[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 709882, member: 7261"] I think Lacy showed motivation last year, his contract year, maybe just not enough. He did get himself into playing shape, but lost sight of that at some point and appeared to regain weight. But to say he wasn't having a good season would be wearing blinders, his numbers were pretty good before the injury. Some want to blame the injury on his extra weight, but I would also put some of that blame on the Packers for not having an effective 2nd RB or even a 3rd running back and over relying on Lacy when his ankle was already giving him problems. I also get tired of hearing people say "Lacy is so out of shape that he can't be relied on to be out there all the time." How many backs in the NFL and even college, with his pounding running style are 3 down backs for a full game? Teams are platooning RB's in and out all the time now, keeps them fresh and not so winded. I don't ever expect Lacy to be a 25+ carry guy. Could Lacy loose some weight, maintain that weight and improve his conditioning to be an even better back? Of course he can and should, if he wants more money. But right now, the Packers are faced with the decision of do they want a guy that has a hell of a lot of potential and is working on his motivation, at a pretty low price or do they take their chances with Monty and whoever else they can assemble behind him?
