With an increased focus on the running game, and no real competition on the depth chart for even the third-down role, Lacy figures to have his most productive season yet in 2015.Ī speedy, yet powerful runner at 5-11 and 230, Lacy's final numbers last season were depressed by a concussion that essentially cost him two games. The Packers' reputation as a pass-heavy offense began to shift in 2014 as the team tried to save some wear and tear on Aaron Rodgers, ranking 22nd in pass-play percentage, down from 11th the year before. He was just as elusive in the open field, averaging 10.9 yards after the catch (3rd) to finish sixth in receiving yards among running backs.
The combination helped him finish second in yards after contact and third in broken tackles. He runs with power and a low pad level, but also has surprising agility and athleticism, allowing him to break through arm tackles and dance around (or even over) unprepared defenders. A prototypical power back at 5-11, 230, Lacy has patience and burst through the hole, but it's the sheer difficulty in bringing him down that's his standout skill.
Eddie lacy full#
Lacy's second season in the NFL built well on his rookie success, as he improved his efficiency, saw more targets and stayed on the field for a full 16 games. Look for a notable bounce back, and enjoy the moderate discount. We're all for putting a carrot in front of Lacy -so long as there isn't a big old bowl of ranch dip to the side. Laugh all you want at the "best shape of his life" meme, but Lacy is someone who desperately needs to play at a lighter weight. At press time, the Packers were delighted that Lacy apparently dropped 15 or more pounds in the offseason. Lacy didn't take the league by storm in the second half, but he improved: 4.3 YPC, three scores, 546 total yards. And the entire offense seemed to hit a hiccup without Jordy Nelson. To be fair to Lacy, he wasn't the only Green Bay skill player who struggled last year. Through his first eight games, he was sitting on 400 total yards, two scores and 3.7 YPA.
Although no one knows for sure, Lacy was suspected to be playing in the 250-260 pound range, and he looked the part on tape. 6 overall back in basic scoring for his first two years in the league, but he tumbled out of the top 20 last year - undone by an unfit body. Eddie, are you OK? Are you okay? Are you OK, Eddie? OK, let's cut to the chase -how's the health, Eddie? Where's the waistline at? Lacy finished as the No.
