The Green Bay Packers haven’t been very good at guard this season. Obviously, the days of an in-their-prime tandem of Josh Sitton and T.J. Lang are long gone.
The Packers highest-graded guard on the season is Justin McCray at 69.2. He hasn’t played since week 3, first because of injury and then because of Mike McCarthy’s infinite wisdom. Lane Taylor (63.4) has been average and Byron Bell (50.0) has been substandard.
In hindsight, the move to these two guys — or two guys just like them — was inevitable.
Sitton is 32 and was put on injured reserve by the Miami Dolphins in September.
