[QUOTE="brandon2348, post: 574488, member: 7094"] Your missing my point completely. Maybe I am not explaining it correctly. Those shotgun plays don't work 90 percent of the time unless the blocking is textbook upfront and Lacy gets to the second level because he has no momentum and he isn't gonna shake and juke a lot of guys in the backfield. I don't know what you have seen but I have seen him trying to break tackles just to get back to LOS against fast pursuing defenses in the first 4 games. My big thing is why MM kept running those types of plays in first four games over and over. I was at the Minnesota game and really liked MM's game plan and play calling other then the sweep on 3rd and short to Starks. IMO against faster front sevens with more physical D-lines that shotgun crap isn't gonna get it done when trying to establish the ground game. If teams are going to play a "cover 2 shell" against us like they did in the first four games then in the future when those challenges arise MM should bring guys in a give Lacy a lead blocker(like he did against Minnesota) and let him pound going forward. Even if the blocking is less then perfect it gives Lacy a better chance of getting some positive yards while wearing the defense down opposed to losing yards and helping kill drives. As far as 2013 I really don't care about those stats as that was a whole different situation. That is not take away from Eddy Lacy and his great year and performance but this is 2014 and a whole different situation. [/QUOTE]
