Totally agree....He has the ability but does he have the desire to change. He really resembles a fullback in stature now, makes me wonder what his shuttle time would be now.
Not really. A called run is a called run. It's complicated for the QB, maybe for the defense. Not so much for the RBJeezee Peezee, he has been there what 4/5 weeks? Give him a opportunity to learn a complicated offense.
Trent will be fine.
The elite top 5 RB's can imo average 3.5+ ypc with 90% of the NFL teams. I though Alexander and Lacy both had the size, quickness and vision of Richardson but were bigger. You can call it luck, but I have told my father for 2 years that Lacy would be the better NFL back. Unless Richardson and Ingram improve, we might have to admit that they were a little overrated. Coach Saban makes all of our players look better because of coaching and the knack for showing a player's strength. We all laughed at Jim Brown, but he probably does know more about judging a RB than anyone in this board.The article brings up a good point in that TR had as good an OLine blocking for him, as there can be in college football, that still doesn't take away just how goo a RB TR truly is..If the OLine don't open up hole for the RB's in the NFL, I don't care who the RB is, that RB isn't going to look good at all..A RB can't get by on his talent alone in the NFL..
I think it's a stretch to call them overrated. Overdrafted? Maybe. No way were they overrated as college players. Someone can be a great college player and be an average nfl player.

Teams are now starting to stack the front, because of Lacy. It's been a long time since that's happened to the packer's. I believe they play on MNF.
Much as I hate to say it, you are correct. Lacy went into a great situation. All the needed was a running game and they got it!If they stack the box versus Lacy, Rodgers will eat them alive.

Post of the year! No more mean spirited "overrated" tags......they were just "overdrafted" lol. We should clarify the definition of "overdrafted", like what causes this phenomenon to happen and why it's different from being graded higher by football establishment?I think it's a stretch to call them overrated. Overdrafted? M
Not sure if you were making fun of my previous post. I was saying that they were not overrated as college players. I don't know how you can be overrated in the nfl if you never played in the nfl. I think most people would agree that at this point MI and TR were both drafted to high for the production level they have had SO FAR. My whole point was that if a great college player doesn't pan out in the nfl that doesn't make him any less of a college player. But everyone labels them as overrated like they weren't even good in college...Post of the year! No more mean spirited "overrated" tags......they were just "overdrafted" lol.

Overdrafted: A player graded higher exclusively limited to those individuals that deal with the NFL draft.
We are talking about the Trent, NFL and expectations, the thread title? A very easy small scope. How is Trent doing as compared to expectations in the NFL? This has nothing to do with judging or putting down Trent's college achievements or skills. You are basically implying that I believe every Heisman winners college abilities and accomplishments are diminished by his NFL career? I didn't say that. Apples and Oranges from the topic because the NFL is not college. Trent's abilities in college are set in stone, time to talk about his new gig and wish him the best.Not sure if you were making fun of my previous post.

Sometimes RB's will inspire the line. Greenbay had not had a 100 yard rusher in a few years until this year. Just a few weeks ago everyone was saying that Trent was finally going to have a decent O-Line, what happened? Some believe the Colts have the best run blocking unit in the league but are poor in pass blocking. Luck is 4th on the controversial QBR, but he does things when theu need to happen, like on 3rd down and using his legs. I believe Lacy would be effective behind that Colt line. Trent will in timeThe Colts offensive line is offensive.
