I bet there are some available that can kick to the 20 and have a higher than 79% FG percentage.

That can kick to the 20, are you serious? You are ripping Crosby because he doesn't just kick touchbacks into the wind but you are cool with someone else just kicking it to the 20?

Never seen someone whine so much about kicking when its not even in our top five problems for the team. Incredibly petty if you ask me.

We have ripped apart those other 5 areas over the first half of the season. Don't see what is wrong with trying to widen the spectrum of conversation.

But it you prefer we can stick with Brett/TT bitching.

As for the kicking to the 20. I have said multiple times, that I am OK with giving up a little accuracy or kick off length. But I don't want to give up both. In the Viking game, the coaches decided to kick short. Why is that. The only explanation is that the did not have the confidence that Crosby could keep the ball deep enough.

I don't have the stats on Mason this year for touchbacks, but if you look over his first 2 years, I think we have a great kickoff guy.
"His 17 touchbacks in 2008 were the most by a Packers kicker since 1972 (Chester Marcol, 28). His 31 touchbacks the last two years rank seventh in the league over that span"

The only explanation to you maybe. It makes much more sense that they thought by kicking the ball high or squibbing it they had a better shot at making the tackle before he busted a 40+ yarder.

Well then I am disappointed. Kick the ball deep enough and they start at the 20. Yet our coaches think squibs and pooches were a better option than telling Crosby to kick deep.

Hell Longwell, was able to get it to the goal line, Crosby should have been able to make the stands with his leg. Since all I have ever seen people say about Longwell is that he was great a FG just couldn't kick off.

The pooch/squib gameplan makes a lot more sense than your theory of they coaches don't think Crosby can kickoff deep. 1 week after he put 3 kickoffs into the endzone vs Cribbs they aren't just for no reason thinking "Man that Crosby can't get the ball into the endzone to save his life"

LONGWELL IS LONG GONE, GET THE TRUCK OVER IT! You even mentioned Ted and Brett. WoW ... MOVE ON!

What's next, compare Wahle to Colledge? Rivera to Sitton? Move the frick on already.



You don't KNOW that he can't kick it deep. Just like I don't KNOW he was instructed to kick it high for his coverage team to get under it.

He didn't do it this past game and I feel its with good reason.

I could be wrong, but I remember him kicking them into the end zone pretty consistently.



I'm really starting to think you're just bitching about this for the sake of having something to bitch about. And now I'm feeling dumb for partaking into this continuation because you hve provided NOTHING to support your theory. Nothing but more BS crap about a player we once had and who CHOSE to leave for team with better climate OR a dome.


If you want to be petty and nitpicking at something that's not nearly worth five pages of debating... by all means. Go ahead. A wall has more understanding and reasoning ability than you've shown ME in this thread.

I guess if you are 100% happy with the kicking game, then that is fine. I am not. There is room for improvement, and since there is, there should be room for discussion.

Excuse me for trying to talk about something out of the ordinary. We can go back to the Oline, Running game, pass rush and everything else we have beat to death.

Should we start Tauscher or Barbre. Wait there is a thread about that already, with no action lately. How is McCarthy as a coach, Oh, there are about a hundred threads about that also getting no action.
