There's absolutely not enough time to monitor every player's diet especially in the offseason. I'm sure they do what they can.

Do you schedule the team plans/drills around the majority of the team who correctly do their job of staying in shape? Or do you focus in on the slackers who fail to stay in shape, while the guys that did their job in the first place just wait around and do nothing new?

Unless you know, they think P90X is better. 😂

And Lacy probably knows, that personal instructors are better for him, because he's proven that he's too fucking lazy to stay in shape without them... again, that's on Lacy, not the staff. Hell that might be more Alabama staff than Packers staff, as another former Bama RB has pointed out , that Bama treats their players like boys, "having everything like at Alabama where it was so structured", to adjusting to suddenly being treated like a man "in the NFL, [where] everything’s on your own". Bama might talented players, but you also might have to watch for them getting lazy once they get to the pros.

That Alabama RB this year looks nice though.
