Following up on a
previous item. ... The hullabaloo over Lacy's weight will be quieted after his performance in the Green Bay Packers' scrimmage Saturday night. The rookie running back was impressive at Lambeau Field in his first professional live contact display, according to Bob McGinn of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "He (Lacy) went in there and proved he could run the ball effective," running back Alex Green said. "Even when he was a little bit winded he still ran hard and finished runs. Picked up the blitzes when he had to. I thought he did great."

Lacy had eight carries for 65 yards, including gashes of 7, 8, 16 and 19 yards. Lacy followed starter James Starks in the running back rotation. Fellow rookie Johnathan Franklin came in third, Green fourth. According to NFL.com's Kevin Patra, Lacy's power was on display during the scrimmage, and he looks primed for a lot of short-yardage and goal-line touches in his rookie season. But Starks also seems to be coming up big. We'll continue to follow this one closely.
