[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 710074"] Unfortunately for Lacy the Packers prefer not to substitute during drives more than most other teams in the league. Therefore having a running back not capable of staying on the field for 10+ consecutive plays puts the team at a disadvantage. While I don't expect a Packers running back to consistently get 20 or more carries a game you have to realize that players at the position have to be at least decent in pass protection as well. Lacy being out of shape doesn't help in that regard either. I've been told by you and several other posters that using hindsight to criticize Thompson isn't fair, therefore I suggest you shouldn't use it to defend his moves either. While the Packers might have counted on Cobb and Montgomery to occasionally carry the ball the front office for sure didn't expect Ty to end up being a decent #1 running back. There's no doubt it was a mistake having only two RBs on the roster in week 1 and a terrible decision to enter the Cowboys game with Lacy battling an ankle injury as the only active one. Thompson got lucky that Monty bailed him out. Jackson was an undrafted rookie out of Nevada last season. Therefore I have no idea which previous experience you're talking about. [/QUOTE]
