Lacy seemed out of sorts; he wasn’t as nimble on his feet and, well, he just seemed slow and … fat.
Though he had a surge mid-season with three 100-yard games, he wasn’t the same old Eddie Lacy. When backup running back James Starks entered games, he seemed like lightning compared to Lacy.
Sure, they are different types of running backs, but Lacy wasn’t hitting the holes like he had in the past, wasn’t powering through tackles and had problems hanging onto the ball.
