Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 573187">I disagree with these critiques of Lacy.Start with the first play of the game where Rodgers gets blown back into Lacy's face in the cutback hole.  So, start with the fact we don't have a TE who can run block.Further, if anybody was wondering why there were gaping holes in Chicago's zone for Rodgers to throw into all day, it was because Briggs and Bostick were playing 3-4 yds off the line of scrimmage all day and biting on play action.  While this offense might struggle against a 7 man cover 2, Rodgers will dine all day on 5 men dropping.It was evident stopping Lacy was a Bears game plan priority.  Starks does not, at this juncture, elicit such fear.Lastly, Starks has bad hands and is a poor blocker...he's one dimensional all day.  Since he's strictly a relief guy because of those shortcomings, and since we only ran 47 offensive plays, there wasn't much need to bring him in.The good news is Briggs and Bostick could not convert their tight box play to pass rush off the play action.  Except for the 4 holding/hands to the face calls in pass blocking, the line was outstanding...cleanest pocket on a consistent basis in a long time.  Stud:  That flu virus that bit Allen.</blockquote>
