Packers RB Eddie Lacy blames running upright for his struggles

Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy has struggled quite a bit this year. He says after watching film, his biggest issue is he's running too upright. His priority coming off of the bye is lowering his pad level. "Watching film, I noticed I would take a hit and I would break the tackle, but I would break it sideways, which allows other people to come tackle me versus in years past my pads would be low," Lacy said. "So when I take the hit, I'm still moving forward. It's just getting my pads down and getting back to basics.
