SPRIGGS™ is the 3rd OT. But it might be by default.

Spriggs, who was mysteriously demoted before the first preseason game against Tennessee, might be the team’s No. 3 offensive tackle by default. Maybe a half-hour after McCarthy’s press conference, Kyle Murphy, who had been the front-runner for that job, was seen walking down a hallway behind the locker room with a walking boot on his right foot.

There have been 112 offensive tackles to play at least 30 pass-protecting snaps in the preseason. According to Pro Football Focus and its pass-blocking efficiency metric, which measures sacks, this and hurries per pass-protecting snap, Spriggs ranks 29th (zero sacks, three hurries), Adam Pankey ranks 61st (zero sacks, seven hurries), Alex Light ranks 109th (zero sack, one hit, five hurries) and Murphy ranks 110th (four sacks, one hit, eight hurries). No player has allowed more sacks in the preseason than Murphy, according to PFF.

Yeah that play we were debating in another thread was all on Murphy. Very poor footwork and no anchor. Bad combo.

I'm surprised SPRIGGS' numbers are that good. He's looked awful far more than three snaps...

His best trait right now might be never letting go even while he is getting run over. Its kinda sad, but its more effective than missing. He also has had a lot of TE help, at least during the Titans game.

Speaking of missing, I think Marshall Newhouse might be the starting tackle for the Bills. Saw Newhouse starting, but not certain he was with the 1s.

So what you're essentially saying is that Murphy was better playing in traffic as a kid than SPRIGGS. Murphy only took glancing blows from cars, but SPRIGGS got hit head-on.

He punished the car that hit him! You could hear the dent.

With WR/KR Trevor Davis (hamstring) and RB Devante Mays (hamstring) in pads after long layoffs, #Packers have only four players out: WR Jake Kumerow (shoulder), ILB Oren Burks (shoulder), OT Kyle Murphy (ankle) and … QB Aaron Rodgers (illness). Yet to see Mays/Davis in 11-on-11.

OT Bryan Bulaga limping back to sideline after getting tangled up with someone. Seems to be OK. Nobody tending to him.

Gonna be like this all year.

Bulaga wants that coveted Terry Glenn award.

bet kumerow is really regretting that totally unnecessary dive into the endzone these days

might just cost him a spot

[pbmax]

might just land him on IR

FIFY

Remember the year they cut Sitton, Lane Taylor looked pretty shitty in the preseason. Yet they trusted him to start, and he did pretty well.

Don't know what this means, except maybe there is a backup on that offensive line who is better than we think. Just maybe when the line collectively sucks there can be an individual in there who is better than it looks.

straw - grasp it!

Larry McCarren had a clip on packers.com showing Kenny Clark tossing around pro bowl interior lineman from Oakland. Mike D is healthy. Oh man, I can’t wait to see those two together. This is probably Clark’s first year of his prime and Mike Daniels last year of his. It could be one of those truly special tandems that changes the game! How do you block two stars side by side? It’s so hard! And up the middle is the is the toughest place to get pressure! Can’t wait!!

Gotta love the guys on here that think the Packers O-line is good. The only good players on the Oline are Linsley and Bak. This is yet another key area ignored by the brain trusts in GB.

When healthy Bulaga is a fine tackle. The biggest problem with the line is depth. The backups are pretty dreadful.
