Last I checked the punter is still considered a part of the team.

This smells of a cut and resign type of situation. Only with a tryout for a replacement in the middle. Based on those stats, it doesn't seem to make sense. Masthay has better distance average over his career than this kid does in his time playing and he kicked in warm weather. His average isn't likely to get better in the cold weather of Dec in GB.

Masthay has never been the best punter at flipping field position, but what he has been good at is angle kicking and dropping the ball inside the 20.

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

The GB defense was #15 in yards, if they were 10 yards better /game they'd have been #8. Will Schum cost us 10 yards per game? Will he cost us 2-3-4 FGs this year?

Cold weather, I'm not too worried about; but it seems his coldest game was about 40 degrees in Carolina. So in cold games will he cost s 20 yards per game?

Here's my biggest problem: How steady are Schum's nerves in a big game or crunch time punting or holding?

Here's a super big problem: how do Ted Thompson and the staff know about his nerves in big games or crunch?

One way to find out his nerves is to have a competition, say, "Schum here's the ball, these next 4 punts v. KC will determine whether you make $500K or have to live in your mama's basement working part time as a greeter in Walmart."

The second part of this is how Ted opperates. He empties the cupboard of people with familiarity (albeit underwhelming performance) for a total unknown who on paper appears worse than your previous 2 options. This is the guy pulling the trigger on this roster the next few days.

PFWT mentioned something I thought of too. Can you re-sign a cut to save a few hundred k in cap?

We are all worried about the holding job because for years we had to deal with princess Ryan Longwell that always blamed the holder for any mistake and was so picky we had to carry Doug Pederson with our team even when he was like 65 years old. On those dark ages we effectively carried a "holder" in our roster.

Crosby and most of the NFL kickers aren't so picky. Granted a bad hold can make him miss a FG but he is not really picky about how the hold should be as long as it is good to kick the ball.

So I'd relax about the holding and really panic about the punting.

Are you scared? This is from last season:

(4:40) 5-J.Schum punts 23 yards to JAC 22, Center-48-A.DePaola, downed by TB-46-J.Lane.

Not scared enough!

I'm a lot more concerned about Dline and their endurance than the fucking punter. But hey, that's just me!

Masthay was given first crack but when he was continually obliterated by our recently cut 4th string center it was clear the team had to move on to get more from their punter. How could we in good conscience waste another roster spot on a punter who couldn't play DL?

I just hope Schum doesn't suffer a right leg injury in game or we'll just have to go for it every time on 4th down not to mention his absence weakening the DL rotation. Oh, and if he's our holder, I guess I hope he doesn't suffer any hand injuries either while he's rotating in with the big uglies.

Ted Thompson sits on his hands per former GM: "because they’ve had 25 fricking years of great quarterbacks. Of course it works. Try it without a special quarterback."

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

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers actually had Ray Lewis on the phone.

Zero2Cool (8-May) : Packers wanted to draft Ray Lewis. Ravens stole him.

Martha Careful (6-May) : Happy 93rd Birthday to the Greatest Baseball Player of All-Time...Willie Mays

Zero2Cool (6-May) : Walter Stanely's son

buckeyepackfan (6-May) : and released CB Anthony Johnson and DL Deandre Johnson and waived/injured WR Thyrick Pitts (thigh-rick).

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.

Mucky Tundra (4-May) : @mattschneidman Matt LaFleur on how he tore his pec: “Got in a fight with the bench press. I lost.”

Zero2Cool (3-May) : Jordan Love CAN sign an extension as of today. Might tak weeks/months though

TheKanataThrilla (3-May) : Packers decline 5th year option for Stokes

Mucky Tundra (3-May) : @ProFootballTalk Jaylen Warren: Steelers' special teams coach has discussed Justin Fields returning kicks.

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Season officially ending tonight for Bucks ... sad face

Zero2Cool (2-May) : Giannis Antetokounmpo is listed as out for tonight's game.

dfosterf (2-May) : Surprisingly low initially is my guess cap wise, but gonna pay the piper after that

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.

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : Not that he's making excuses, just pointing it out

Zero2Cool (29-Apr) : That's for dang sure. Make our erratic kicker have no excuse!

packerfanoutwest (28-Apr) : having a great long snapper is gold

Zero2Cool (28-Apr) : LaFleur looking like he had some weight. Coachin will do that lol
