re: Eddie Lacy had a great day today. It's shocking that he has outperformed TRich

Ingram had good vision and a great first step. To be effective, he has to get into the flow of the game and learn how the DL / LB play off of blocks. Gets better as the game goes.

TRich had power and pretty good speed but lacks vision. He has to learn how his blockers work then play off of them rather than reading the DL / LB. Changing teams mid season completely screwed up his ability to know where his blockers would be. Should do better next year if he can keep the body blows down to stay healthy.

Lacy had great vision and was better at not absorbing full impact. Not a great first step but good top end speed for his size. Does not run with as wide a base as either Ingram or TRich but uses his spin and the inertia of the tackler for radical dirrection changes rather than the horizontal cuts Ingram uses.

Ingram needs lots of carries in a game to get rolling. TRich needs time with the line to learn where to run. Lacy just needs the ball and his ankles to be stable enough to avoid the big hits.
