While Lacy breaks tackles, Sitton looks like an [expletive]

GREEN BAY — Watching running back Eddie Lacy break tackle after tackle — sometimes just to get back to the line of scrimmage — on Sunday left Josh Sitton and T.J. Lang feeling guilty.

And more than how it made them feel, the two Green Bay Packers veteran guards were more bothered by how their inactivity made them look: Bad.

Except SItton described their embarrassment a bit more colorfully Monday.

"We actually talked about that, T.J. and I," Sitton said of Lacy, who finished with 12 carries for 63 yards (5.3-yard average) and a touchdown. "We were kind of standing around a couple plays, looking like [expletive], not blocking. And Eddie's just squirting out of there. He probably did it four or five times. It was impressive."

According to Pro Football Focus, 34 of Lacy's 63 rushing yards came after contact. Offensive coordinator Tom Clements did not have an official count of how many tackles Lacy actually broke during the Packers' 38-17 victory over the Carolina Panthers, as it was running backs coach Sam Gash's responsibility to count them.

"I think Sam has the number, but I think it was in the teens," Clements said as he finished his time with reporters Monday. "So that's quite a few."

If they and the rest of the O Line would ever open some holes, it might not be like that.

(See the other thread I started yesterday with comments about Lacy and Starks running - mostly in spite of, not because of O Line blocking or the lack of it.)

OL run blocking has been terrible. Even last year Lacy got a large portion of his yard after contact. It is not just the OG fault. Defenders come at him from every direction. The lesser backs in Starks, Harris and even Cobb can not handle the weak blocking they get.

Any word on Starks' ankle?

We haven't been able to run block or run a screen, since McCarthy came and changed the blocking scheme.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Sitton is the last guy on our line that I would expect standing around while a play is going on. I consider him one of the better run blocking offensive linemen with rookie, Corey Linsley falling in right behind him. Sitton should be looking for someone to hit after he's done blocking up front for when Lacy does break that one tackle and looks in another direction.
