Predicting Titans at Packers; Saturday benched as Donald Driver comments on departure

Found December 21, 2012 on Players View: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Donald Driver,  Jeff Saturday,  Evan Dietrich-Smith,  Greg Jennings
TEAMS: Green Bay Packers,  Tennessee Titans

Does center Jeff Saturday regret not following Peyton Manning to Denver now that the Broncos are riding high and he just got benched?

 The veteran Pro Bowl center was given the hook on Friday to make way for the emergence of Evan Dietrich-Smith  at that position. Saturday comments on the move came across as diplomatic yet disappointed.

Saturday is not the only Packers veteran to feel the squeeze. Recievers Donald Driver and Greg Jennings discussed what it will be like to move on from Green Bay once this season is over.
