Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy hasn’t gotten off to a spectacular start this season. Frankly, that’s fine with us because Lacy has never once in his career gotten off to a spectacular start and then he ends up mashing motherfuckers down the home stretch.
But some people aren’t happy with Lacy’s early lack of production. Some people keep suggesting that Lacy’s lack of production is because he’s fat.
Is Eddie Lacy fat?
Don’t know. Don’t give a flyin’ fuck.
Eddie Lacy ALWAYS starts slow. Sorry if he’s ruining your shitty fantasy team.
People are hell bent on figuring out what’s “wrong” with Lacy this year, though. So they ask him stuff like, “Ed, what’s the deal?!”
Ed knows some people think he’s fat and Ed says that isn’t the reason he isn’t tearing it up. He says there’s another reason and you’ll never guess what it is.
Ready for this?
“Watching film, I noticed I would take a hit and I would break the tackle, but I would break it sideways, which allows other people to come tackle me vs. in years past my pads would be low, so when I take the hit, I’m still moving forward,” Lacy said. “It’s just getting my pads down and getting back to basics.”
Know what he identified there?
I’ll give you a hint — it’s Mike McCarthy’s No. 1 reason for any failure of the Green Bay Packers.
PAD LEVEL!
Bam!
As Big Mike would say, “Gotta correct that pad level.”
And now that Ed knows his pad level is not correct, he will surely go out and run for 150 yards every week.

In reviewing Eddy Lacy’s game film the Packers coaching staff did discover some slight changes in how he appeared to be running this year. Their frame of reference was skewed on their tablets based on the angle at which the screen was held. So Coach McCarthy has requested that all of the coaches change their I-Pad level.
Best article of the season (so far)…. You couldn’t have asked for a better lead in to the dreaded PadLevel issue….
Hoping lacy can kill Horseheads now that he’s “getting back to basics”….
Go pack
Bad language does not help your writing
You are so fucking right, bitch!
Wasn’t there an article in one of the Milwaukee rags or something just last season about how the team docs were keeping an eye on his weight, and James Starks was making fun of him at the locker room weigh ins? I don’t think the idea of his health fluctuating is just coming out of nowhere, though maybe it doesn’t represent the entirety of what’s going on this year (ankle).
You know why McCarthy always harps on pad level? Because it’s the number one way you beat your man in this sport, whether you’re tackling, running, blocking, or rushing, the guy who gets the lowest almost always wins, as a football “writer” you should know this-it’s not quantum mechanics.
Oh please don’t put dreaded quote marks around the word ‘writer’. That is just so darn mean. It really hurts Monty.
“I Pad Level”. Good one Steve!
His issues this season have nothing to do with breaking tackles, it’s what’s happening before he even breaks the line of scrimmage. He’s hesitating when he can’t find a hole or sees the defense coming at him. Lacy is not a light-footed guy who’s likely to juke anyone, he’s more of a classic battering ram of a running back. Just lower your shoulder, keep moving forward, and make them pay for every yard, Ed.
Lacy is fat, slow and injured. He was lucky the Packers recovered he fumble vs Chargers or else they lose that game. Starks was running well, best I’ve seen since Ahman Green but he received limited carries and we kept running Eddie’s obese crippled ass. REST THE FAT FUCK. He’s holding the team back.
