He's no Cannonball either
So much for the Kentucky Bluegrass blend.
I was going to vote Herb otherwise....
I saw Schum on the IR list a couple weeks ago. I know it could be a contractual matter but tell me why he is still on this team?
That list on IR explains why there was no room for an average guy like Barclay.
Not really......
Holy f*ck...

I know he wasn’t a 2nd round pick but give me Ulrick John at this point. It can’t be worse.

Sure, go through all the tape on Spriggs and find the worse plays to show. Probably had to sift through a handful of plays to find those three.
More likely, he looked at the first 3 plays Spriggs played and thought "yep, good enough. There's all the examples I need".
If this wasn't so sad, it'd be comical watching this. And to think the Bears nearly took him before Ted. Fukk.
As bad as Spriggs looks, the fact that Allen Barbre, Marshall Newhouse, and Breno Giacomini still are playing in the NFL after looking awful with the Pack means that maybe Spriggs isn't hopeless even though he looks like it now.

Those other guys were 4th and 5th round picks. Spriggs was a second round pick that they gave up their 2nd, a 4th, and a 7th to get.
Apparently they're giving him every opportunity to show he can adequately play RT. Probably have seen the last of Bulaga as a Packer.
I can't blame MM for trying to see what Spriggs can do at T now. They have to figure it out now before the draft/FA. Because if he can't cut it, then the Packers have to make a decision to go elsewhere in 2018 at RT.
Bulaga is certainly a PUP player in 2018, even with a full recovery they don't believe he could play until November. He also has a large cap number in 2018. So yes, I could very well see him cut.
Watched the All-22/offense in the PIT game. Spriggs played well in the run game. Still needs work in pass protection, though he did have a few plays where he looked like he knew what he was doing - very active hands on the good plays, just not consistent. Also, there were plays where it looked like he did not know the blocking call as he was looking for someone to match up with - it was odd.
Sounds like the patience has run out for Spriggs. A little further in the clips from Rodgers about Pettine and the defense are very encouraging. More than a little concerning if he is talking up the D as a contrast to the lack of leadership on the offensive side as suggested.

Cogbot was the best coach on the offensive side of the ball last year.
Belichek like organization.
Very discouraging. Gotta wonder what's going through that guy's head...does he care to improve or is he content just being on the roster? LT is the 3rd highest paid position on a team generally (after QB and pass rusher), the top LTs are averaging over $15K per year. Spriggs has the physical ability to be among that group, but for some reason even that kind of money is not a motivator to improve. Guy must just be Homer Simpson in Hercules's body.
Maybe he's just not that good and the rap on him coming out of college was 100% accurate. **** pick.
Agreed.
By the way, wasn't Cogbot one of your whipping boys two or three years ago? Now he is one of the best?
X4 never forgets😂😂
Then maybe you should read up. That's not a compliment.
I can do this all day.

I'll go one step further. I wonder whether he's "playing" himself off the team. Purposefully tanking so he'll get cut and get a start somewhere else. He was "at a loss" as to why Bell got the start ahead of him in week 1 of the preseason as well.
MM had a very vague/odd explanation and Spriggs seemed dumbfounded as to why he was sinking further down the depth chart.
At this point, I'd keep him only because they have such little depth. But I would bury him even behind Pankey now.
Fu**
The write up on JSonline about Bell doesn't say much for Pankey either. Tackle depth is as bad as OLB depth.
OL depth is a potential disaster. Stuffed Jebediah absence hurts. Spriggs lack of any measurable development is simply crushing.
Id put OL depth well ahead of OLB depth as far as concern goes. You can’t potentially lose Rodgers again If Fackrell or Biegel are forced to play meaningful snaps because Perry or Clay goes down. You cartainly can if Bak or Bulaga are lost.
Really hoping some team jettisons a marginal T over the next two weeks after cuts are made.

half of this board did not even know daunt was an actual word until just now.
Like I said, i do not disagree with you. Just provide a viable alternative.
Without calling me names, please.
I can't imagine Spriggs would tank on purpose, especially since he sucked last year and there were several opportunities to grab a starting job with Bulaga and Bakh hurt at various points. Honestly I think the Packers were hoping Spriggs would step up and Bulaga would get Wally Pipped so they could dump his salary...or he could have started in the interior. I think he's just another Eddie Lacy, doesn't love football enough to get better and live up to his potential.
Think it's probably no more complicated than the guy simply can't play and that's the nature of the draft. You'd hope to at least get a serviceable backup out of that much investment and even that is appearing increasingly unlikely.

You're both idiots.

True, and I apologize for this.
Sometimes I forget myself when dealing with certain types of people.
