McCarthy: Frost out of a job

[Guiness]

I would think TT and company are scouring the CFL. Is their regular season over? There has to be somebody up there that can come in and be better than Frost (of course that won't be too hard ).

Yes, season's over. They have an agreement to not poach the CFL players, but I think there's some sort of a buyout option during the CFL offseason?

Still no punter in GB?

Today is the players day off. They'll have them in by Wed morning.

This article from the Wisconsin State Journal talks about the punting situation and names the same three punters KYPack did:

Two more punters will try-out for the coaches today in GB:

Durant Brooks and Danny Baugher will kick for the coaches today. Brooks, a rookie who was a sixth-round draft pick of the Washington Redskins in April, was scheduled to work out on Tuesday along with free-agent punters Paul Ernster and Jeremy Kapinos, but the Packers decided to split the workouts into two groups.

Ernster and Kapinos have not yet been offered contracts by the team.

Brooks, the winner last season of the Ray Guy award given to the top college punter, beat out Frost during Redskins training camp but was released in mid-October after averaging just 39.6 yards (gross) and 32.1 yards (net).

Baugher spent part of the 2006 season on the New England Patriots’ practice squad and almost won the job in training camp the next season. In three games during the 2007 preseason, Baugher punted nine times and had averages of 44.8 (gross) and 39.0 (net). According to the Boston Globe, he appeared to have the inside track on the job after the team cut veteran Josh Miller. However, the Patriots cut Baugher when veteran Chris Hanson became available.

Danny Baugher sounds like the kind of guy that would be right at home with Johnny Blood and the Packers of old. Baugher was charged with assault and battery the day after the Patriots released him. He was alleged to have assaulted his father in the parking lot of a fast-food restaurant at 4 a.m. Baugher was drunk at the time. He stumbled and fell out of the car when arrested by police. He told police that he “was released by the New England Patriots, and he was not handling it very well.” He pleaded not guilty to the charges, but it’s unclear how it was resolved.

Everyone, including Bob McGinn, says our present bunch lacks color and energy, let's sign this guy. Sounds like he's got enough fire in him for our whole ST crew.

While it’s likely the Packers’ next punter will come from the group of four that worked out this week, it’s not a guarantee.

The team could also sign one of the punters they worked out earlier this season. That group included Bay Port High School graduate Ken DeBauche, Ex Pro Bowl choice Scott Player, Zac Atterberry and Waylon Prather.

Bring on DeBauche. He's a good guy. That's reason enough, right Turtle?

The Packers are finally De-Frosted. I'm thinking anyone on the Iraqi, Mexican, Brazilian, Italian, Argentinian, Uruguayan, Canadian, American, Jamaican, Dominican, Lichtensteinian, English, Spanish, Irish or Scottish soccer teams have got to have SOMEBODY that can punt a fucking football better than David Frost, BJ Sander, or any other reject that bounces around the league.

KY had some good analysis on scouts' views on punters...and I have come to the conclusion that Punters out of American colleges...suck!!

Before Jon Ryan, the Packers brought in two previous Ray Guy winners!! That award is supposedly for phenomenal punters...and one of em...BJ Sander..didn't even make it through his rookie season!

The Ray Guy award is bullshit and I hope the Packers take the MLB angle and start thinking outside the box regarding QUALITY. When I say quality punters, I want ISO 9000:2001....SIX SIGMA BLACK BELT certified punters that don't give the competition an edge every time they hit the field.

[Freak Out]

Damn....we bring in the guy that Frost beat out? Ha ha......sign the fighting drunk for fucks sake and get it over with.

[Fritz]

Damn....we bring in the guy that Frost beat out? Ha ha......sign the fighting drunk for fucks sake and get it over with.

I believe Cincy's got the inside track on the fighting drunk punter.

I was afraid the Bengals might try and restock their roster with thugs and beat us to it.

[Fritz]

I do like the idea of signing the guy. Don't even have to know his name...just "the fighting drunk."

Really.

Let's get this year goin'.

Let's have an achoholic kicker.

Wonder if the NFL would let "the fighting drunk" put 'Drunk' on his jersey?

(I love the line, “was released by the New England Patriots, and he was not handling it very well.” We can see that, pal.)

[Freak Out]

He's Packer people.....get it done TT.

[KYPack]

ESPN (and Ras) report the Pack signed Jeremy Kapinos to a contract.

He's the punter.

Buncha thread killers!
