Just Wondering about the Special Teams.

We had two things going for us last year, Offense and Special teams. So far in the preseason it looks promising that Offense and defense will show up every week (except BYE week). Do you think our special teams will be the same as last year or even better this year? Even if they are same as last year, I think we can make it deep into the playoffs. Let me have your input.

hmmm from what I understand our ST sucked last year.

- Poor tackeling
- Poor field position
which includes poor punting, blocking, our return guy wasnt bad but IMO I would like better

It was a High focus that Mike McCarthy and Ted Thompson would focus on ST this year and so far they have done that. Dont know how many times I have heard the words special teams this offseason.

Coverage should work better. More LBers on the team should help the performance. Return team is going to be tough. Remember that rules change have taken the wedge away, so I think it will be harder for all teams to get as many big returns.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

If we can improve on return punts and kickoffs. That could be a major improvement, and talking about punting oh boy that is yet to be found out.

blackman and nelson are good in punt returns , after that i think we need much improvement, our kr has been bad for years, and we gave up way too many big returns !!

I believe our Special Teams would do fine. Kapinos officially got the punting job and I couldn't be any happier. I'm rooting for him to be a consistent player and do well for us.

And there was something good that came out of Crosby missing on a lot of his kicks during the Atlanta game. It had McCarthy make a surprising admission that he should have had Flynn suit up as the holder. I think the holder was the main reason why Crosby did as poorly as he did that night. We're fortunate to have Flynn doing that for us though because he's really good at it, practically being the holder all his years in college except for his last year playing QB.

Zero2Cool (5h) : Sources spoke of many, many times last summer where Hackett called a play, then Rodgers changed it completely at the line

Martha Careful (10-May) : 1. this is true of all our linemen. 2. His run block is fine. 3. If all OL played like he has, we would win SB.

beast (10-May) : Meyers pass blocking is really good, his run blocking is really not.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : Packers have claimed DE Spencer Waege off of waivers from the 49ers and waived DT Rodney Mathews.

Zero2Cool (9-May) : because he's 1st

Mucky Tundra (9-May) : Myers isn't even the 3rd best C on the roster atm

Martha Careful (9-May) : I am not sure I understand the Myers hate. He was consistently our third best lineman. RG and LT were worse.

beast (9-May) : Just saying I don't think moving Myers would help Myers.

beast (9-May) : Center is usually considered the easiest position physically if you can handle the snap stuff.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : Bust it is then

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Context. Sounds like Myers won't be cross-trained. C or bust.

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : @BookOfEli_NFL Packers pass game coordinator, Jason Vrable said that Jayden Reed and Dontayvion Wicks shared a placed in Florida while train

Mucky Tundra (8-May) : For now...

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers go about evaluating their "best five," OL coach Luke Butkus makes on thing clear: "Josh Myers is our center."

beast (8-May) : Though I'm a bit surprised letting go of CBs, I thought we needed more not less

beast (8-May) : It was confusing with two DB Anthony Johnson anyways

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : The Green Bay Packers have signed WR Julian Hicks, OL Lecitus Smith (luh-SEET-us) and WR Dimitri Stanley

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Petty, but it's annoying me how the NFL is making the schedule release an event.

dfosterf (2-May) : The number on Love is going to be brutal.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : May 3rd. Extension day for Jordan Love. (soonest)

Zero2Cool (1-May) : USFL MVP QB Alex McGough moved to WR. So that's why no WR drafted!

earthquake (1-May) : Packers draft starters at safety ever few years. Collins, Clinton-Dix, Savage

beast (1-May) : Why can't the rookies be a day 1 starter? Especially when we grabbed 3 of them at the position

dfosterf (1-May) : Not going to be shocked if Gilmore goes to the Lions.

dfosterf (1-May) : I hear you dhazer, but my guess would be Gilmore Colts and Howard Vikings from what little has been reported.

Mucky Tundra (30-Apr) : S learn from McKinney who learns from Hafley who learns from the fans. Guaranteed Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (30-Apr) : could*

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Safeties should learn from Xavier.

dhazer (29-Apr) : And what about grabbing a Gilmore or Howard at CB ? Those are all Free Agents left

dhazer (29-Apr) : out of curiosity do they try and sign Simmons or Hyde to let these young safeties learn from, they can't be day 1 starters.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : I miss having Sam Shields.
