The Packers will feel the loss of Micah Hyde all over the field in 2017, obviously in the secondary but also on special teams, where he returned 76 punts over his four-year career in Green Bay.
Putting aside for a moment the fact that a punter controversy is by all means the silliest position competition that could go down during training camp, the Packers sure do seem to have one on their hands.
This is the second offseason in a row that the Packers have been forced to bring in competition to push Tim Masthay for his job.
And while In 2015, Cody Mandell wasn't able to succeed Masthay, mainly for his poor holding for kicker Mason Crosby, Wisconsin native and rookie Peter Mortell is posing a much more serious threat to Masthay's future in Green Bay.
Later today or tomorrow ( by 3 P.M. Central) we will learn the final makeup of 53-man roster which will open the season for the Green Bay Packers at Chicago on Sunday, September 13. Today, with a full body of work now in the books, we roll out our final Version 3.0.
During every Green Bay Packers training camp there seems to be a “camp-darling”, a dark horse who emerges out of nowhere to tantalize and excite the fan base. Last year that player was wide out Jeff Janis. This year Janis looks to earn more playing time.
If you took a poll of Packers fans you will find that they are divided on how well Zook will coordinate special teams. There are those who see Zook as just another McCarthy buddy who didn’t make much of a difference last year when he was an assistant. Others look at his coaching body of work and come away impressed.
Teacher plays the role of pupil as Mike McCarthy and the rest of the Packers coordinators receive their report card grade for the 2014 season from Cheesehead TV.
Mike McCarthy gets a 'B-' and Dom Capers gets a 'D' in our annual report card grades. Find out what the rest of the coordinators and the specialists got inside.
Mason Crosby has silenced his doubters with a solid start to the season. Not many kickers would have gotten this kind of second chance, and he's making the most of it with a spectacular season.
So, Mason Crosby's amazing 2011 season is now his benchmark for success this year? Let's go inside the numbers and see just how impressive that season really was.
After a 3-for-8 performance on field goals at Family Night, some folks are concerned about Mason Crosby. I'm beyond concerned. It's time for Crosby to go.
Johnathan Franklin and Jeremy Ross have the potential to replace Cobb on returns, but the Packers have to be able to trust them if that's going to happen.
