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."

dfosterf (4h) : Michael Macelvie- NFL teams know how to draft- Why don"t they?

dfosterf (4h) : Youtube

Zero2Cool (9h) : Packers were not selected for the 2025 Hall of Fame game.

dfosterf (11h) : PFOW Out of our division would be a good thing imo

Zero2Cool (13h) : Jameson Williams is done at 24 years old? What? He's a WR, not QB. I'm missing something here haha

wpr (13h) : Tomorrow is almost here.

packerfanoutwest (13h) : would you want him if Pack needed a back up qb?

packerfanoutwest (13h) : JW is done......stick a fork in him

Zero2Cool (15h) : You should. He goes to AFC that helps Packers.

packerfanoutwest (23-Apr) : don't care

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Lions shopping Jameson Williams?

packerfanoutwest (22-Apr) : Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst says Green Bay’s roster can win, even without adding anyone in the draft.

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : It's a poor design. New site has SignalR like our gameday chat

wpr (22-Apr) : Ah today's Shout was very quick to post.

wpr (22-Apr) : now 3

Zero2Cool (22-Apr) : Who? What?

beast (22-Apr) : What is he supposed to say? He doesn't want players currently on the team?

Martha Careful (21-Apr) : meh

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : Sounds like Walker and Wyatt will be with Packers for beyond 2026

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : It's so awesome.

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : new site fan shout post fast

wpr (21-Apr) : Slow posting in Fan shout.

wpr (21-Apr) : Only 4

Zero2Cool (21-Apr) : If only we had a topic to read about and discuss it. That's something new website must have!!!

dfosterf (21-Apr) : Justice Musqueda over at Acme Packing put up an excellent synopsis of the Packers 1st round options this am

wpr (19-Apr) : 5 days

beast (18-Apr) : 6 days

wpr (17-Apr) : 7 days

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : sounds like Packers don't get good compensation, Jaire staying

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Nobody coming up with a keep, but at x amount

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Trade, cut or keep

dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire

dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

dfosterf (16-Apr) : The agent would arguably violate the law if he were to tell the Packers

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.

Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.

dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"

dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

dfosterf (16-Apr) : What is the downside in making a calculated reduced offer to Jaire?

Zero2Cool (15-Apr) : Packers are receiving interest in Jaire Alexander but a trade is not imminent
