The Facts: Following up on the ongoing story. ... After calling out the fulsome Lacy last month, HC Mike McCarthy today suggested that he's supremely confident his star running back, who struggled to produce at what's been reported to be close to 260 pounds, won't make the same mistakes again this year.

Diehards Line: "Eddie Lacy's conditioning, I have great confidence is something that will improve and is improvement as we speak," McCarthy said. According to ESPN.com's Mike Demovsky, McCarthy said he's confident Lacy will learn from last season. That makes sense. After all, the coach previously said Lacy wouldn't play this year if he was the same weight as last year. The situation will be an ongoing storyline in coming weeks. It's one we'll follow closely.
