I don't think they sit Spitz, having tendered him so high.

Agreed. I don't see them resigning Tausher either. We just need to draft a LT for the future and we should be set.Originally posted by Gunakor
What do you guys think about Wells? I think he's average but do you think they'll try to upgrade after we get a LT?Comment

Not sure I understand. They tendered him the same as Colledge, and they were virtually obligated too because Spitz was going to make the same amount of money anyways because of playing time incentives.Originally posted by Gunakor"There's a lot of interest in the draft.

We'll just have to see how it shakes out.
Clifton and Sitton are the only sure bets at their positions.
Colledge could get beat out by Spitz, Lang or a rookie.
Wells could get beat out by Spitz
Tausher could be replaced by Lang
I know the Barbre experiment failed miserably and Giacomini hasn't shown much, but neither did Wahle and Rivera early. There's still a slight chance with those guys.
I'm hoping for a young, promising LT drafted within the first two or three rounds and some more development from within.Formerly known as JustinHarrell.Comment

Well it leaves the door open for Colledge to win that starting spot. Competition is a good thing. He probably won't win it, but it's nice for the Packers to give him an opportunity to.Originally posted by HarveyWallbangers
The Packers were obligated to tender Colledge at that level as well, as his tender is basically the minimum salary he'd be due this year anyway. The only alternative would be to tender him at the first round level, or not tender him at all. Either would have been a huge mistake IMO.
Don't forget that, though he looked bad at LT last year, he would have been the only player on the roster with any significant experience at LT should Clifton not have been resigned. And if Tausch isn't resigned, the only guy other than Colledge with ANY experience at LT would be playing RT in Tauscher's place. Or if Lang moved over to LT in place of Clifton, Colledge could compete for the RT job with Barbre in place of Tauscher. I mean, Barbre didn't look any better at tackle last season than Colledge did, did he? So, without knowing whether Clifton or Tauscher would be back and without knowing how the draft and FA would pan out, Colledge had to be tendered if only to ensure us of a competiton at LT and RT next season to put the best players we could out there even if the draft and FA don't fall nearly the way we want them to.Chuck Norris doesn't cut his grass, he just stares at it and dares it to growComment

I'm gonna throw this out there regarding Colledge.
Does anyone think his future could be at right tackle? He has filled in there from time to time in the past, and performed real well against the Lions 2 years back (yes I know it's the Lions). They could then move Lang inside to left guard. I just don't know if Colledge would be enough of a power RT. There is really a lot of flexibility within the line.
I would love to know the Packers coaches thoughts regarding the OL, specifically their long term plans for Lang. Didn't he originally start out practicing at one of the guard spots last year?Go PACKComment

i think spitz is our starting center, not wellsComment

Yes to both the last two posts.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.Comment

Colledge's future is the manager of a Dairy Queen.
Lang projected as a guard initially, I think. However, the coaching staff said that he projected well as a right tackle at the end of last season.
He has promise and should be given a shotComment

Ladies, don't listen to FritzOriginally posted by Fritz
haha I'm glad I was wrong.
I live in Richmond, VA and pretty much all my friends are redskin fans plus they are always on TV here so I'm force to watch them a lot even though I can't stand them.
You have to admit though when the Redskins usually go after a FA they get him. I think Peppers to the Bears def put the pressure on TT to get a deal done.
