Lacy to Seahawks

Lots of interesting comments today by Greg Jennings in regards to Lacy

Well, post 'em!

Well, post 'em!

“When you’re drafted and you’re a first-round draft pick, especially at an organization like Green Bay who typically drafts well… this was a young man who had the opportunity to do something special within this organization.

“And he wasted it away, because he was unwilling to commit to his personal training. His health. And to that team. It was the ultimate sign of selfishness. He was worried about off-the-field things, whatever that entailed in the offseason, and he didn’t dedicate what he needed to the game and to his personal training, and being prepared and ready to go for a season.

“They didn’t need him to be like typically every other three-down back. They had James Starks. They just needed you to be healthy, to run through the tackles…”

Colin Cowherd: “And not eat cheeseburgers all day.”

Greg Jennings: “…and not eat cheeseburgers. Just reel it in, a little bit

Greg sure has changed his tune.

Besides Lacy not being a first round pick I agree with what Jennings said regarding Eddie. I had heard rumors that football wasn't Lacy's #1 priority. If you are a professional athlete you gotta be ultra committed and it appears he just isn't.

I'm gonna wager Greg said those things back then because his ego was bruised. Time can heal a lot of wounds.

You mean, like, yesterday?

Yesterday? What did I miss...?

How so? Jennings may have said some regrettable things after he left the Packers, but I never saw anything to suggest he lacked commitment when he was playing for them.

He was pretty disparaging of the Packers in the Twin Cities news for a few months after he left. Not as much as his sister I guess, but he had some pretty sour grapes for a while there.

If Eddie had been hurt but not fat, Cowherd and Jennings would tell you he was injury prone.

If he had been hurt just the one time and not fat, Cowherd and Jennings would tell you the Packers do not care for players who made sacrifices and played hurt for the team because the don't offer them contract extensions.

There is no news that cannot be spun as reflecting poorly on someone else.

EDDIE LACY, SEAHAWKS AGREE ON 1-YEAR CONTRACT

This article pretty much covers it all and Eddie Lacy and now a Seattle Seahawk.

I liked Lacy, thought he made the OL look better at run blocking than they were. In his rookie year he could turn a 1 yard gain into a 3 or 4 yarder. That changed too soon. The weight scrutiny was with him from his first camp, but it was pretty embarrassing when he got around 260 and not well conditioned.
Jennings is a pundit at this point. He can have an opinion. When he played for GB, he trained hard and played well. Sour grapes because his career fizzled out post-GB isn't a good look, but I'm not sure based on the comments posted here that he's saying anything that hasn't been said by posters here.

I'm frustrated by Lacy. Loved watching him play. Could have been one of the great Packer running backs. Just didn't take his profession seriously enough.

Agreed. Such wasted talent. Early in his career he carried the offense when rodgers was out. Figured we'd have another 4-5 years of that.
