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.

He's quite confident, himself.

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...

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Jalen Ramsey wants to be traded. He's never happy is he?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : two 1sts in 2022 and two 2nd's in 2023 and 2024

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers had fortunate last three drafts.

dfosterf (15-Apr) : I may have to move

dfosterf (15-Apr) : My wife just told the ancient Japanese sushi dude not enough rice under his fish

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I think a dozen is what I need

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Go fund me for this purpose just might work. A dozen nurses show up at 1265 to provide mental health assistance.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Maybe send a crew of Angels to the Packers draft room on draft day.

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.

dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation

Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife

Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately

Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.

dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.

Zero2Cool (10-Apr) : Guessing they probably knew. Did he have cast or something on?

Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : Did they know that at the time or was that something the realized afterwards?

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Van Ness played most of season with broken thumb

wpr (9-Apr) : yay

Zero2Cool (9-Apr) : Mark Murphy says Steelers likely to protect Packers game. Meaning, no Ireland

Zero2Cool (8-Apr) : Struggling to figure out what text editor options are needed and which are 'nice to have'

Mucky Tundra (8-Apr) : *CHOMP CHOMP CHOMP*

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : WR who said he'd break Xavier Worthy 40 time...and ran slower than you

Mucky Tundra (2-Apr) : Who?

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Texas’ WR Isaiah Bond is scheduled to visit the Bills, Browns, Chiefs, Falcons, Packers and Titans starting next week.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : Spotting ball isn't changing, only measuring distance is, Which wasn't the issue.

Zero2Cool (2-Apr) : The spotting of the ball IS the issue. Not the chain gang.
