Packers Assistant Praises Lacy

The Packers hired Ben Sirmans this offseason to coach the team's running backs. They did not hire Ben Sirmans because he's a wordsmith.

We know this because of what happened on Thursday. On Thursday, Sirmans tried to praise overweight running back Eddie Lacy. Instead, he learned a valuable lesson about the importance of phrasing.

Sirman's says quote - "You can tell he's very hungry this year."

Hungry to improve or hungry for food? Because the latter was a problem this past year.

Earlier this month, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that the Packers want Lacy to lose 30 pounds after a lackluster 2015 campaign that saw him rush for just 758 yards. And, going back to January, head coach Mike McCarthy confirmed that Lacy was overweight.

"He's got a lot of work to do," McCarthy said, per NFL.com. "His offseason last year was not good enough and he never recovered from it. He cannot play at the weight he played at this year."
