Jones: '49ers will see a different Lacy'

Green Bay Packers wide receiver James Jones believes that the San Francisco 49ers will see a different player in Eddie Lacy than they saw in the first week of the season.

Lacy struggled in his first outing in the NFL rushing for only 41 yards on 14 carries, but since then he has established himself as a quality back running for over 1,178 yards in his rookie season, along with 11 touchdowns.

"It's night and day," Jones told the Green Bay Press-Gazette. "Way more comfortable, way more confident. They'll have to account for him.

"I know by them watching film and seeing what he's done during the season, they know he's not the same player he was week one."

The Packers reached the playoffs thanks to a last-gasp win over the Chicago Bears last week.
