I truly believe that Eddie Lacy has the chance to be one of the best running backs in Packer history. But there’s one aspect of Lacy’s game that scares me. He is like a tough sponge because he absorbs so much punishment. He was nicked up with a concussion and the nagging ankle injury this…
After watching both championship games from this past weekend, it’s evident what the Packers lack: a physical defensive backfield. The Patriots pestered, bothered and downright annoyed the Broncos but obviously not enough for Peyton Manning to carve them up. And the 49ers and Seahawks did everything that was legal for a defender to do. The…
Eddie Lacy earned a spot to compete for this trophy, and not just as an injury scratch. It shouldn’t have taken an Adrian Peterson injury scratch for Eddie Lacy to make the Pro Bowl.

While everyone was waiting for the puff of white smoke to magically come out of 1265 Lombardi Ave., Mike McCarthy remained tight-lipped about his prized and shelved quarterback. At last week’s press conference McCarthy was clearly irritated when asked if Aaron Rodgers was being held out due to a medical decision. That’s clearly a warranted…
