Boilermaker04 11 Posted January 10, 2016 The answer, even without photos, is yes. Not only weight, but his cardio seems lacking now that he is healthy. He's winded after 1 good run, limiting options for a sustained drive without switching personnel. Starks looks way better, when in reality he's a drop off in talent. Maybe Lacy has been saving himself for the post season...? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGotWorms 3,323 Posted January 10, 2016 Seems to be to be a general attitude issue, he just doesn't care enough or isn't motivated enough. So he's missing curfew, gaining weight, not training properly, etc. Probably toking up too much, is my guess. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

weepaws 2,469 Posted January 10, 2016 No question Lacy has been talking to his coach about eating . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jgcrawfish 232 Posted January 11, 2016 I'm going to contrast him to LeVeon Bell. Bell's first season he wasn't successful and believed he was too heavy and slow. He rededicated himself, dropped the fat and put on lean muscle, but lost nearly 20 lbs in the process. He's been potentially the best back in football since then (not the most durable...but they aren't really related). Lacy is carrying WAY too many extra pounds and it shows in his performance. Every time I watch the Packers play I see Starks as the better and more explosive player, and he isn't all that good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,469 Posted January 11, 2016 Will Lacy is no Bettis , so he better get himself into shape because I agree with the above post that Starks looks like the better player and we all know he isn't . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bettis was never a speed guy, and even when he was Fat Jerome the guy still had amazingly nimble feet. He was somehow always light on his feet. Lacy has lost the wiggle and replaced it with jiggle.

e-factor 13 Posted January 12, 2016 When I was doing some mock drafts this past summer espn had Lacy ranked as the number one draft pick , them espn experts are asleep at the wheel . So was I. Heavily invested in Lacy this year. Didn't read anything in preseason that alarmed me about his weight and didn't see any preseason games. When I watched the opener, I had a WTF moment. Couldn't believe my eyes how fat he was. Guess there's a reason to check out a preseason game here and there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DaBeerz 88 Posted January 12, 2016 He looks fat and slow. Remember fatboy Antowain Smith how he used to come into camp like 20 pounds overweight? Who was that other fatass RB that Tenessee had for a while, remember him, Lendale "LandWhale" White or something? He looks like he hammered down on burgers on the sideline and his gut would hang out of his shirt. Lacy doesn't stay in shape, he's fat not muscular. Fat RB don't last long in the league as a starter. Unless your name is Bettis, but even Bettis was 3 yards and a cloud of dust for years and years. If not for fast willie parker the Steelers would never have won that superbowl. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Allright, allright steeler fan calm down. Bettis was good that's what I was saying in a sideways way. He had quick feet for a big guy. He's HOF, nobody disputes that. I'm saying he's the exception not the rule. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Smileseers 54 Posted January 12, 2016 Both Lacy and Bettis are both 5'11. Bettis listed playing weight was 251 lbs. Lacy looks to me to be less than that but far above his listed weight of 234. Lacy too has quick feet, but he sure doesn't finish runs the way Jerome used to. I think Lacy has been banged up since last season and put on some extra pounds. He's played thru several injuries this year. Next season I would expect him to come in slimmer and in better shape. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had two great years and one down year. He was clearly hurt this year, he will bounce back next year. Doug Martin had a down year with injuries, people forgot about him... now look.

I wonder how much this will drop Lacy in FF drafts next year? If he comes back in hella good shape after the offseason, is he still a first rounder off the board in most leagues?
