I'm pretty solid from about 10 yards in.

Wonder how many X4 GMs wanted to dump Crosby when he had his bad stretch a few years ago...?
Give the kid a chance.
Has he had a go at kick offs?
That's where Crosby really dropped off.
This is great!! We get to BOO Zeke Saturday night.
@ammo posted:How many games are you willing to lose by 1 or 3 points?
All of them? You are the ones telling me we canβt win more than 9 games.

Also noted in the linked story that Ty Montgomery is still kickin' around the league. It said he is injured (happened when practices began, apparently) so he's sidelined for now.
There may not be anyone on the roster that he ever played with...
Ty: so much talent, 10 cent brain
Can't say you're wrong, YA.
But I do believe he was never used correctly in Green Bay, being primarily a 1-position-at-a-time player never did work for him.
Not saying he was on the verge of greatness, but he should've been able to line up at any WR position, as a TE/extra lineman, and as a rusher or receiver from FB or RB (much like A Jones). Even if he wasn't a primary target, he could've decoyed or drawn coverage away, or had a blocking role similar to Lizard.
Now, it could be that he couldn't learn how to do these things, or just wasn't athletic enough to accomplish them, but I do think he could've done much better in a situational role rather than being an every-down back or receiver.
Just as long as that situational role did NOT include KR...
I was at that Rams game in LA where that fool took the kickoff out of the end zone and fumbled with two minutes left in the game depriving ARod of his comeback.
he was pissed about something that day as I saw him hurling his helmet on the sideline before that.

I loved Mason, when he was here. He won some big games, for the Packers. I was not enamored with his seeming inability to kick the ball out of the end zone. He always gave the receiving team a chance to get good field position and especially so, if our gunners were blocked out of the play. Give me a guy who can consistently boot it out of the end zone, on kick-offs and also one who doesn't miss PATs, FGs. I'll give Carlson a chance to improve, but if he starts costing us games, it will be time to go. Bissaccia has some work to do. Maybe the kid just needs to get some confidence and the fear of God put into him. Bissaccia is just the guy to do that.

Hmm I like both but not together, overkill. Now if you mix top w/ zubazβ¦
I'll wait until I see MLF wearing them on the sideline.

I was there also. We knew Packers were going to win that game. Then a brain fart overwhelmed Montgomery and the rest is history.
Yup, I was also there. One funny thing I recall. Erin Andrews was the sideline reporter. When it started to look like the Pack was in a good position to win she and her crew ran over to the Packers side of the field. When Ty screwed the pooch they ran back to the Rams side.
Looked like a ping pong game.

To be fair, they don't want touchbacks on kick offs because teams believe they can stop teams from getting to the 25 yard line more often. Of course that assumes you don't have crap special teams and coaches.
I was at a Rams/Packer game at the coliseum, but the turd of that game was Scott Hunter.
Also got to see the Packers lose at the Big A in Anaheim.

Transition him to safety?
Where he'd fight it out with Mr. Biles.
More MLF from today:
@TomSilverstein: LaFleur said they are trying to find the best five in the secondary and said he hasn't ruled out moving CB Rasul Douglas to safety. He said it depends on how things pan out with the rest of the secondary.

If they sit back in the patented Joe Barry soft zone coverage, it doesn't really matter who is on the field.

Apparently, the new secondary coach is preaching tight coverage and Barry is all in.

Move Rasul instead.
But, but Colin Cowturd says there is no "wow" with Jordan Love.
Love to Dillon on a swing pass. Incomplete.

Love all day to throw finds Watson on a deep crosser. Complete. Defender falls down trying to break it up. Watson takes it to the house. Probably 70 yard td. Awesome play. Love right on the money.
Follows it up to Toure for aboutβ¦
It's also windy as fuck out there today per reports...
Anders Carlson makes his first five kicks of the day. Good from PAT, 42, 44, 49 and 51.
β Matt Schneidman (@mattschneidman) August 16, 2023
Jordan Love completed 7-of-10 passes during first team period against Patriots defense. Lot of short and intermediate stuff. Couple bullets complete over the middle. One perfectly lofted go ball deep left that Watson had go through his hands.

That was Herman's thought as well. Corner is no different than the OL- want your best out there on the field.
Well so much for that. Carlson misses a 40-yard field goal at the end of a well-executed two-minute drive by Love, who hit Doubs twice and Watson once all for first Downsβs

Kicking going to be an adventure this season.
Packers No. 2 offense wins two minute on a dime down the right sideline from Sean Clifford to Malik Heath. Heath made a diving contested catch and hit the pylon. That was a beauty.

Lions are favored.
Patriotsβ beat writer
@ezlazar: Christian Watson and Romeo Doubs were really impressive today for the Packers. #Patriots secondary had its hands full.
I would say @ezlazar is lying. The Pats secondary never caught them.

Hopefully, the new coach keeps them true.
