I’m fired up about Eddie. He looks great. He is rumbling and doing just what we want and he is going to run huge, just the way we like it.
Eddie's doing great. Eddie's doing great. He's done everything we've asked of him.
I know. Just thought it was hilarious, while we're sitting here arguing about weigh-ins, he's being thought of as not worthy of a fantasy start anyway. :mrgreen:pittpnthrs":1lxar86w said:sutz":1lxar86w said:An amusing sidenote.

Probably because of the sheer amount of RB's we have. We have 4 that will probably see action.

I agree, he's going to be huge.

Of course there is some area in between 2 and 4 YPC where it may not be clear if he is making a valuable contribution or not.
His weight is an extremely minor part of this, and it would appear that is the message Pete is sending by responding with "He is doing really well."

I'm trying to understand how his weight is an extremely minor part of Lacy being able to contribute. Was it lack of talent, then, that caused Green Bay to move on from him?
He ate his way out of the first stop in his career and with millions at stake in FA, limited his financial future by continuing to stuff himself. Teams don't put weight clauses in contracts for fun.
Based on his history his weight is THE concern, and will always be a concern with this guy. Even if he does manage to contribute while failing to make weight it will still be a concern, because at some poundage it will affect his performance or propensity for being injured.
Some fan saying it isn't a concern won't change this. Only putting together a good stretch of controlling his weight will change it.

Agree. His weight is a minor part of this? It's a huge part of this, and that is no pun. Maybe someone needs a visual.

And does he look anything like that this season???
He's in shape this year (at the very least in much better shape then before with GB). It's not like he's going to balloon up during the season, it's the offseason you have to worry about him getting fat.
