Rawls and Procise, while having great talent, do nothing if they can't play right? I have no illusions that Lacy is going to be anything more than a lumbering 3rd down back for us. He has shown exactly squat during the pre-season. God I hope that Carson can fill the role going forward.
I don't understand why people base so much on preseason.
Last year before he hurt his ankle, Eddie Lacy averaged 5.1 ypc. Green Bay offered him a new contract, but he caught so much flak, and was ridden hard with fat jokes, that he didn't want to go back. I don't blame him.
He's a monster that nobody wants to tackle. Remember when Kam held out? Michael Bennett was saying "Kam, come back! Eddie Lacy is BIG!"
Marshawn never played in preseason, it's a good thing no one based their opinion of him on preseason...
Eddie Lacy made the Pro Bowl in his rookie year after running for 1100 plus yards. His 2nd year he ran for over 1100 yards again. That's pretty good when Aaron throws the ball so much. He's averaged 4.4 ypc in his career, while average 8.9 yards per catch.
I hope they sit Rawls too, because he's an absolute phenom when he's healthy. With the current roster, we can bring Chris Carson along slowly until he adjusts to the NFL game, then turn him loose.
