Tougher times likely are ahead for new left guard, but Packers made right move with Sitton

I talked with an NFL source over the weekend who doesn’t work for the Packers or Sitton but was familiar with the dynamic that led to the left guard’s departure.

The source said Sitton at times was a fun and engaging presence, but he also was brash and highly opinionated. He openly disparaged personnel moves, coaching decisions and his teammates’ abilities in any and every setting at the Packers’ facilities, regardless of who was in earshot. He also could be argumentative in meetings and refused to do some blocking techniques and drills on the practice field.

The source said that while Sitton was at the top of his game, the Packers acquiesced. But as the 30-year-old’s play began to slip in the last year or so, in part because of his chronic back condition, the team felt less compelled to accommodate him. And when the coaching staff saw some of that behavior filtering to the younger linemen, the team parted ways.



Lang was fine. He had help at times and other times he was on his own. There is certainly room for improvement and I don't see why he can't get better with more playing time. Lang in his first few years was a source of concern for many fans. Last year he probably out played Sitton. Perhaps the same with be said of Lane in a few years.

Packers won and Bears lost. All was right with the world.

After one game, I saw nothing to make me miss Sitton. Pass blocking was very solid, and run blocking up the middle was stronger than I've seen in years.
The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

More on Lane Taylor. 



the direction of Eddie Lacy’s plunge was impossible not to notice.

Left B gap. Behind Lane Taylor.

Coach Mike McCarthy called Taylor’s number as much as he called Lacy’s on the fourth play of the Packers' 27-23 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. Needing a yard, Lacy picked up nine behind the left side of the Packers' offensive line, extending a drive that ended with a touchdown and 7-0 lead.

Very interesting quotes from the article. If true, it makes complete sense why the Packers cut Sitton. I can believe everything the article says, just based on Sitton's personality. Those that thought Ted Thompson simply cut Sitton for no good reason were silly, anyway. Of course he had a reason, and I'm sure he agonized over it for some time. In the end, he obviously thought the best move was to move on when he did.

IMO, one game against a Defense that finished 26th in the NFL last season does not a full appraisal rate . Lane Taylor will face 2 more teams before the bye week, lets reserve our praise until all the evidence has been presented and a fairer analysis may be rendered .

Uh Smokey? no one is advocating that he is an All Pro. Just that for one game he was adequate.

And just so you know, the defense he faced is not the 2015 Jags defense. They won't be 26th.

dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
