Tony Horton to train Eddie Lacy?

[Patler]

Supposedly he offered, and "Lacy's people" are in discussions with him.

Horton emphasized he will work WITH the Packers staff.

Now, Lacy’s people have confirmed the two sides have touched base, but there is no official agreement at this point.

According to TMZ, Horton says he doesn’t want to undermine Green Bay’s training plan for Lacy — but instead, he wants to work WITH the team to get Lacy where he needs to be.

“The Packers will get him ready for the season. My job will be to get the weight off and help him eat better,” Horton told TMZ.

Perfect.

I hope this is acceptable for all parties involved and we see an enormous season 'next' for Eddie Lacy.

The Packers 'O' needs so much more from Eddie Lacy.

This just screams of marketing stunt.

Fine. If he gets Lacy in shape, I have no problem with him turning it into a commercial. Before and after pictures. All that.

We can hope, can't we? It IS the off season, after all.

(Do you think maybe Horton's sales are down in WI and the UP?)

Isn't that a donut shop in Canada?

... and a good one at that! They also make (or at least did make 15 years ago) a great chili. You can get their coffee in K-cups for Keurigs, if you are a Tim Horton's fan.

Oh-oh. Did Lacy contact the wrong Horton by accident?

The Bama Hammer doesn't need a beach body. You have to be very disciplined and focused when you cut weight.

Iron Head Heyward and Jerome Bettis were two hefty boys who used their flubby bellies as part of their arsenal when they were gaining tough yardage. They'd sling their ample guts in the right direction and use that flub to pull 'em along.

Eddie needs to gain muscle and workout to regain his quickness. Get steppin' and be quicker, but keep that pot bellied tank.

It's stylish.

At least Tony Horton is better than Dr. Oz.

No one is expecting him to look like Adrian Peterson. But a Bettis body might not work for him either. His listed weight is 234. He needs to get back to something resembling that.

I think carrying an extra 10 to 15 pounds makes all difference in Eddie Lacy's running style. He lost his explosiveness and his ability to make a hard cut at full speed and power through the hole. Some of this has to do with the ankle, but his ankle couldn't get healthy because his body was unhealthy. I don't give a shit if he looks pudgy, just be fit and regain what you once had.

We saw an enormous season from Lacy this year. I want to see an in-shape and productive season from him next year.

Yep. Watch tape of him from his rookie and sophomore years compared to now. He didn't finish runs anywhere near the way he used to. Plus, his broken tackle numbers were way down.
