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."
