, then his OROY campaign, and even last year, and compare it to this season, it's obvious he is carrying about 15-20 lbs too much. It hasn't helped his conditioning that he's had lower leg injuries. He better not pull the same thing next year and expect to be able to work his way into shape over the summer and early Fall.
