Lacy.jpg You have insufficient rights to see the content.

From Rob Demovsky a few minutes ago. I dunno...he still looks a little bulbous.

This guy's body is under more of a microscope than a supermodel. He looks a lot slimmer, as long as he can move I'm not super worried.

It may be the angle, and this guy will likely never have a 6 pack. You're right he's scrutinized A LOT to the point that M.M. said to stop asking questions about it in his presser this morning.

That said, I think it's fair and obvious why he's being scrutinized.

He is a big human being... he will always be a big human being. Some of us, no matter the effort put in, with not have a 6 pack or look truly ripped. Even in my younger days with a low body fat ratio... I looked bulbous... genetics.

Time will soon tell if his conditioning is there or not... a pic will not tell us that.

I get the debate... I do... but I don't get the obsession upon the topic.

Well....I DO get the obsession in it. The guy could be a HUGE key to how well the offense plays this year. If Lacy is strong and can get 4.5 to 5 yards a carry, that opens up the passing game.
If he's like he was last year, the defense can just explode on Rodgers.
A agree that he will never be a "small" man. Just be like he was 2 years ago, and it will be great.

I want a big punishing running back, but he needs to not get winded immediately. This is about proper conditioning and endurance as well as strength and power.

How svelte does Richard Rodgers look?

It should be plain to see that Lacy, as well as many others have arrived at the 2016 TC in better shape than last season. In addition , most of us know that NFL players work on their fitness during the off-season or they will loose their job to those that have been working.

There will be during this TC setbacks and disappointments , but I'm looking for the step-ups and the victory's ! People like to point out the dirty laundry , it takes the focus off their own.

If we help to lift up our comments and try to be more understanding of others that ( for the most part ) are doing their best to succeed, we succeed in being better fans ourselves.

Yes, it is easier to complain about this or that , than it is to report something good . Let us all try to see the glass as half full instead of seeing it as half empty !

The guy will never be Eddie George in terms of physique. Thankfully for him guys like The Bus and Emmitt Smith had pretty good NFL careers in spite of their less than desirable body type.

Honestly, the guy could look like Raji for all I care... my concerns are how well does he move, and is he still physically tough as ever? I was worried that if he changed his body too much, and lost too much weight, then he'd lose some of that toughness/dealing with all the blows to his body. So I'm fine with him keeping some of that weight... but he also need to regain some of that quickness and speed he had at a lighter weight.

Though to be honest, I don't feel sorry for MM... after all he's the one that went public with the issue (and maybe rightfully or maybe wrongfully so), but it's only fair the public (or reporters in this case) come back at him.

As for Lacy, I have been thinking those pictures they've released over the offseason always had him at good angles or very loose clothing where you really could not see anything, and now that he's in his tight jersey, he looks different.
