Wait, what? Dead last in net punting?· Page 6

The problem is not the punter in this case.

Kapinos is 13th in Average at 45.6 yards. 32nd in Net at 33.9 yards. That is because GB is the second worst in ret yards. 20 punts 12 returned with an average of 16 yards.

While I agree with you that you have to look at the coverage units as well, Mike McCarthy has stated for a while now that he wants a directional punter, one who will kick punts out of bounds to limit returns.

Kapinos can kick straight, but beyond that he isn't much of a directional punter. It's still an area of improvement, one which I think requires a new punter as opposed to more time for Kapinos to grow as a punter.

Still, I'm not too deflated with the job Kapinos is doing... he's miles ahead of Frost.

Ted Thompson must still be ruing the day he decided to cut Jon Ryan. He was perfectly acceptable, and provided a good skill set to work with.

i'm wondering if you have seen Cribbs play at all ? he runs there Wildcat offense and plays wr. He returns both punt and kick returns. So to say he would be buried on our bench is down right foolish, you sound like Ted Thompson and Mike McCarthy thinking we have so much talent ob this team.

We run the wildcat?
We have no depth at WR?

He'd be our KR/PR, that's about it. Oh and emergency QB since thats what he did at Kent State?

"all_about_da_packers" wrote:

He would easily be our #3 wr and we don't have anyone to run the wildcat with on our team right now. He would be far superior a returner than anything we have on our roster right now. And look how that makes a difference in a game when you have aguy back there that can take it to the house at any time.

There's no way that he could easily be our nr. 3 WR. I mean, he hasn't gone over a 100 yards receiving in his entire career, doesn't have great hands in the passing game and can't run a route to save his life (At least, the last game I watched).

As a receiver, we might as well take Swain over Cribbs.

McCarthy has stated that the wildcat isn't something for his team. If it was, I'm pretty sure that Driver could run it. Or otherwise Blackmon could've when he was healthy.

As a returner, he'd be great, though. He's one of the best in the league on both kick-off and punt returns. I wouldn't mind having him on the team at all.

F*ck the wildcat! Stupid gadget/15 minutes/flavor-o-the month play set.

Back on topic....I'm happy enough with Kapinos, and as has been stated before...he's no Frost, so we're good.

I like the wildcat if you're actually commited to it. It's not 'just a gadget'. I mean, Miami runs it for quite a few snaps per game. If you use it like that, it'll work.

Like I said, I think that DD could run it for us, but McCarthy doesn't appear to like the wildcat. Maybe it's better that way.

Ditto. You know what the wildcat is? Its called the direct snap. That's all it is. Its a direct snap to the running back. Big fucking deal. Teams have been doing it for years.

Wildcat = WAY overrated.

I don't know about that.

You overload one side of the line (Lining the LT next to the RT or vice versa), you (nearly) always run a play-action to your end around player and you have the QB lined up wide, meaning the defense has to account for him, as well, while the QB is normally a freebie on defense.

I think this is more thought out than just a direct snap to the RB. It's an entire formation. And a special one at that.

I would rather have my WR line up wide. But thats just me. Yeah lining up the QB out wide is cute, but, eh, whatever.
