thats really ironic because the reason we took eddie lacy off of our draft board is because he was a brittle bell cow (fused toe).

He is looking like Fragile Fred Taylor so far. Of course, it is super early in his career, but at the same time it is definitely not a good way to start it. Oh, and our line sucks too. Could be a long season....

Correct me if I'm wrong, but has Bell taken a snap yet?

No?

Then how the hell do you know what you have if you haven't seen him on the field yet?

Well, still a little true because it was only 4 carries. He didn't do anything on those 4 carries at all but I'm not worried about that part quite yet.

I am a bit worried over durability especially since it's a foot injury now and not the knee. (Which would have been bad enough)

not going to be too worried until it directly affects his playing time in the regular season. everyone magically becomes injury prone in the preseason, especially when theyre likely starters in waiting. This is the time of year that people are prudent about even the slightest possibility of anything serious

we don't know that bell couldn't return because of the injury, it is possible tomlin saw him roll an ankle or something and said we are not gonna put you back you in. Bell was on the bench in his pads that's not typical of a player who was injured.

a little to soon for me to be comfortable calling someone a wasted pick , but there is a reason for concern on durability ...

he was visibly limping , that being said it has been tabbed as a mid foot sprain , that could be very minor or severe when they first happen they all hurt like hell but if mild 5 min later you never knew it happened ...so could be precautionary removal from the game or could be a ongoing issue ...

point is we just do not know at this time and until we do we should wait and see before sayin wasted pick IMO

it is cause for concern because we do not know

There is no point in commenting on any individual performance by the first team Skill players because the offensive line was, well, offensive. They didn't run block well and they sure didn't pass block well at all. Gilbert was especially bad. Foster was the only lineman without a penalty. Rookie RB, Bell is fragile. He's getting an MRI on his foot today because he has a mid foot sprain. If it is determined that he has a Liz Frank injury his season is essentially over before it started. I saw a very undisciplined team, especially the offense and they had better get that sorted out before the season starts or else they will be the cellar dwellers of the division.

All reports here in Wisco make it sound like the Pack is in love with Eddie Lacy. Meanwhile, all I am hearing about Bell is tentative signal of affection from the Pittsburgh media and now it is possible, if not likely, that he has a lis franc injury. No one should ever draft backs from the Big 10.

Not to get everyone around here fired up over something we don't know about yet... oh, who am I kidding? That's exactly what I'm trying to do... If Bell is out for significant time do you guys see Redman or Dwyer being the #1? Or do we go back to last year's hodgepodge of no true #1? As much as Dwyer pisses me off sometimes, now with his weight loss, and if he can hold onto the ball, he kind of seems more like a true #1 than Redman who only seems to really shine in spot duty. Or do we want to make L.S.H. a #1 and let him take that kind of pounding?

Thoughts?

in case you were wondering


Lisfranc Injury/Fracture (Midfoot “Sprain”)

Lisfranc (midfoot) injury is a significant injury that often has a prolonged recovery time. Fracture of the midfoot bones and/or disruption of the midfoot ligaments (Figure 1) leads to pain, swelling, and often an inability to weight-bear. During normal standing and walking the ligaments of the midfoot are subject to forces that are 2-3 times body weight. These ligaments and bones must heal before normal walking can occur and this often takes a number of months. A stable Lisfranc injury (midfoot sprain) occurs when some of the midfoot ligaments are torn, but the bones and midfoot joints are undisplaced. Stable Lisfranc injuries are treated with rest, immobilization, and often a period of non-weight-bearing. A displaced Lisfranc injury is associated with significant disruption of the midfoot ligaments (displacement of the tarsometatarsal joint) and is usually treated with surgery to reposition and stabilize the joint(s) followed by prolonged immobilization.

I'm pretty sure he walked off the field on his own, so if this is the injury, it may not be the worst case. Or, it may not be this injury at all. Don't see the need to all "the sky is falling" attitudes.

Midfoot Sprains in NFL Players: Treatment and Severity

Return to play without surgery seen in grade 2 Lisfranc injuries

A study presented at the American Orthopaedic Foot & Ankle Society Specialty Day found that professional football players who sustain minor midfoot sprains and are managed conservatively may return to play within 3 weeks. Results also showed that players with severe injuries underwent surgery more than 90 percent of the time.

I was thinking ILB. I'm not a fan of taking running backs in the first few rounds of any draft. And considering Lacy ran behind the Alabama offensive line, I particularly wasn't interested in him. He's going to be Clint Ingram in my opinion. Bama tailbacks are always overrated. If you want a guy like Lacy just sign Ced Benson or Beanie Wells.

I didn't want lacy from the start, while his running style may look great now plowing over guys in preseason those bruising backs fizzle out. I remember when Brandon Jacobs came in the league, Everyone was talking about what a beast he was same thing with marion barber. Le'veon Bell's injury was just bad timing for him not a result of being soft, lets not forget that the reason lacy fell off our board was because of injury.

I didn't and that is a fact ....

Neither did I. I was wondering if the Steelers agreed with me at the time. As it turned out, they did.

I hope Bell turns out to be a great RB time will tell and, I'm willing to wait and, see what happens when he finally takes the field. He must understand that the norm usually is if you are injury prone then most people won't give you the benefit of the doubt.

I never got the love on Lacy. He seems like a capable runner but I think he's the type of guy who is going to get what the line gives him more often than not.

According to a Rotoworld blurb, Lacy was running with the second team offense against Seattle's first team. So yeah, there ya go.

did you see him run?

I actually watched, Jujuan Harris was starting RB then he got hurt and Lacy was put in - he was in there for a long with the #1's O-line

GB is not a running team, they want to try, but you can tell their heart ain't in it

and Aaron Rodgers ran a 4 wide set on 3rd and short....and made it...you didn't see them run it up the gut


1st and 10 at GB 28 A.Rodgers pass short left to D.Williams to GB 36 for 8 yards (E.Thomas, K.Wright).
2nd and 2 at GB 36 (No Huddle) A.Rodgers pass incomplete deep left to J.Jones.
3rd and 2 at GB 36 (No Huddle, Shotgun) A.Rodgers pass short right to J.Jones to GB 40 for 4 yards (B.Browner).
1st and 10 at GB 40 (No Huddle, Shotgun) A.Rodgers pass short left to J.Jones to GB 47 for 7 yards (W.Thurmond, B.Browner).
2nd and 3 at GB 47 (No Huddle) A.Rodgers scrambles right end ran ob at SEA 49 for 4 yards (W.Thurmond). SEA-M.Bennett was injured during the play.
1st and 10 at SEA 49 D.Harris left guard to SEA 46 for 3 yards (E.Thomas).
2nd and 7 at SEA 46 (No Huddle, Shotgun) A.Rodgers pass short middle to J.Finley to SEA 24 for 22 yards (K.Wright).

I haven't watched Lacy in a Packers uniform yet. And with how little Bell has done, it's impossible to compare the two. We don't have much knowledge of them as NFL players.

Have you seen our RBs try to find running lanes behind a crappy second team line? It's tough sledding.

Well sure, but they were drafted based upon something. As a college player I didn't think Lacy was very dynamic. I think he can potentially be a nice pro but his weight issues rival Dwyer's and I don't think there is a ton of natural talent there. He's Clint Ingram with weight issues, to me. Maybe I'll be proven wrong. But as of right now, pending his injury, I think DuJuan Harris wins that job and holds on for a while.

I didn't see enough of Lacy in college either to make an accurate opinion.

Harris just hurt his knee after missing the first two games with the same knee problems. So it's a mess at RB in Green Bay.

A couple of side notes - Green bay was penalized 14 times for 182 yards last night and after 3 preseason games, their "high octane pinball machine" first string offense still has yet to score a TD.

Guess the sky is falling for them too...

What little I saw of the game with Lacy, Seattle was pretty much playing run all the way because Harrell was in at QB. 8 or 9 guys in the box with a lousy GB OL and none of the RBs had anywhere to run. Kind of like our OL has been in the preseason.

I'm not gonna judge any of these RBs (including Bell) on what they're doing currently.

I agree with this. Even without all the points you just made, Seattle has the best defense in the NFL in my opinion.

Packers’ rookie running backs total -4 yards on 12 carries

The first time Lacy got the ball, he went for 11 yards, but it was called back by a holding penalty. After that, these were the gains on the rest of his runs: 3, 2, 1, 0, 0, -3, -2, -6. That’s a total of negative five yards on eight carries. That’s not good.

Eddie Lacy is a good "bellcow" back, But it's clear right now that Le'Veon Bell is a more complete player who can take over a game. Something the Steelers have lacked since Bettis in his prime.

Le'Veon Bell is a special guy, that's for sure.
