But if Lacy's fused toe holds up I'm guessing he'll get most of the carries. If he's 100% healthy isn't he likely to be comparable to a young Cedric Benson - only (I hope) better? Obviously the Packers' OL isn't a good run-blocking line but because of the threat of Rodgers' arm, although DuJuan Harris only had 34 carries in the regular season, he averaged 4.6 ypc. In the playoffs he had 100 total yards vs. the Vikings but averaged only 2.8 ypc on 17 attempts with a TD - that was his worst ypc game of his short career. Against the 9ers he had 11 attempts for a 4.8 average and a TD. Even if you put an asterisk next to the '9er game (how many rushes were after the Packers were down by 7+?) Harris' success bodes well for Lacy, Franklin and Harris again. And if they can improve run blocking just a little, there's reason to believe the rookies and Harris will do very well running the ball. </blockquote>
