Bulaga lost his to injury. The same can apply to the center position.

Tretter's agent is saying this isn't anything "significant"...counter to the stuff being put out by the Packers.

Agent said depending on how Packers treat it (agent thinks it's a bone bruise) he could be back as early as 3 weeks. That would be 1 game missed.

Sounds like, as of now, this injury has been over reported...how refreshing that would be for a change.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

This sucks, but I'm betting nobody else in the league is feeling sorry for The Pack, so just gotta move on.

1 plus with Linsley is he did play for Urban Meyer, who depends on the center to do all the line adjustments and blocking adjustment calls, so he has had that experience, with Lang and Sitton on either side, we can only hope for the best.

I long for the days when players use to rub some dirt on it and play through the pain. Sit Tretter, I guess and let Linsley play. Hell, they're both green and grass anyway. You think Seattle blitzes up the gut all night?

Well, that just make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

I am chosen by many but taken by no one.

What if Linsley plays extremely well for the first few weeks of the season? Do you dare go back to Tretter if the team is 3-0?

This could work out extremely well IF Linsley can play. I'd leave Linsley at C and make Tretter, with his versatility, the top backup on the line... the Don Barclay role, if you will.

The reality is a rookie center has less than 11 days to prepare to play against the defending super bowl champions on the road instead of the guy who has worked with Rodgers all off-season at the position. It sucks, but it will have to something the offense goes through together. As Corey said today: "The urgency is through the roof."

If it was rocking that night, just wait until Thursday Night when they're celebrating their ring. That place will be more insane than it usually is. An experienced center is going to have trouble in that building on any night, but this one will make it even harder.

This is where your great stories are born... Adam Timmerman having to face the formidable Niners front with Bryant Young and Dana Stubblefield. It was a playoff game and we had to start a 7th rounder from the SDSU Jackrabbits and he was up to the task. He was outstanding and parlayed that into a big FA deal with STL, if memory serves. James Campen wasn't our OL coach then, though.

I was one of the few who thought we were going to beat Seattle. It is hard to think that with a rookie center who has taken ZERO snaps with the ones prior to today. Not one single snap to Rodgers. Pressure up the middle will be unreal from the Seahawks. It could very easily turn into a route real fast. You worry about Rodgers health in that environment considering what happened last time in that 1st half.

Let's see what that kid can do...he came from basically a professional program under Meyer in Columbus. Pull a Timmerman young man. We need ya.

We drew the toughest game on paper for our first game. I just wish MM let's the dog out and let's see where we land vs. his usual keep it close away philosophy.
