I think this article is a stretch, Dome has shit to do with anything. Kapinos has been pretty consistent this year so far.

Week 1 6 punts 268 yard gross. 15 return yards for net of 213.
Week 2 6 punts 259 yard gross. 114 return yards for net of 145.
Week 3 4 punts 200 yard gross. 23 return yards for net of 177.

What sucked week 2 was the coverage.

The punting itself has been very good. even this last week, he nailed one about the 7 but there was nobody around to down the ball until it bounced back to what the 15 or so.

I seem to remember even B.J. Sander getting off to a decent start in the warmer-weather and in domes, and we all know how that panned out. I hope Kapinos works out, but he's not won me over just yet.

I'm amused by how many of our members seem to have forgotten that Kapinos was our punter for the last quarter of the 2008 season -- during the cold weather they are all so eager to see him perform in.

ya I remember those games - I remember the first game he didnt do so well but Mike McCarthy was like it was his first game so hell get it...

now all we need is a better return man (ya I'm not exactly a fav of blackmon ...) too bad we didnt pick up harvin. The guy can return punts, catch and run ...

I like woodhead on the jets practice squad (can we please pick him up ...) he can return kicks and run ...(better then sutton IMO).

He wasn't exactly great for those four games though, with a 39.2 yard gross and 34.5 net. For reference B.J. Sander was cut after posting very similar numbers in 2005, 39.2 gross, 33.9 net; and Frost was cut after posting better overall numbers 42.1 gross, 36.1 net - despite with a fair few shanks.

The point I was trying to make (above) is that Kapinos' supposed improvement this year can only really be assessed when the cold weather comes.

Warm or Cold, Frost sucked. An improvement during the Warm time, good times by all. And lets not forget, whether its Warm or Cold, there is still a thing called wind that is a nemesis to every kicker/punter in the game. (well, unless it's blowing into their back, lol)

It probably isn't a good thing for Kapinos that it's even an argument (albeit a bad one) with Frost.. :icon_smile:

Details of Kapinos kicks last 4 games last year, and my ranking of bad, decent, good, great.

Wk 14 vs Houston
3 bad kicks: 25 yards from 50, Touchback from Hou 49, 37 yard from GB 18
2 decent: 48 yards from GB 31, 47 from GB 35
2 Good: 41 yards from Hou 49, 34 yards from Hou 44.
1 Great: 35 yards from Hou 38.

Wk 15 vs Jac
1 Decent: 48 yards from GB 27
1 Good: 39 yards from 50

Wk 16 vs Chi
1 bad: 33 yards from GB 42
2 Decent: 44 yards from GB 29, 44 yards from GB 24
1 Good: 30 yard from Chi 45

Wk 17 vs Det
1 bad: 28 yards from GB 29
2 great: 30 yards from Det 39, 55 yards from GB 35

Average yards don't tell the story. Outside of the first game, he had two bad punts that were short when there was room for a full kick. A big reason he average is short is because he had 6 kicks that were attempts to kill the ball.
