Packer Specialists

This is a small group, three players:

Kicker - Mason Crosby
Punter - Tim Masthay
Long Snapper - Brett Goode

Let's start with the kicker - Mason Crosby!  What a year for him!  21 of 33 Field Goal Attempts!!  Not very good!  In fact, that is LAST in the NFL of all regular season kickers!!!  Bring in the competition!!!
This was the yardage breakdown:

Less than 30 yards    5-5    100%
Between 30-40 yards  5-7    71%
Between 40-50 yards  9-12  75%
Over 50 yards             2-9     22%

Crosby seemed to lose his confidence - not good for a kicker!  Bring in competition!!

Punter Tim Masthay.  Most people look at net yards - Masthay was 27 out of the 32 starting punters.  Not very good.  The top punter, Cardinals Dave Zastudil 41.4 yards, Masthay was at 38.9 yards.  A better stat was Masthay was 7th in the league in punts inside the 20 yard line!  I like this!  Overall, I would keep him, but again bring in some competition!

Long Snapper, Brett Goode seemed to be adequate.  It is an important position, but sad to use a roster spot for this!!

Tim Masthay

Overall, Long Snapper, Punter - OK.  Our kicker?  Needs to compete!!!
