I dont kno but u guys but out of our 2 guards i think Spitz will be the better of those two. Granted there has only been one year to watch them, i like his toughness and mentality towards the game. what are ur guys opinions about them.

Spitz easily had the best year out of the three rookie OL. However I think Colledge will develope into the best. Spitz should be solid and if nothing else Moll will be a very good backup, but I think Colledge will come out on top.

100% correct

Daryn Colledge
aka The Alaskan aka LL Cool C
Pros: nimble feet, great lower body strength, good speed, great character, intelligent
Cons: not strong enough upper-body-wise, sometimes too overconfident sometimes a liability on run plays

Jason Spitz
aka Jason "I" Spitz "Hot Fire" aka Gorgeous Jason
Pros: good upper body strength, good punch, good run blocker
Cons: needs to work on pass pro technigue, not strong enough lower-body-wise

Showdown:

Upper body strength: Spitz (25 reps of 225, College: 21)
Lower body strength 1: Colledge (665 squat, Spitz: 585)
Lower body strength 2: Colledge (34.5 inch vert, Spitz: 31)
Lower body strength 3: Colledge (9'2" broad jump, Spitz: 8'6")
Core strength: Colledge (464 hang clean, Spitz: 379)
Speed: Colledge (4.93 40, Spitz: 5.17)
Quickness 1: Spitz (4.55 20-yard shuttle, Collegde: 4.58)
Quickness 2: Colledge (7.4 three-cone drill, Spitz: 7.82)
Hand size: Colledge (9 1/2 inches, Spitz: 9)
Arm length: Colledge (33 inches, Spitz: 31)

Physically, Colledge is the better player. Mentally, I'd give that edge to Spitz right now. Both are great guys and very good friends. They're each others' competition, and motivate each other to get better.

Right now, I'd give the overall edge to Colledge. There's a reason he was drafted in the second round and Spitz in the third.

Haha, love the sig. These two have potential to be pretty good and lead the line for years to come. They both really came into their own near the end of the season. Hopefully a sophmore curse doesn't come to them.

jackalope · 03-19-2007, 05:30 PM

I think Spitz is better right now but Colledge has better potential. I really like Moll. He showed a lot of promise considering he was a TE in college and hadn't played guard since peewee.

Agree completely, College struggled mightaly early on last year and didn't even start the first few games. He did improve though and became pretty good. I still give the edge to Spitz though.

If this was a beauty contest, Jason would be the runaway winner.

Note: This is not packer related, it badgers. One of their lineman had to end his carear. Heres the story. Really too bad. He was like a 4 star recruit out of high school

Nice comparison. I favor Spitz due to his attitude right now. It reminds me to some degree of the Marco Rivera/Mike Wahle comparison. Wahle took a while to get his stuff together, and when he did it was very impressive to watch him work and dominate with his athletic talent. Marco was just a scrapper and tough as nails and he fights every down. I liked Marco more, and I like Spitz for that same reason. Maybe Colledge will kick up the attitude and savage his opponents next season, or maybe he'll become a technician (a la Ken Ruetgers, one of the best) and just be responsible for yards and points.

Hey if those two turn out like Wahle and Rivera, everyone should praise TT

we don't really have to worry about that now. i'd guess we snag someone in the latter rounds of a draft like we did with Moll.

Maybe next year though. Tauscher and Clifton are getting old.

Moll or Colledge will be one of the replacements and we only need to find one for Tauscher eventually; we'll be alright

Yeah I read that. No big loss but I was kinda rooting for him to contribute this year.

I really wonder what he could've contributed as a special teamer if he had been healthy
