Because it's never too early to want Slocum fired!
Seriously, he needs to go. Yesterday. They should have left him at a Kenosha rest stop or Cheese Shop on the Interstate.
Alas, since we made the payoffs, I am afraid there will be a 'Official 2015 Fire Slocum' thread and an 'Official 2016 Fire Slocum' thread, etc, etc, and of course, etc.
The ST team play has been unacceptable for a long time and MM somehow looks by it
Dom Capers is Hoodie Genius Jr compared to Slocum
We have 6 ST's coaches who had jobs last yr looking for jobs
Go get the best one....or the worst one....I don't even care which one.....as long as it's not Slocum
who else thought for sure that hester was gonna return that last kickoff for the game winning TD?
The 40 yard line was bad enough. One 15 yard completion and the Bears were throwing the ball into the end zone. Giving up that return could have been a huge factor. Burnett and Shields bailed out the special teams.
And I endorse firing Slocum in 2014 :)
Seriously...the fact that this thread had to be made is a failing on MM's part. I don't care if we win the superbowl on the strength of special teams I want Slocum gone by March.
How many punt return yards did Seattle end up giving up ? They were on course to set an NFL record. Their specials are amazing.
I wonder if they'd just drafted that well on the bottom half of their roster....or if their ST coach is a stud ??
I hate to always bring up the injuries, but they are 1/2 of the two-headed monster that makes life difficult for any Packer ST coach. That and the very young roster. Both are endemic problems for special teams in Green Bay. Not excuses, perhaps could find a coach better able to deal with them, but they are realities to be sure. But to be fair, I would need to careful look at the age and experience of other special teams league wide. Right now, I'm just guessing that the Packers STs are a lot younger (less experienced) and less talented due injury and roster composition.
Yes ST Coach Brian Schneider in Seattle is very good at his job working along with John Glenn and Nick Sorensen his ST Coaching Assistants. How does the age of these fellas along with 'the Strength and Conditioning' Coach's; compare to what we see in Green Bay as a Special Teams & Strength Coaching Staff?
** Is the Green Bay Packer staff up to speed with 'all the latest' in this field of football coaching? Why so many injuries?
** Injuries as we have seen on the Packers have somewhat of a trickle down negative effect on ST's play in terms of punt and kick returns on both sides of the ball ('O' blocking and 'D' tackling). To excuse lousy blocking and tackling in ST analysis. NO! What we see and cringe at almost every game; to use that as any excuse. Is to contradict the oft used Green Bay Packer 'next man up' mantra.
Here's something on 'the GUY on ST's' in Seattle.
I couldn't help but notice that athletic punter Jon Ryan is acclaimed here and killing it in Seattle.
How did Ted Thompson let that MAN get away?

I missed that Pugger and so understand you better.
MM'S ways, attitude and delusions in terms of the Green Bay Packers defense is indeed sad if not pathetic.
He's going to set himself up to get FIRED! He makes no sense in regards to this major concern for the TEAM's best interests. WINS !
GO PACKERS GO!
oh wow, someone really dropped the ball on this one today
we tie the fucking game, crosby has the most perfect kickoff you could ask for
the the special team gives up a massive return so the 49ers are almost already in game winning FG range
then today, MM says that injuries to the team really made special teams difficult this year. well what about every other fucking year when they've sucked asshole?
FIRE SLOCUM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
keeping capers i can at least live with if that it the choice. it would be completely unacceptable if slocum remains with this team imo
FIRE THE FUCKER! http://www.ontheroadtofit.com/wp-con...u7o1o1_500.jpg
A couple years ago I read an article about ST coaches, which basically said the NFL schemes are minimal and everyone knows them. The difference between the best ST coaches who always do well, and the others who are up and down is how quickly they can get players ready and their ability to adapt to personnel changes, because that is the life of all ST coaches. Basically, all teams change 10-15 players from season to season, and during a season, if it isn't injuries that are changing the bottom of the roster it is the GM cutting players and signing others in an attempt to get better. All ST coaches deal with a lot of personnel changes both from season to season and during the season, it's part of the nature of the job. The bulk of their units are always players on their first contracts.
I don't think Slocum has an excuse this season or any of his seasons in GB.
An Excel spreadsheet is being particularly uncooperative this morning, and I'm getting a headache.
Fire Slocum.
its absolutely mind numbing and extremely frustration that he has not been canned yet?
there is no excuse for going into another year with slocum as the ST coach
time to face facts, M3 has no balls and will not fire anyone, as long as stubby is the HC, we're going to have an absolute joke of a special teams that continue to cost us game
Golden Parachute time. Give him some free passes to the Packers Hall of Fame.
Fire Slocum!
