McCarthy picks Colledge to start for Packers

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) - Daryn Colledge will start at left guard for the Green Bay Packers, the same spot where he finished last season.

Coach Mike McCarthy made the announcement Sunday at the team's first practice following a 59-24 preseason victory over Indianapolis on Thursday night. Colledge took all the snaps with the No. 1 offensive line while first-round pick Bryan Bulaga was sidelined by a hip injury.

Bulaga took part only in the jog-through portion of Sunday's practice, leaving him out of the race to start as a rookie. Earlier in camp, Jason Spitz and Allen Barbre challenged for Colledge's starting job and came up short as well.

Colledge has started 60 regular-season games since the Packers drafted him in the second round in 2006 out of Boise State, with 55 of those starts coming at left guard.

Wade texted me to say that he heard from a source within the Packers organization itself that McCarthy made this move purely to inflate Colledge's trade value, so it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Colledge has proven inconsistent enough that I wouldn't be shocked to see him not starting sooner rather than later. We'll see though. Maybe with Bulaga and Lang pushing him, he'll keep up the play. He's coming off his best preseason. However, we've heard that before.

I..disagree.

The ENTIRE line has been playing very good. Even against the rare preseason blitz, they've done very well, including Colledge. After an iffy first season and a half, he's actually been pretty reliable, but nobody seems to care.

I'm excited about the line. I don't want to trade ANYBODY(even spitz) because...Olines need depth too.

I don't get why people are surprised these guys are confident and cocky... they kind of have to be... heck when asked weather he was one of the best two ILBers on the Packers, Bishop said he was one of the best ILBers in the NFL... when asked if he knew fans were calling for him to be cut Bush acted surprised like it's the first time he's ever heard that and he thought everyone liked him.... I'm not going to be surprised if they are cocky... and lets be honest Colledge has started every single practice at LG and every game so should be expect to not be the starter? I think many players would tell you you can't think that way... got to be confident and a bit cocky if not a lot...

Hope Colledge keeps it up. If not, he'll be yanked. Simple as that for him really. Hell of a motivator. Plus, he's also playing for a contract, so that's got to weigh on him as well.

Youth at his heels and the need for a long term deal. Nice combination to make him play at a high level.

How is it going to affect value? ... if your offering him in a trade then clearly your not the starter you had in mind. I don't think this would affect trade value...

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Or if KC needs to win for the #1 seed

Mucky Tundra (20-Dec) : Right now it looks like the only prime worthy games are Det-Minny and KC-Denver (if Denver can clinch a wild card spot)

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : LaFleur "opportunity that Ted Thompson thought was too good to pass up"

Zero2Cool (19-Dec) : Jordan Love pick was Ted Thompson's idea.

Zero2Cool (17-Dec) : whiteout uniforms in general are pretty lame and weak. NFL greed at it's worst
