  • Updated: Colledge OK at LT. Only Gave up 2 sacks in Bye Week

    I dunno about the rest of you Rats, but watching Colledge go against that NFL LEGEND DE, named Odom, from the Bengals made me scared (5 sacks, really?)

    Real scared. I know some like him, Colledge (OK maybe only Waldo did), but he's a fish out of water at Left Tackle. That was ridiculous and made me flashback to that preseason game vs. the Chargers years ago....Ya that game where he got raped for 3 sacks in about 5 min. All that progress at OG over the years, equals bitch ass production at OT. What do ya know?

    Colledge is an OK guard, and that is it. I really like you Waldo (well sometimes...where's J. Thompson....and where's my man Bishop..but whatever..I'll let that go), but saying Colledge needs a new big contract...he's this and that...I shut up and let you say it. I'll kill myself if the Pack resigns Colledge to big deal.

    You are normally right, but Colledge (Snake's NEVER been a fan at all) just looked the bitch. Wow, did he get thrown the fuck around (where's that athletic prowess, yo). Colledge is garbage...I always thought it.

    Anyway, here's a new article on it. This is what we have to face. I felt Cliffy was declining for years, but seeing that circus-fiasco last week vs. the lowly Bengals and Odom opened my eyes to what we have to deal with post-Clifton. Even declining, Cliffy's the man. Fuck Darren Colledge at OT. He gave up at least 3..4?? sacks alone at LT. Wow. I didn't think there would be that much drop off with old Cliffy, but obviously that cost us the Bengal game. I didn't know Cliffy at his age/injury status was that good. Or maybe Colledge is that pathetic. I'm betting on the latter. Colledge sucks.



    The Green Bay Packers will be without starting left tackle Chad Clifton for at least two games.

    Clifton sprained his right ankle last Sunday against Cincinnati, and he’ll be out at least until after the bye week in October.

    Until then, left guard Daryn Colledge will play in the tackle spot. He was a tackle in college at Boise State.

    ------------

    There it is. I didn't consider Collledge as anything but un-fucking-spectacular, but he looked like a bitch liking a whipping stick from his dominmatrix last week. If Cliffy is out. Good luck. Darren is pudding at OT. I guess he's gonna make All-Pro's 3 week weeks straight at DE for opposing teams. I really don't like Darren at OT. He's proven nothing but incompetence.

    It's just sad. Post on. Damn.

    He hadn't taken any reps at LT heading into that game. At least wait and see how he performs after actually having taken reps at the position during practice in the lead up to this weekends game. Besides, while Odom is no legend, he is a pretty good pass rusher. He got 2 sacks in week 1 against a LT that didn't give up a single one a season ago. And, to be fair, Odom only got three sacks on Colledge, the other two were on Cliffy. No telling whether he'd have wound up with 3 or 4 or 5 even if Cliffy hadn't gotten injured. He's no NFL legend, but he's scary good nonetheless.

      I dunno, Gun, I give Colledge no leeway on this, cuz he knows he's a LT if need be. Maybe, I say fuck it, cuz look at the game (tape) and he got SO raped it's sad. He really looked poor ass poor on so many snaps. Colledge is pathetic at LT. Really, really sad. I'm only looking at the game from last week. He really looked whooped OVER and FUCKING OVER.

      The whole point was Cliffy (who I thought/we all did thought was done) and Colledge was gonna step up.....NOPE. F5 Hurricane. DISASTER. Embarrasing shit. Colledge is no answer at ALL. Thus the point of this topic.

      Let's resign him for $7-9 million yearly when we have a chance no? Waldo? No?? God thank god no...

        That's the problem. You're only looking at this one game, one in which he had prepared all week for at LG. They don't practice all week at 2 different positions. You say "he knows he's a LT if need be" but without any practice time at the position you can't realistically expect him to remain sharp. You just can't. It's a different position, different responsibility, different technique. This week he'll be preparing at LT, and should have a far better showing. If you remember last year he looked decent at LT when given reps at that position during practice. I suspect he'll be just fine again this weekend.

        If Cliffy really was done, he wouldn't have been the starter at LT heading into the game against Cincy. And if he wasn't the starter at LT heading into the game against Cincy, Colledge would have been. And if Colledge would have been the starter heading into that game, he'd have gotten all the reps at LT heading into that game. And he'd have been much more effective for having those reps. Practice makes perfect, as the old saying goes. Give him time to practice before you ask for perfection.

          I think Colledge will be ok at LT, but I think he's a really good left guard. I just don't understand why they aren't grooming Lang or Giacomoni (sp?) at LT so they don't have to shift half of the o-line when someone gets hurt. They figure it puts the "best 5 players" out there but I think it destroys continuity and they should be grooming a LT for future depth anyway, they can put a RB or TE over there to help for awhile. They went through the same crap last year and the line never did get settled, at least Mike Sherman had the o-line ready.
          Thanks Ted!

            Thank God we play the Rams; this week will be like plaing a JV team in the NFL. We'll be fine
            TERD Buckley over Troy Vincent, Robert Ferguson over Chris Chambers, Kevn King instead of TJ Watt, and now, RICH GANNON, over JIMMY JIMMY JIMMY LEONARD. Thank you FLOWER

              I think this Packer team can't afford to take anyone lightly. It's very, very difficult to win games behind a line like that.

                  Weren't most people, myself included, fine with the idea of Colledge taking over for Clifton when Clifton eventually retires or dies when his legs fall off his body on the field?

                  After the whole Barbe incident, now Colledge playing like a double amputee on one of those wheelie boards, at some point I might start looking at Campen with the same eyes I looked at Kurt Schottenheimer.

                    Why not start now? Clefty's next big exclusive may be on the O-line controversy. My relationship with the Bowflex SEII gym might provide some other 'inside the locker room' contacts willing to divulge what Campen really knows and when he knew it.

                      Plus didn't DC play on a sprained foot on top of switching positions during the game?

                        Always liked Colledge as a left tackle. Nice career at Boise as a lt. Performed well against future NFL des like Kiwanuka, Alama-Francis, Prucell, etc.

                        Colledege lack of upper body strength always concerned me though. This was clearly evident early in his career.

                        Recently thought Colledge upper body strength improved. Started playing with more nastiness and confidence.

                        However it was interesting Odom mentioning he had an advantage over Colledge in strength. Expect Colledege to struggle with rushers with a strength advantage. Shall be surprised if Colledge repeats an Odom-type performance.

                          Will Colledge play mostly against Chris Long this weekend? If so that will prove to be a good test for him.

                          I have not heard much out of Long since he was drafted. That is probably because of the team he plays on, but he was highly touted out of college.

                              Colledge will adjust and will be at least average with some reps under his belt. He's a pretty sharp dude.
