That Josh Sitton at Tackle Experiment is Over

Josh Sitton

It was probably dead on arrival, but the Green Bay Packers have formally declared the Josh Sitton at left tackle experiment deceased.

“Josh Sitton needs to play guard. That’s where he’ll play this week. He’ll play left guard,” coach Mike McCarthy said Thursday morning.

Sitton was moved from left guard to left tackle in week 17, as starting left tackle David Bakhtiari continued to nurse an ankle injury.

That move was made after watching Don Barclay struggle as Bakhtiari’s replacement the week before. The Packers’ remaining backup tackle, Josh Walker, was an even bigger disaster filling in at right tackle for Bryan Bulaga briefly in that same game.

Bakhtiari’s absence seemingly left the Packers with three options at left tackle.

  1. Someone they knew was going to be awful (Barclay or Walker)
  2. Their backup center J.C. Tretter, who played left tackle in college
  3. Their best offensive lineman, Josh Sitton

Sitton, who had never played tackle prior to the Minnesota game, quickly demonstrated that just because you’re a good lineman, doesn’t mean you’re a good left tackle.

After the game, Sitton was quick to point out that he’s not a left tackle and seemed to suggest he didn’t appreciate being forced to play there. And that’s the typical reaction of a guy who doesn’t like the results after he was forced to try something new.

So the Packers will hope Bakhtiari can go this week.

If he can’t, our bet is the Packers will either use Tretter at left tackle or they’ll move Bulaga to the left side and start either Tretter or Barclay on the right.

    Barclay is a disaster…Walker too…I would hope both will be gone in a couple of weeks. And to put a standup guy like Sitton in that situation…someone else should go as well. Treated probably could do it but we wouldn’t know. Desperation changes never work out. These people are professionals looking like crass amatuers.

      The 0 line itself is a disaster, as well as the guy providing somewhat capable depth in case of injury. Maybe Big Ted thinks no one will be injured and depth isn’t that important (enter UDFA’S and rookie with no game experience) and Don Barclay, who everyone and their Grandma knows can’t pass block.

      I think this team needs to get rid of everyone that isn’t producing, and currently is playing off the success of 2010, coaches and executives included.

    I don’t understand how this line regressed this much from last year
