Moving forward, he's making no promises and added it was "probably unlikely" Stacy could find an outlet on special teams.
"One thing about it, I've got a good grasp of the offense,Jordan Sneakers Wholesale, so in the back of my mind it's still tuned in," Stacy said. "Whenever I'm in the game, I'm able to process things a whole lot better — even without the reps."

ST. LOUIS (AP) — Rams running back Zac Stacy missed a 1,000-yard rookie season by only 27 yards.
Quarterback Austin Davis said he doesn't mind who is in the backfield.
"First string or fifth string, you've really got to be professional about yourself,Cheap NFL Jerseys," Stacy said. "My whole mentality is remaining prepared as much as I can."
"I can certainly appreciate how Zac feels after last week," Fisher said. "Zac is again, very unselfish and just waiting his turn, and he's an outstanding back as well."
Stacy was a standout last year as a fifth-round pick off a record-setting career at Vanderbilt,Kevin Love Jersey, maximizing his chance after getting his first start in Week 5.
