“I don’t know,” McCarthy said when asked if Lacy still had work to do. “Eddie will be fine. I believe he’ll hit the target that we’re looking for when the lights come on.”

Based on what Eddie has said, he knows this and is responding accordingly.

I think he will be fine.
I see Lacy as a big part of the offense this year. I think he will have huge numbers.

Ron Dayne's advice for Packers' Eddie Lacy 

“He’s not comfortable being [that big of] a back. Coming out of college, he was what, 230? 225? And then you get to 260, 270, and all of a sudden your body’s not used to that unless you’re used to carrying that all the time,” Dayne explained. “Looking at him and his first couple years he played, he was about at his playing weight coming out of college."

When these “targets” are typically given; it is never about weight and weight alone and there are usually intermediate target dates given.

I suspect Lacy was given targets for 3-4-5 dates certain or perhaps by event [EG we want you here at draft; here at OTA’s; here at start of T-Camp; here at start of Preseason; here at start of season; here at 6 games in; etc.].

Also the targets are more about BMI-type and % body fat measurements, not just weight. Let’s say the somewhat rolly-polly Lacy [as opposed to Feast-mode Lacy in yr 3] had an optimum effective weight in yr 2 at 225; but if he puts on a ton of muscle [w/o losing flexibility], reduces his % of body fat, his optimum effective weight might be 230, 235 or 240. So the targets set by GB might be for Lacy to be at 220-225 with this fat density/BMI-type measurement; 230-235 at this fat density/BMI-type measurement, etc.

Also undoubtedly they did major blood work and other tests and gave Lacy targets for his triglycerides; blood pressure; magnesium levels; % of white to red muscle fiber; hydration levels, vitamin D levels; etc.; in addition to the BMI type targets.

So, right now Mike McCarthy doesn’t know [no one knows] if Lacy will hit all his critical targets. The most important thing is that Lacy played his way into shape in years 1-3 after off-seasons of corpulence; and this year it looks like he’s coming into camp in shape. The only question that remains: has Lacy undergone an Al Roker-like lifestyle change or will he return to old habits and balloon back up after signing the big deal?

Yeah, who cares about weight. Waist size, flexibility, and percent body fat are better measurements. The weight could be high, but if his flexibility increases and % body fat increases, that's a great net-gain, imo.
