Packers sign Derrick Frost

I will stop being a fan of the Packers if they get rid of Jon Ryan.

I might actually have believed you if you said Ruvell!!

Only thing is I like Ruvell as an athlete and a person. Ryan was a great guy, great personality. The Ryan for MVP video was hilarious. Just wish the guy had more talent and consistency.

If Ruvell was cut (BIG if) I'd probably sit in the dark for a few days, but I'd come out of it.

So, how do you know Ryan so well?

PACKERS BOOT RYAN
Posted by Mike Florio on September 1, 2008, 4:16 p.m.
The Green Bay Packers have announced that they’ve parted ways with punter Jon Ryan.

Ryan joined the team as an undrafted free agent in 2006. He went to college in Canada.

He generated an average of 44.5 yards per punt in two NFL seasons. His net average is 37.0.

Replacing Ryan is Derrick Frost, who spent the last three seasons with the Redskins. Before that, he punted for the Browns.

His career average is 41.1 yards, and his net is 36.4.

But Frost has done a better job of pinning opponents’ inside the 20 than Ryan. Over the last two years, Frost has done it 50 times in 156 punts. Ryan did it only 35 times in 135 punts.




Pretty surprised by this move

Ridiculous IMO ... threre's gotta be somethin to this.

Slept with MM's son? I mean, really... wtf could it be

[Partial]

He's only 7% better at placing it inside the 20's. Ryan's a young guy. I'm not crazy about this move, but I recognize that its a punter and ultimately won't make a huge difference.

the inside the 20 numbers are really worthless to me

you really have to know where the guys were kicking from too

if both guys take the same amount of kicks, and one kicks from the 50 and one kicks from the 40, then one of them should have a higher inside the 40 number

can we find a stat for average punting position? this is where it would be nice to still have patler around

that's pretty obvious.

but who? what does the 40 and 50 have to do with anything? you saying the guy kicking from the 50, out of 20 kicks, will always have more inside the 20?

not always, but he should have a better chance of getting more in

That's very true. Way too many variables. 7% isn't enough to whip me in a frenzy anyway. That's like two punts a year.
