@Tom Silverstein: New from JS: RB Eddie Lacy and G Josh Sitton voted second-team All-Pros http://bit.ly/1dgYFbD
Well deserved by both. Agree with this take:
@PackerUpdate: Sitton didn't make Pro Bowl, but this is a much bigger honor. Lacy finished behind only McCoy, Charles & Peterson. Talk about good company.
Here is a sweet example of their work (from great article today at http://www.grantland.com/blog/...kers-this-postseason):

Wow. I guess next up for Lacy is ROY honors.
All the other teams had the opportunity to draft Lacy, and he was expected to be really good. I don't know what kind of career he will have, but it certainly looks promising. I bet a few teams are kicking themselves for not drafting him.
He'll have a really good but probably short career. Hopefully Starks and Franklin can reduce the wear and tear on him.
Can't wait to have Franklin back in the mix next year.
Great honor for both and agree way more value to this vs making the Pro Bowl.
Props to these dudes.
And DeJuan Harris PH.
Lacy did not get a lot of carries at ALA, so even with his style he could play at a high level late into his 20's.
I'd be pretty happy with a backfield of Lacy, Starks, Harris and Franklin. Not sure where that leaves Kuhn. Hopefully one of those 4 can step up and become a more dynamic 3rd down back than Kuhn (and just as reliable). Should be Franklin but we'll see if he's improved his pass protection and ball security issues.
And glad to see Sitton finally getting the recognition he deserves. Playing next to Saturday and Barclay did him no favors last year but he's been the rock on this o-line for years. I'm excited to see this o-line in 2014 with Tretter, Bulaga and Sherrod in the mix.
With Bak getting an offseason of "growth" under his belt and BB returning to the right side where we know he is very good, that OL could be special next year.
