[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 669919"] According to the following site, Lacy's career 1 yard conversion rate is 66.7%, providing no advantage over the other options, with the running backs as a whole underperforming both Rodger's success rate (and the league average for QB sneaks which is typically over 80%): [URL]http://cheeseheadtv.com/blog/the-packers-in-short-yardage-situations[/URL] 2 yds. to go, whether 2nd. or 3rd. down, is a tweener down in Packerland which I would not consider a purely short yardage situation. Rodgers throws with enough frequency in those situations, particularly 3rd. down, that the defense cannot sell out on the run, whereas the Packers predominantly run on 3rd. or 4th. and 1. But the point of my posts is about the coach's and the runner's preference and the reasons why that 1-back preference has been abandoned in the back half of the last 2 seasons. So, to make the stats relevant to my point, we'd need to see short yardage success success rate in 1-back vs 2-back sets. Even then, with a heavy dose of Kuhn in the second half the past 2 seasons, he still wasn't on the field for half the snaps, reinforcing the conclusion that 1-back was the preference in other than short yardage situations even with an out-of-shape Lacy. Abandoning Kuhn only goes to reinforce the preference. [/QUOTE]
