Pretty much right from the start of his NFL career, running back has been criticized for his weight. Remember the infamous "Fat Eddie Lacy" from training camp his rookie year?Both Lacy and the Green Bay coaches at the time that his weight was not an i sue."It was a bad angle," Lacy said at the time. "There's nothing you can do about it."Lacy then went on to have a productive season, rushing 284 times for 1 Noah Vonleh Jersey ,178 yards and 11 touchdowns. The next season he was arguably even more productive, pushing his yards-per-carry average from 4.1 as a rookie to 4.5. He finished with 1,139 yards and nine touchdowns, also tacking on 42 catches for 427 yards and four touchdowns. Derrick Rose Jersey During the course of the 2014 season, apparently mentioned to Lacy that he might want to drop some weight for the next (2015) season."I think what he (Rodgers) is getting at is if I'm going to be involved in the pa sing game this year, and if I want to be a better player, then it might not be a bad idea to, just get a little more agile," Lacy said, ."I mean, I don't have to. It would just make you better as a player."Then this year rolled around and Lacy was not exactly smaller. Lacy, though, denied that his weight was a problem. "I'm not the smallest person," "Brandon Jacobs wasn't the smallest person. Jerome Bettis wasn't the smallest person. Some people can just play like that, not that I'm Jerome Bettis' weight or nothing like that. I'm just saying, not Devon Dotson Jersey everybody's meant to look like or somebody like that." Packers coach Mike McCarthy initially took Lacy's side on the i sue."I'm not going to get into guy's weights," McCarthy said in October, . "I mean, I've never been asked a question about a guy's weight. But I think players do get bigger in their career. But he's bigger than he was as a rookie."But after a year in which Lacy regre sed (he went back down to 4.1 yards per carry and his number of totes dropped all the way down to 12.5 per game, almost three fewer than last year), McCarthy has changed his tune."He's got a lot of work to do," Mike McCarthy said Monday, . "His offseason last year was not good enough and he never recovered from it. Zach Norvell Jr. Jersey He cannot play at the weight he played at this year." The Packers listed Lacy at 234 pounds this season, but there were rumors during training camp that he weighed as much as 242 pounds. He was alternately ineffective and out of the lineup, and he had only six games out of the 18 Green Bay played in which he topped 75 yards, which Scottie Pippen Jersey was his career average coming into the season.The Packers have previously been in Lacy's corner about his weight, so this is a very public change of tune. If he doesn't come into camp in significantly better shape next summer, they could be headed for an ugly situation.
