Lacy had 11 carries for 36 rushing yards and one catch on one target for nine receiving yards Sunday against the Lions.
Lacy has really struggled this season, failing to reach 45 rushing yards in any of his three games, though it should be noted that he has faced three of the best run defenses in the NFL all in a row. That will change in Week 4 when the Packers face a Bears defense ranked 29th against the run so far this season.
I honestly feel that they need to get him involved more in the PASSING game. We know with Rodgers they are going to fling it around, so those 25 carry games may not be there as often. This however should not mean less utilization of a stud running back. Give him 18 carries, and 7-8 targets a game.. The offense will look smoother, and Lacy will be able to wear down the defense a little more than he has so far. Lacy is a throw back running back, which will help the team out in the fourth after the defense has been worn down from him a little more

Just my opinion, I am no NFL coach.
