Message: <blockquote data-quote="Heyjoe4" data-source="post: 1098015" data-attributes="member: 13032">From Pete Dougherty in the JS today:"The running game is just far too important to LaFleur’s offense for the Packers to go into the season with their current running back corps if they don’t have Jacobs."Ok, accusations of "Mr Obvious" aside, Dougherty summarizes the dilemma nicely.  And I don't trust that Lloyd will overcome his soft-tissue injuries, notably hamstrings.  He tore his ACL in college. He's had his running motion studied extensively.  I don't remember the exact words, but one conclusion was that, in recovering from the ACL tear, his running style and gait changed, and these things are at least part of why he's had so much trouble with hamstring and groin injuries.  Sadly, this all makes sense.So Lloyd can't be counted on to produce this season.  It may happen, would be a pleasant surprise if it happened - just don't count on it.And this just makes losing Wilson all the more painful.Gluten may have to swing a trade in the worst-case scenario where Jacobs is gone for even a part of the season.  I'm wondering who you all think would make an acceptable target?  Seems unlikely it's a team's #1 RB, unless there is a team looking for draft picks in a rebuild.Thoughts?  Thanks all.</blockquote>
