Im not going to pull punches here. Im a die hard GB fan. 365.25. I had high hopes for GBs running game in the past couple decades. And Im a firm believer that a great passing game is a runningbacks wet dream. Facing spread offenses like Emmitt Smith, instead of a wall of defenders like Barry Sanders or AP. GB running backs have had a top pass offense ..............?forever?
I look at the two real shining moments in our running attack in the last two decades. Batmans 1800 yd year. And Grants 900yds in 9 games in his grand entrance into the hallowed halls of LAMBEAU FIELD........ Both an instance of a good RB, playing his best football of his career. and having Favre ON FIRE!!!!!!! with defenders literally scared of what he is going to do to them... "please don't embarrass us too bad Mr. Favre"..............
We havnt had a blue chip RB yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Don't get me wrong. Green was good. Alex Green is a great prospect. Starks too. Davenport had huge potential until his ankle broke. Fischer. But then you look at a list of 7th rounders and waiver wire guys... Never have we went and got "The Man". Big. Strong. Jukey, and faster than you'd expect. Like "burner", who I rallied for 3 years to trade for. A RB that makes CBs and Safetys question their career choice. Bull over a LB, then run right past him the next play. We never had that guy.
Davenport could've been that guy but he broke his ankle in his first game in the spot light. We picked up Benson, and all of a sudden you get it!!! A great RB makes a difference. Even though Benson was kinda rode hard and put away wet by da bearz and bungles, he was better than what we had IN A LONG TIME!!! The stats don't completely tell the story. But the difference was very apparent to me. Down goes Benson. ugh. Where did Starks go??? Then we depend on the 2nd year rookie coming off an ACL?!?! Damn it this is GREENBAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not GD Arizona or something!!! Jeeeeeesus Christ!!!
That is what Ron Wolfe must've texted Thompson. Because Thompson, in his own Meizer way, went out and got him some. Surely a lot of Favors were called into the football gods. But Thompson got dibs on Lacy!!!
Lacy is going to enter the season in a battle for touches. But by the end, I think Lacy is going to bring the smackdown on the NFL. With an elite passing game to spread the field. a O-line that seems to be consolidating and growing into their shoes. And FINALLY a RB that can make a defense pay!!! Arm tackles will no longer take our RB down. Holes will form that we never seen before. Lacy will become their worst nightmare! Greenbay fans will be asking "WHY didn't we do that 20 damn years ago, and every 5 -10 years since???
