Kapinos is pissed about not being tendered

[get louder at lambeau]

Or just never punt.

This one is a little less rigorous as at one point he relies on a 4th down mindset, which is easily the weakpoint of his argument. But its still worth a read.

That and the other one are pretty interesting stuff. I wonder how much NFL teams, and especially the Packers, really analyze concepts like that? If I knew how to find his email, I''d email it to this guy-

That's the nomenclature for all Packer employee email addresses.

I remember ESPN running a story on this when it was studied. Mike Holmgren was asked about it and his response was "And how many of these guys are coaching at any level much less the NFL??" The reporter tried to ask a follow up question and Holmgren said "how many with real life coaching experience?". And that was the end of the interview.

How much real life running-a-football-team-as-president experience does Holmgren have?

Josh Bidwell was cut by the Buccaneers. There are other punters out there.

Punters are generic. The only two that really stand out are the guy in Buffalo and the Raiders punter.

Instead of crying Kapinos should have said "I like Green Bay and the Packers and will gladly sign for the minimum amount."

[Fritz]

Didn't Bidwell jump from Green Bay because he wanted to punt in warmer weather so his stats would be better?

[MJZiggy]

Now he sees the error of his ways.

Do you want a guy who didn't want to kick in cold weather when given the choice? I dunno. He obviously didn't kick ass in Tampa, but then again, after Frost/Krapinos we'd like almost any punter better.
