GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Eddie Lacy is rolling again.The Green Bay Packers fourth-year tailback is eager to carry the momentum from a successful training camp into the season opener on Sunday at Jacksonville. Tweaks that Lacy made to his offseason conditioning program appear to have paid off.Physically, yeah. Mentally, totally, Lacy said after practice on Wednesday. Well see it how it goes come game day, but Im pretty sure Ill be all right.The Packers would love for Lacy to return to the form that made him one of the NFLs toughest running backs in his first two years in the league. Lacy rushed for at least 1,100 yards in both the 2013 and 2014 seasons.But the production fell off last year to 758 yards and three scores in 15 games. At one point, James Starks started over Lacy after he had missed curfew the night before a game. Coach Mike McCarthy called out Lacy after the season for his weight.Lacy changed his conditioning routine in the offseason, and worked out with fitness expert Tony Horton. Lacy looks leaner, though dont look at the Packers roster to find out how much weight he may have lost. Hes listed at 5-foot-11, 234 pounds this year, the same weight as last season.The results have shown in practice, and in limited action in preseason games. The bullish Lacy averaged 5.7 yards per carry on 20 attempts, with one touchdown.When we can get (Lacy and Starks) rolling, thats when were at our best, center JC Tretter said. When we can attack teams both on the ground and in the air, that opens everything up for us, makes both jobs easier.Moving the ball proved more than difficult than usual last season for Green Bay. Besides Lacys struggles, the Packers didnt have deep-threat receiver Jordy Nelson because of a knee injury. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers other top passing option, receiver Randall Cobb, was slowed by injuries all season.Now the whole gang is back and healthy to start 2016.Lacy said that hed like for the offense to prove that it can play physical with the ball. It suits his style perfectly, especially in cold-weather games in December with the playoffs on the line.We can run the ball, (get) tough yards, Lacy said.But the easygoing running back doesnt seem to stress out much about wanting to prove anything for himself. Hes confident in the work he did in the offseasonAt their best, Lacy and Starks are an effective complementary combination in the backfield. Starks is more of an outside-the-tackles slasher. Lacy can pound defenses inside and spin away from defenders.McCarthy doesnt want to get into how hes going to divide snaps between Lacy and Starks.Im not going to get into whos doing what, McCarthy said. But (Lacy) is going to play. I can promise you that.Game notes WR Jeff Janis practiced fully with large wrap protecting his injured right hand.
