Packers expected to go with Dietrich-Smith over Saturday at center for Titans game
Excerpt:GREEN BAY, Wis. – Jeff Saturday has one Super Bowl ring and was looking forward to having a chance to play for another with the Green Bay Packers getting ready to return to the playoffs. His role in helping the NFC North champions try to make a deep run in the postseason has changed before the playoffs even started. Coach Mike McCarthy has decided to take Saturday, a 14-year veteran in his first season with the Packers, out of the starting lineup at center and replace him with Evan Dietrich-Smith with two games left in the regular season. Green Bay (10-4) hosts the Tennessee Titans (5-9) on Sunday. "We will probably go with Evan Dietrich-Smith to start the game," McCarthy said Friday.

Give him a chance to go see what he can do at center and see how he plays. I should be ready to go (Sunday), so I don't think that really has any kind of factor of what's happening." |

Key:
- Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
- The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
- The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).
Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
