Lacy totally ran over the Redskins and Cardinals in the playoffs last year. I also think the era of dominate RB's that the franchise is built around is a thing of the past....The college game is still as much about punishing running attacks that set up the pass as the other way around mainly because IMO the physical mismatches are easier to exploit in college.
Pretty sure that statistically speaking this is correct. However I am also pretty sure KT fumbled on more than one occasion but we ended up with the ball because it was fumbled out of bounds or another gator recovered. Love KT but he wasn't perfect.
Lord, I really don't try to disagree with everything Crete says, but good grief man. Lacy played like absolute trash all year, was benched or 2nd string for most of it, was in trouble with the coaches for half the season for being fat and lazy. And as far as the playoff games, he was serviceable against the skins. He was embarrassing against the cardinals. Your entire post was based off one run late in the game where he spun off a few guys and then had daylight to run to. He then lumbered like a fullback with a bum knee for about 25 yards, ran out of gas, damn near collapsed on the 20 yard line from exhaustion, then got tackled. Any other player on the team would have scored in that situation. He was benched after the play bc the coaches were pissed. Christ man even the announcers were talking about what a fat lazy tard he'd become. He was given an ultimatum after that game by the staff to shape up or he'd be cut.
I guess I'm envious of all the titles the slow fat guys are helping them win....I don't watch a ton of NFL games but Lacy's stats look typical of most starting RB's around the league. He rushes for about 700-800 yards a season at over 4 yards per carry.I'd love for Thompson's 2 years here to be like Lacy's last 2 years with Bama.
Agree about Hilliard, he was pretty decent throughout his entire career.
As Dougie already stated, he has a bit over 3k yards in 3 years, most of those yards came in year 1 and 2, before he became a fat lardass. I do watch a lot of NFL, and Green Bay is my team, and he sucked balls last year. James Starks, the #2 guy was a better player last year. And he's small, thin, shifty and quick.
It would be interesting to see how well Bama's offensive linemen have panned out in the NFL over the last 6-7 years seeing how they were largely responsible for these guys success in college. Still just to be an average RB in the NFL these days is saying something. I hope UF starts a string of producing even average NFL backs over the next decade as well as NFL caliber offensive linemen.
I'm just using the fact that if a guy makes it to the NFL he was probably pretty good in college. I root for the Packers whenever they play but I'm not a diehard fan of any NFL team. From what I've seen of Lacy he's had a decent career but was off last year. Maybe he had a nagging injury that caused him to be off last year or maybe he's just a fat lazy slob....only time will tell but I wouldn't kick him to the curb because a lot of NFL players have off years and come back strong.
