Derek Sherrod or T.J. Lang: Who Will Win Green Bay's Left Guard Position? 


One of the very few positions left that are up for grabs in Green Bay is the left guard position, where left guard Daryn Colledge recently left in free agency.

Colledge has been a solid and reliable starter for Green Bay. While he has certainly contributed to the team, he was one of those players that made you think "he's good, but I just can't shake that feeling that we can do better."

We wish him well in Arizona.

Well, since Newhouse sucked ass in the Cleveland game - I've been forced to reconsider and now think that Sherrod will be the backup LT & Lang will win out at LG. MacDonald will be groomed for center and hopefully Schlauderoff will show enough to at least make the practice squad.

Not sure who will win the LG position, but I know who wins when there is good competition within the team: The Packers!

That article basically makes it sound like Lang will be our starting LG pending some unexpected circumstances. That doesn't disappoint me, but it does seem to diminish the competition some. I do like the idea of having Sherrod focus strictly on LT every day in order to be as prepared as possible WHEN Clifton goes down, even if it's for a few quarters.

I think watching what the Coaches were doing with Lang and Sherrod against Cleveland.. they are testing the boundaries of both.. what they don't do well so to speak.

So in place of making a prediction.. I will watch it play out.

IMO. Lang seemed more the part vs the Browns.. one game down.. more to come.

Sherrod played well in the preseason opener against Cleveland, but it's clear that right now, he's more of a left tackle than a left guard. Though obviously that could change, with time and practice.



I only half watched the game one time, but I disagree with the bold. For a guy we're talking about using to protecting the franchise, I thought he looked pretty raw. I like the idea of a guy like him taking a year to mature, then stepping right into the blindside in 2012.


I'm also hoping that Lang (a guy with playoff experience) can beat out a raw, never-played-as-a-guard-in-his-life rookie.

It won't matter. Aaron Rodgers said if the Left side of the line is the best, he'll throw right handed, if the Right side of the line is best, he'll start throwing Left handed.

Darryn Colledge was "solid and reliable"? Well, I suppose he was during the 2010 season, or at least the second half of it, but during his career as a whole he's been maddeningly inconsistent. And 2010 was a contract year, so he had maximum incentive to play his best.

I didn't think Lang looked "mighty impressive for a rookie" in 2009 either. I thought he just looked like a rookie. Maybe we should start our own threads rather than starting them with these crappy Bleacher Report articles.

I'm really hoping Cliffy can play the whole year, but that will be very hard for a guy whose body has gone through so much wear and tear in the NFL. That being said I'd love if Lang outplayed Sherrod so our rookie could concentrate at another position we will need addressed in the near future.

Zero2Cool (23-Jul) : Suppose if locker room is main issue, we sitting pretty
wpr (23-Jul) : I thought so Mucky. In those useless player polls GB always rates high overall. Locker is a part of it.
