A roundup of what's happening on the Green Bay Packers beat.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Eddie Lacy needs just 60 more rushing yards to reach 1,000 for the second time in as many NFL seasons.

He needs only two catches to reach 40 in a season for the first time in his two-year career.

If he gets to both, he'll join some elite company in Packers' history.

Dating to 1949, when Tony Canadeo became the first Packers' player to rush for 1,000 yards in a season, only three running backs in team history have rushed for at least 1,000 yards and caught 40 passes in the same season.

Eddie Lacy is the only guy on this team who shoes up and goes full tilt for 60 minutes, every week. Dude wants to win, and he's NOT a finesse player.

Lacy is an immense talent, it's too bad the Packers don't use him more.
He was tearing up Buffalo and yet he only got 15 carries.
That was a head scratcher.

Same thing for our rookie 5th round C, dude comes to play every game. How about some credit to someone like Guion on defense. Dude was awful the first 4 weeks and it seems like no one can let that go and admit that since then he's been pretty good. Guy doesn't lack for effort that's for sure, same thing for Daniels.

Today could be a big day for Lacy if McCarthy will only turn him loose.
Come on Mike, Eddie needs 25+ carries today.

I'm just glad we don't have to discuss the mediocrity that was Ryan Grant any more.

dfosterf (5h) : Probably a homer access credential intimidation kinda thing

dfosterf (5h) : Meathead "journalists" skip this, concentrating on operational revenue when convenient. They switch when net revenue is more favorable.

dfosterf (5h) : Resulting in an actual drop of net revenue of 12.5%. She is from Minnesota. Just sayin'

dfosterf (6h) : Any plans to hold Maureen Smith (CFO) accountable for a 95% drop in investment revenue?

dfosterf (6h) : Possibly hit his head leaning into the glass protecting the food in the cafateria

dfosterf (6h) : Maybe a low flying drone

dfosterf (6h) : Did Savion Williams run into a goalpost or something?

Mucky Tundra (7h) : also, no bueno when a guy starts getting concussions right off the bat in his career

Zero2Cool (7h) : Concussion is worse. Banks probably vet off day via back booboo claim

Mucky Tundra (9h) : @AndyHermanNFL Jordy Nelson out at camp today. No word if he’s in play for one of the two open roster spots ; )

dfosterf (10h) : Is that better or worse than Banks bad back?

Zero2Cool (10h) : Savion concussion ... not good.

packerfanoutwest (24-Jul) : Aaron Rodgers’s first pass of first team period was picked off

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : tbh I didn't hear of his passing

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Cosby Show. Malcom Jamal Warner I think is real name

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : I was thinking of Ozzy and Hulk

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Who's Theo?

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : How is Theo alliteration?

Mucky Tundra (24-Jul) : Bad week for people whose names are alliterations

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hulk Hogan gone too.

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Oh, it's toe injury

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Hope it's not serious. that would stink

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Sounds like an ankle not a knee for Fields

dfosterf (24-Jul) : Ya Flaccp on Browns

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : Maybe Tyrod Taylor instead

Zero2Cool (24-Jul) : He's on Browns, right?

dfosterf (24-Jul) : They would probably go with Flacco is my guess if Fields out

dfosterf (23-Jul) : You didn't get free childcare when you were at work?

wpr (23-Jul) : These guys make hundreds of thousands of dollars a year. Pay for their own childcare.

dfosterf (23-Jul) : 2nd issue. Number 1 issue was no gameday childcare. 1 of 3 teams not providing it

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty

wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.

Mucky Tundra (23-Jul) : Wasn't the locker room just updated like 6 or 7 years ago?

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : I have forum updated on different site. We'll see how this one goes before going to that

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Elgton Jenkins has a back injury, is expect to end contract dispute

wpr (23-Jul) : The site is much more better.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : NFLPA report said Packers lockerroom needed upgrade. Whining bout where you change?
