Eddie Lacy Needs a Nickname

ReddRum · Post #1 » by **ReddRum** » Thu Jul 31, 2014 2:43 pm

I think this guy is going to be an absolute beast this year, and I predict he rushes for over 1500 yards. This guy needs a nickname and one that will stick. Any ideas?

I have heard, "The Hammer" before but is that sticking?

He already gave himself a nickname:

"Eddie has a self-appointed nickname of 'Moss,' as in Randy Moss," Rodgers told the team's official website. "He thinks he's got incredible hands. His hands actually are very good."

Moss is such a stupid nickname

Lacey Underall

Lacey Underall: My uncle says you've got a screw loose.
Ty Webb: Your uncle molests collies.

I prefer being simple: Big Lace

If we're getting creative the Hammer is OK. He also seems to have a fascination with the Hulk

I've been calling him "Truck" just based on his ability to run over guys. But ELX isn't bad, either.

Kinda like ELX too. I still call him Fattie Lacy though.

Hopefully Jabari is as awesome at being fat as Lacy is. I still remember those pictures from camp last year where everyone was freaking out about his weight. :lol:

Since Doug Martin got Muscle Hampster, I stopped caring about nicknames, as nothing could ever top it.

I'm just going to call him Kyle.

Just stick with The Hammer. It's good and describes his playing style.

When you try to "give" someone a nickname it sounds stupid and contrived.

The best was Mike Daniels coming out and saying, "That picture terrifies defensive players."

"I'll tell you what, when defenses see him and see his tape, they say, 'The bigger they are, the harder they're bringing that wood when they're coming downhill,' " Daniels said. "They're not looking at it laughing. They're looking at it like, 'Crap.' The people who know, they're looking at that like, 'That boy has some weight to him. He ain't going to go down easy."

Correct.

How about Tractor Traylor?? :wink:

I think his self proclaimed nickname is just foolin around talking about how good his hands are.

That being said...How much fun will it be to see Lacy with the ball in the open field and a couple lineman running down the field in front of him on a screen play!??

Oh yes. I can't wait for that.

It feels so good to have a RB who's not falling down on the first contact he gets..No shoestring tackles with #27. Just awesome.
