Sherrod inactive tonight...

Man, I knew he didn't have the best preseason, but damn, I never saw this coming.

Got beat out at LG but he isn't even active?

Following are whispers we've been hearing from around the NFC:

• The word out of Green Bay is that first-round draft pick Derek Sherrod has been pretty disappointing up to now. Sherrod failed to take advantage of getting the first crack at the starting job at left guard, which now apparently belongs to T.J. Lang. Moreover, Sherrod, who is expected to be the heir apparent to OLT Chad Clifton, has not looked very good at tackle, either. Marshall Newhouse, who can play both tackle spots, shapes up as a much better bet as the top backup tackle over Sherrod, who can only play left tackle and, we hear, might be spending most of his time on the inactive list once the regular season starts.

...who's played LT since 7th grade, started for 4 years in the SEC and their first move with him is make him play guard and then deactivate him because he doesn't look good in a lockout-shortened training camp. Nice.

I imagine Sherrod is ready to go all Tobias Singleton on them.

Life lesson #1 for him. Hope he makes the most when he gets another chance. Seems he got beat by a guy who wanted it more than he did.

I believe he's inactive because he got hurt about the time of the third preseason game. With regard to the LG experiment, the Packers did the same thing with Brian Bulaga last year. I think Sherrod will be a tackle for the Packers in the future.

They said Sherrod would be a good one but just not ready yet.</p>
