What the hell is wrong with Spitz, lower back is pretty unspecific. Does he have a disc problem, nerve, muscle. Would like to have a better idea how bad off he really is.

As others said, good thing we just about our best depth a C. Wells can do the job, not a powerhouse in the run game, but he is a steady player and protects the pass pretty well.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

Looks like an interesting lineup lets hope the line can protect us from Bucs. Wells in the and Taus and Clifton on the edges looks better. Let's see if they can perform at a high level.

Spitz will be back next year. The year will be uncapped and Spitz will be a restricted free agent. GB will tender him and nobody will sign him to an offer sheet mostly due to compensation, but I'm sure this doesn't help.

Wells as the starting center is not something I'm crazy about. He's all the Pack have right now, but I feel like Spitz was a better player.

The good news, Spitz can get it done.

Our first starter to suffer a season-ending injury. At least we have one of our better backups at this position.

Wells is a try hard player.. can't question his effort. Between him and Spitz, I would rather have Spitz, but calling upon Wells. Things could be worse.

Bigger concern.. we now are depleted inside, Lang or Smith would be forced to action inside with an injury.

Depth on the oline has been a concern all season.. first at tackle, with injury now inside. The trials of a 53 man roster.

The old injury bug is rearing it's ugly head again this year.
I was hoping for a little luck this year withregard to injuries.

:ramboface: Wouldn't be too sure about Spitz's comeback as LOWER back problems are seldom permanently resolved. Believe there is one more C/G available besides Wells. Once again McCarthy faces an "O" line round table.

yoop, I think we've actually got off pretty lightly so far. I never had much hope that Clifton would last and apar from him Spitz is our first starter to be out long term (+Blackmon).

Obviously Finley and Nelson are being missed, but I would think looking at the league as a whole we're not doing too badly.

I was questioning 'in my head' about these back spasms he was having ... I deal with disc bulges everyday at work and I cant see many back spasms happening over an extended period of time without a significant type of injury such as a disc bulge.

I just hope he sees a good chiropractor before some surgeon doing him.

If he doesnt have a good chiro - I should come work for the pack ... now there would be a fun job.

beast (20-Nov) : We brought in a former Packers OL coach to help evaluate OL as a scout

beast (20-Nov) : Jets have been pretty good at picking DL

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He landed good players thanks to high draft slot. He isn't good.

Zero2Cool (20-Nov) : He can shove his knowledge up his ass. He knows nothing.

beast (20-Nov) : More knowledge, just like bring in the Jets head coach

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : What? Why? Huh?

beast (19-Nov) : I wonder if the Packers might to try to bring Douglas in through Milt Hendrickson/Ravens connections

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : The Jets fired Joe Douglas, per sources

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : Jets are a mess......

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Pretty sure Jets fired their scouting staff and just pluck former Packers.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Jets sign Anders Carlson to their 53.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : When you cycle the weeks, the total over remains for season. But you get your W/L for that selected week. Confusing.

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the total and percentage are the same as the previous weeks

packerfanoutwest (19-Nov) : the totals are accurate..nrvrtmind

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : I don't follow what you are saying. The totals are not the same as last week.

Zero2Cool (19-Nov) : Offense gets his ass in gear, this could be good.

Zero2Cool (17-Nov) : Bears get OL fixed amd we might have a problem

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Pretty sure they already have scouting reports on guys who aren't even starting for their college team. The future is now for me.

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : I tend to let Gute and Co. Worry about the future.

beast (17-Nov) : That's great news and Packers need to keep upgrading their OL, DL and DBs this off-season, so missing one guy doesn't kill them

buckeyepackfan (17-Nov) : Jaire and Evans Williams are both ACTIVE! Good news.

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : The badgers really need to change the whole offensive scheme. No draws no screens plus the quarterback is marginal

Cheesey (17-Nov) : If the Badgers had a decent QB, they would have won. The guy can't hit a wide open receiver

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : chop block

Martha Careful (17-Nov) : there was a very questionable job Block call that upon viewing replay was very borderline

beast (17-Nov) : How so? (I didn't watch)
