Farewell, Ginger Wolverine...
The death of Dr Shankenstein.
To Wootah's point, does the new guy have red hair, too?
This is some weird Ted voodoo. This kids numbers aren't great from last year. Was he a monster in college?
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
The only thing I can think of is that maybe he is consistently mediocre, whereas Masthay had more radical extremes. The most disturbing thing with Masthay last year was that many of his bad punts came at times when a decent punt was needed the most. Perhaps Schum's consistent mediocrity is preferable in those situations.Originally Posted by pbmax
Then again, maybe the reason was as simple as deciding that either one will provide only mediocre punting, and there is no sense in paying Masthay $1.2 M when you can get the same result from Schum for a minimum salary (which I presume is about all that he received).
Agree with the 2nd point unless there is some big issue that is unknown.
Masthay really seemed to get a handle on the Aussie style punting but that got away from him over the last 2 years. And like Jon Ryan before him, his best punts seemed to come when he was already at midfield.
Could always be that whatever tick they thought he developed that hurt him has not really gone away.
I just hope they did not cut more upside (Mortell) to get a guy with 1 year game experience (and 3 years of camp).

You are right about that Aussie style punt. 3-4 years ago there were several articles about Masthay being one of the first to really master it, being able to dial in whatever distance he needed. The last couple years too many of his "inside the 20" kicks that look to be positive results were between the 15 and 20, so not really all that successful.
Could be that under the "it takes three years for a punter to develop" Ted figures, based on the scouting reports, that Schum is ready to explode onto the national punting scene.
Or it could be that he's paying less for the same mediocrity this year, and has already whispered to Mortell (is that the spelling?) to practice up and come back next year.

I thought I read somewhere that Schum's hang time was better than Masthay's...
...or to stay by the phone in case they want him sometime in the next couple weeks. Schum could be there more on a tryout than anything else. Heck, after tomorrow night they might even bring Masthay back. I have a feeling they aren't done with the punting position yet.
A Derrick Frost sighting is surely in the works.
Crosby's head must be spinning.

Mike Sherman would never be caught napping, or hmmm, with his pants down like this. He'd have two punters on the roster at all times. In case a waiver struck unexpectedly.

No, his hair is dark brown.
I'm ashamed of myself, but I decided to take a trip down Packer punter memory lane at packers.com. I see Masthay is tied with David Beverley and Don Bracken as longest serving. Perhaps that's why people are so weepy.

I miss the Bryan Barker and Ryan Flinn golden era.
Why do I remember Ray Stachowicz and Bucky Scribner so well? We must have punted a lot back then.
David Beverly seemed like a skinny jeans kind of guy, I remember that. The kind of guy that would sit cross-legged on the floor at a party even when there were still chairs left.
[QUOTE=George Cumby] ...every draft (Ted) would pick a solid, dependable, smart, athletically limited linebacker...the guy who isn't doing drugs, going to strip bars, knocking around his girlfriend or making any plays of game changing significance.
HH, you are putting the cart before the horse, the kick before the snap, the hold before the catch of the snap. Schum needs to make it past the final cut down to be listed as the 2016 punter. I will be waiting with bated breath on Saturday...........
Review of the new punters first night: http://www.packersnews.com/story/spo...foot/89720242/
So something we speculated about, that being asked to kick directionally, seems to be a factor they way Zook and McCarthy are having their punt team operate."I thought he did a lot of good things," McCarthy said. "Jacob, for being with us for two days, he punted well in practice yesterday and I thought he continued that again tonight. Most importantly, I think the ball placement outside the numbers was what we were looking for and I think he accomplished that."

Something seems different about this new punter.
