[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 503223"] How about a pounder with the potential to rack up an above average number of 20+ yard gains? It seems Lacy is intended to be TT's Steven Jackson surrogate. There are some notable similarities: Both are big (230 lbs.) and most effective between the tackles. Both are strong in the lower body, can move a pile or fall forward for yards. Both are credited for being patient runners, essential in a zone blocking scheme. Neither of these players are strictly pounders. Both are quick in the hole and show elusiveness when they get clean to the second level. While neither would be confused with CJ2K or Jamal Charles turning the corner or exploding away from the D, they both showed Combine / Pro Day speeds around 4.45, certainly fast enough to run away from LBs and safties. Coming out, Jackson was credited with better vision, and as a better receiver and pass blocker. Whether Lacy improves in these areas remains to be seen; to his credit he wasn't a feature player until last year and comes into the league light on game experience. At least he's credited with decent hands. We throw enough on 1st. and 2nd. downs that he'll need to become at least an adequate pass blocker to avoid rotational status...unless he starts cranking out 100 yd. games in which case adjustments will be made to keep him on the field (see Starks, Super Bowl run). As a runner though, and going back to the OP question, how about a little of both? [/QUOTE]
