RPbillsfan Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I was reviewing free agent RB's in light of the allegations against Leshon McCoy and the possibility of some type of suspension. The name that caught my eye was Eddie Lacy who is only 27 and not to much use over the last couple of years. I realize he has had weight/conditioning issues and is primarily an inside, between the tackles type but may be able to play and give the Bills a decent one-two punch with Chris Ivory. Just a thought for the board to consider. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golden Goat Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 Height/weight can be remedied. Lack of heart? Not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodneykm Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 He's still young-ish....a camp invite wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wsam4031 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 want nothing to do with this guy. He just doesn't have the heart to play anymore. He don't care he already got paid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nucci Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 How about we look at good, productive players....what is it about Lacy that makes you think he is any good? 31 minutes ago, RPbillsfan said: I was reviewing free agent RB's in light of the allegations against Leshon McCoy and the possibility of some type of suspension.

buffalover4life Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I will continue to pound the table for Orleans Darkwa. Really liked the way he ran for the giants, wondering why he hasn't been signed. He ran for 750 yards last year at 4.4 a carry with a very bad O-line 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably waiting until a back goes down in camp and trying to maximize the market. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Popinski Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 I'd sooner just play Kyle at FB than some of these ideas. Have you seen his TD/Carry ratio? It's pretty impressive. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 It’s amazing how much people love name RB. Lacy hasn’t been good in like 4 years. IF this is true, go young and cheap. The same one thing this franchise has been good at is finding rbs. 3 minutes ago, Soda Popinski said: I'd sooner just play Kyle at FB than some of these ideas. Have you seen his TD/Carry ratio?

TigerJ Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 At this point, I think Eddie Lacy is a rough equivalent of Mike Tolbert, which is to say, no thanks. Yes, he's younger, but he's consistently shown he's not willing to do what it takes to be a quality running back. Since he plays out of condition, while he still has some power, (just because he's big) he lacks any elusiveness or speed, and wears down both in games and through the season. While there are not great options left in free agency, there are better alternatives than Eddie Lacy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
