With Scott Wells set to become a free agent in March, the Packers are considering their options at center while at the NFL Combine.
Bringing Back Wells No Sure Thing
The veteran center is coming off his best year as a pro and the Packers have few replacement options on-hand. But that doesn’t mean Scott Wells will automatically be back with the Packers in 2012.
Wells Dominating Early In Contract Year
The former seventh round pick, and practice squad member, has preserved to become a key part of the Packers’ success on offense.
Scott Wells Elevated His Game
Scott Wells has brought a level of consistency to the center position the past two years in Green Bay that played a big part in the Packers winning the Super Bowl.
Rodgers, Wells and Jackson: Keys To Protection
The last time the Packers played the Steelers, Brandon Jackson and Scott Wells were big components of the offenses success.
Handling The Cardinals’ Blitz
The Packers can expect to see a healthy dose of blitzing from the Cardinals on Sunday which, believe it or not, favors the Packers. That’s right. The way to beat Rodgers is to rush from a base set and play coverage with numbers in the secondary. The problem for the Cardinals is, outside of Darnell [...]
Wells vs. Hampton
Good point over at the GBPG regarding one of the key matchups for tomorrow’s game: When scouts talk about the keys to playing a 3-4 defense, they almost always start with a nose tackle like Casey Hampton. The Steelers’ man in the middle is perhaps the prototypical nose tackle in this scheme. He’s massive, listed [...]
Memo To Thompson: Do Not Trade Wells
Rob Demovsky, echoing Tom Silverstein and Bob McGinn, writes that the Packers are looking to trade Scott Wells. I think this would be a case of the Packers trying to get too cute at cut down time, not quite in the manner they cut their punter on the eve of the season last year, but [...]
Scott Wells Is Fine
OK, I am on vacation and should really not be posting, but I had to comment on the whole “Scott Wells was obviously unhappy” reporting that we saw yesterday and today. First of all, kudos to the Packers for putting up Wells’ locker room comments on their website. Secondly, watching Wells, he handles things with [...]
One More Reason Spitz Should Play Center
Thrown in as almost a non-event in Pete Dougherty’s overview of the offensive line is the following: Spitz is a good bet to beat out incumbent Scott Wells at center after moving among both guard spots and center in his first three seasons. Spitz’s most natural position probably is center, and Wells is coming off [...]
In Praise Of Spitz and Sitton
In the wake of Scott Wells’ mysterious concussion, Jason Spitz and Josh Sitton made the best of their second chances at the center and right guard positions respectively. I was ready for the worst when Spitz had to slide over and Sitton was inserted but I have to say, they both shocked me with their [...]
Scott Wells Had A Terrible Game
Rereading my posts from this morning, I think I would be remiss if I didn’t mention how awful Scott Wells was yesterday. He missed assignments left and right, never seemed to adjust to what the Vikings were doing with their front seven and was obviously at fault when he failed to pick up the delayed [...]
Not Soon Enough
The return of Scott Wells is welcome news. The Packers biggest problem over the course of the last three weeks (and there have been plenty) is the lack of a consistent running game. With Wells back and Spitz over at right guard for Tony Moll (who simply has no business playing guard) I fully expect [...]
Wells Is Hurt
Not that it’s breaking news, but the fact that Wells can’t make it through back-to-back practices tells you all you need to know. They need to sit him a few weeks and let Spitz play center. The Packers are planning to start Colledge at left guard and Moll at right. And again I ask – [...]
\’Finesse\’ Team Rears Its Ugly Head
Toward the end of last year, I made the observation that the Packers under Mike McCarthy had become a finesse team. Last night, McCarthy’s team played true to that moniker. Every which way, they were beat on the lines, they were beat on almost every hit, and they were clearly the team that has spent [...]
