Former Packers still pursuing the dream

Breno and Marshmallow are two guys who you notice and are glad they are ex-Packers.

Spitz was fine! He just wasn't Josh Sitton. He probably wasn't Lang either.

You lose credibility when trying to make those comparisons IMO

Spitz should have never been in there. When he was he showed himself to be not ready to play at this point

I agree. He wasn't ready. But he had the attitude you need. He never gave up even when beaten.

Marshmallow was the king of getting beat and giving up.

In other Ex-OL news, Evan Dietrich Smith re-upped with Tampa. His 9th season in the league, he's a swing man now, backing up all interior line positions.

Are we talking about Jason Spitz, Guard, GBP 2005-2010? Louisville's own?

Wasn't ready? He started 45 games over four seasons, two with Bert (including a year they SHOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE SUPERB OWL) and two with Rodgers?

He got bumped out of the lineup by Sitton after having a back injury?

Are you the second and third accounts of Retail Guy

He was never spectacular and could be beaten, but was a more natural Guard than Colledge. The injury robbed him of his toughness. He needed to be replaced and was, though it took an All-Pro to do it. I think your memories of him are tainted by his backup time and exit.

He was better than any other interior starter/backup they had until Linsley/Tretter.

This guy?

By saying Sitton obviously and Lang probably were better than a (healthy) Spitz, I am somehow losing credibility?

Have you lost all memory of 2005-2010?

Who is winning versus the battle against the Giants Aces? Spitz ain't falling down!

Confusing Spitz with Barbre perhaps? Or Moll? Maybe even Coston?

Spitz came in with Colledge, and was clearly the more NFL ready of the two, and until he was hurt, Spitz was better and more consistent than Colledge. The Packers always wanted Spitz at center, but couldn't do it his first few years because he was their best guard.

Sorry, Spriggs not Spitz.

Is there such a thing as a Pyrrhic Choice?

Yes. It is called "Giant Shit Sandwich and We all Gotta Take a Bite."

OK, now I understand you. You may be misguided, but doubt is understandable about SPRIGGS™

Bretsky still has to explain who he is talking about.
