I'm not very clear what you're arguing about at this point, but to say Lacy was used prudently down the stretch is foolish.  It doesn't take a medical degree to recognize that we piled a lot of mileage on him last year, especially at the end of the season, that probably should have been siphoned off to other ball carriers (319 total touches!).  He's going to have a short career at this pace.</blockquote>
