My guess is his release was probably due to Bisaccia coming to the conclusion his holding was a major reason for the Packers placekicking problems last year. If so, he needed to go.Originally Posted by Bretsky

Gute mentioned consistency too I believe.
For a vet who'd punted in Buffalo, it was surprising how bad he was in December and January.
And if punters are the holders, and he sucked at it - which he did - then yes, he had to go.

Maybe now we know why Buffalo didn't keep him.

Weird. He didn't seem like coach material at the time. Guess he grew into it.

Kingsley Keke was waived by the Texans this week.
In the 'didn't think I'd ever hear that name again' department, Geronimo Allison has a tryout with the Giants.
He opted out in 2020, then bounced back and forth between the practice squad and the 54 man for Detroit last year, appearing in 3 games. I thought he was out of the league.

Yeah, T-Buck as a coach is a weird thought.
Says something for him, actually.
Chris Odom is the USFL Defensive Player of the Year. He had a stint with the Packers in 2017. He has been all over the place in his short career.
Dexter Williams had 102 total yards in Philadelphia Stars loss in USFL Title Game.

Or you teach Jordan Love or Randall Cobb to hold. I mean it doesn't HAVE to be the punter.
I don't hold Grudges. It's counterproductive.
Fat mike GREW into it. I mean he musta gained 150 lbs. easy.

Having the punter as holder gives you more consistency from year to year. Teams change backup QB's all the time, but teams with a good punter usually hold onto them.

I never liked the idea of having the punter be the holder. It severely limits the creativity of fakes. What I always heard was they do it for practice convenience, but you'd think at least some ST coaches would not prioritize that sort of thing.
What could be more GOOD and NORMAL and AMERICAN than Packer Football?
So, sitting here at the car wash waiting for my buggy.
On the way over was listening to Lucas Patrick (new Bear) on the local sports radio station.
All Lucas wanted to talk about was the Bears.
All the radio hosts wanted to talk about was the Packers.
Ha!!
Do you live in Chicago or Minneapolis? Seems like all there fans want to talk about is the packers so....
All tyrannies rule through fraud and force, but once the fraud is exposed they must rely exclusively on force.

Yea, prior to free agency it was usually the backup QB since they didn't change so often. I'm not so convinced punters are so consistently on the roster now days either. I mean if we had taught Love to hold he certainly has had a longer stint than the last 2 punters.

That makes more sense to me. Punter is hanging out with the ST anyway and has more time to work with the long snapper as his practice is limited to punting the ball few enough times to avoid leg fatigue. And the punter also has to handle long snaps already. I guess it makes sense, but if you have a really good punter that can't hold, I would look for alternatives....not that our punter was good in December as Fritz mentions.
