Hard lessons prepare Green Bay OL for tough job

Posted November 14, 2012 on AP on Fox
PLAYERS: Evan Dietrich-Smith,  Aaron Rodgers,  Bryan Bulaga
TEAMS: Green Bay Packers,  Detroit Lions
Evan Dietrich-Smith hears all the nice things Aaron Rodgers and Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy are saying about him and does what he always does. He gets back to work. Two years after he was cut by the Packers at the end of training camp and spent most of the season looking for work, Dietrich-Smith has become indispensable in Green Bay. Versatile enough to play any spot on the offensive line, the Packers have so much faith in their main backup that they have no plans to water down the offense for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions despite losing starting left tackle Bryan Bulaga for the rest of the season with a hip injury. --- Online: http://pro32.ap.org/poll and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL

Rodgers extra challenging for Lions

Via Fox Sports  |  November 15, 2012
First, he sighed. Detroit Lions middle linebacker Stephen Tulloch then replied not with a name but a jersey number - "12" - when asked what had stood out about Green Bay's offense during his pregame video study. That's the kind of dehumanizing effect Aaron Rodgers can have on opposing defenses. No NFL quarterback is hotter entering the FOX America's Game...
