Watching Eddie rumble to a near stop on his 61 yard playoff run this is needed bad. How they couldn't get him into shape over a entire football season is beyond me.

Lacy must weight 260 or more if they want him to lose that much. Or they're "aiming high" by telling him to lose 30 in hopes he loses 20. 🙂

Lacy's ideal playing weight should be 225 lbs. Add 30 lbs to that and we get 255 lbs. If he cares about his job, he can loose that weight and get back in shape. I would recommend a place where his calorie intake would be restricted and monitored along with an exercise program. There are such places where someone with his money can afford the price they charge.

[pinkele] Work it Lacy !

Where do we get what a professional football running backs ideal weight should be from? Did anyone bitch about Jerome Bettis' weight.

I just don't quite understand where these measurements come from when we say a player must be X tall and weigh Y. Short, tall, skinny, fat, who gives a damn as long as they produce on the field?

I'm not saying Eddie Lacy shouldn't shed some weight. We all watched that 61 yard brisk walk/jog in the playoff game. Eddie Lacy is is determined to get into better physical shape and that might be 240 or 220 and not a single damn one of us has any place to bitch about it, unless we know unequivocally it's the source of his failure to perform on the field.

The Packers liked what they saw when he was 230ish after college, at the combine, etc. so I highly doubt it's some universal ideal weight. Rather, it's the weight the Packers thought they were drafting.

Maybe they would of bitched about his weight if the Pittsburgh Oline run blocked like we do.

Just curious, what does Eddie weigh currently?

---

I don't know what Lacy weighs or what his ideal weight is, but what he's at now doesn't seem to be ideal.
