how "green" were the members on special teams this year?

[Carolina_Packer]

What is Seattle doing that is so frickin different than Green Bay.....better coaching....or are they just drafting better players.....which may be the captain obvious response in looking at how they retooled that defense and their defense is so much better than Green Bay's.

Their special teams is phenominal. Our special teams are unacceptable.

I've thought this before too about Seattle and San Francisco. Both teams were mediocre in 2010, and now they are among the elite teams having fixed what ailed them fairly quickly. I get that both teams have young QB's who are yet to get their big contract that takes a big cap number and forces them to make some tough choices. Those teams are willing to do smart, shorter-term free agent contracts that don't require a big cap number. Michael Bennett and Cliff Avril in that defense on 1 year deals...genius! If Seattle wants them back, then perhaps it won't even require big money.

As for defense, New Orleans was hot garbage on defense in 2012 and not great in previous years. They hire Rob Ryan and in one year (must have had quite a few of the same guys on defense) they turn it around into a very respectable defense.

When you don't sign veteran free agents, and only sign draft picks, college free agents and established Packer players, then you'd better hope you are banking on the right guys. Is it always best to patch from within? I like the idea of coaching guys up, letting them grow in the system and then rewarding that, but what if you are rewarding guys who have pretty much reached their apex and the team needs more? Brad Jones anyone? Could we not have gotten a better ILB than that on the open market? That's just one example. With so many roster decisions to make and our top offensive and defensive player inked for a few years, it's time to think outside the box about the possibility of finding someone who fits the scheme, is undervalued and has some experience to offer. Nobody is asking to give stupid money to someone, but if Seattle can get a Bennett and Avril for one year, then Green Bay should consider the same type of deal. Guys would come, especially because of Rodgers and they know we need help on defense, so they could be part of the solution, and in one year you'll know if they fit or not and you can always extend them if it works out with them.

So what's the difference?

[Patler]

You ask...I provide. I have no idea how these numbers compare to other teams. I do recall reading that a few guys, like Stoneburner, either hadn't played ST in college or hadn't played them in a number of years.


Davon House 338 (66.1 percent)
Ryan Taylor 335 (65.6 percent)
Jarrett Bush 311 (60.9 percent)
Jamari Lattimore 292 (57.1 percent)
Chris Banjo 273 (53.4 percent)
Micah Hyde 254 (49.7 percent)
John Kuhn 229 (44.8 percent)
Andy Mulumba 217 (42.5 percent)
M.D. Jennings 201 (39.3 percent)

Johnathan Franklin 71 (13.9 percent)
Johnny Jolly 63 (12.3 percent)
Kahlil Bell 59 (11.5 percent)

Is this the number of total plays they participated in? ST plays? or what?

One of my pet peeves is that journalists often criticize the units, but rarely if ever report who is on it, what changes have been made due to injuries, etc.

Bush, of course, has done it forever; Kuhn, too. House ever since his first season, and has played well. Taylor and Latimore have made the team for several years only because of STs. Richardson was a stud on STs last year before his injury. Every team has a bunch of new guys each year; and the ones who aren't O-line and D-line are worked into STs.

MM said when Capers was hired that one of the advantages of the 3-4 is that it improves STs by having more of the linebacker bodies that are ideal for STs.

Guys like Malumba, Bostick, Boykin and others worked on STs since training camp, yet when they needed to make a play against SF they gave up a 40 yard return.

In recent years they drafted guys with ST prowess. They had guys with lots of experience. Still, the coverage units player poorly.

I can't help but believe at least some of it is do to ineffective ST coaching.

[Bretsky]

The thing I'm wondering is whether any of this matters much. Of the top 10 ST units in 2013, 6 failed to make the playoffs. The Packers were 19th this year according to Football Outsiders. The year they won the Super Bowl they were 26th. Yes B, Seattle's special teams were great this year. They were 5th. Well, in 2010 they were 2nd and finished 7-9. I think we know why Seattle is in the Super Bowl, and it's not ST. Their opponent in the Super Bowl had the 21st ranked unit. I think it's probably true you don't want to be one of the worst ST units, but I'm not sure having one of the top units is all that significant.

As for injuries, are we to conclude that it's just a coincidence that the Packers ST units ranked 8th in 2011, the one recent year when the Packers were relatively injury-free?

What did our coverage until rate in 2011 ? And is one year out of his reign of muck acceptable ? I'm seeing pattern of failures; I'd consider 2011 a fluke as much as anything fwiw. I haven't even touched on Ross....who looked outstanding for Detroit but not all there with us. But I think consistently our coverage units terrify me. So IMO it's our drafting or the coaching.

this is one f'ckin awesome post

[Bretsky]

So what's the difference?

Our coverage units have shown consistent failures over the course of time under Slocum IMO and they have come at some terrible times; that is where Seattle has excelled as a team. Jarrett Bush has often been mentioned as one of the best gunners in the NFL. But the unti as a whole is inconsistent at best over time. To me that is coaching. Also,
I think the Seattle GM has been at the top of his game the past few years and has loaded that team with talent at the top and bottom of the roster...he's done a better job stocking that team than TT over the past few years...and they have better coaching at ST. I've never been a fan of Slocum. GB fired its special teams coach and hired their assistant. Now we're stuck with him.

WHAT PATLER SAID

[mraynrand]

Guys like Malumba, Bostick, Boykin and others worked on STs since training camp, yet when they needed to make a play against SF they gave up a 40 yard return.

I know you used the work 'like' but when the play in question came up, Bostic was on IR, Mulumba was nursing an injury, and both Mulumba and Boykin were pressed into starting duty.

Seems like we're on an impasse on this subject. Packers build from within strategy appears insufficient to win a title every other year, like better-run teams in Seattle and SF. I thought the point was to compare the relative amount of youth on the various rosters (because that WAS the subject of the thread) and whether that has an influence on ST performance. Are Sea and SF STs better because their STs are stocked with players drafted to play defense, and GB drafted a lot of guys to play offense, and/or is it youth, inexperience, and injury? I too agree with Patler that "I can't help but believe at least some of it is do to ineffective ST coaching." But I also believe a lot of it has to do with those other factors.

OK, let me be clear, I don't know or if it was Malumba or any other specific individual in on that play. What I was trying to get across was that the young guys, the rookies and first year players (like Malumba), had been worked into STs from the time it looked like they might make the team, and for a great many of them, that was sometime in training camp. By December, they are no longer green.

I don't buy the injury excuse at all. I don't see that many transactions during the year that would have had a huge impact on the coverage teams. A few, sure, but what teams don't have at least a few. Besides, some of their signings were specifically for STs (Aiyewa comes to mind)

12/31/2013 G Lanier Coleman signed to practice squad
12/28/2013 WR Randall Cobb activated from injured reserve – designated for return
12/27/2013 CB Jumal Rolle signed to active roster from practice squad

Well at least you came out and said you don't buy the injury argument. So for you means it's personnel (Thompson) and coaching (Slocum) only.

Still, you can argue integration all you want, but when this is going on:

10/15/2013 TE Jake Stoneburner and WR Myles White signed to active roster; LB Victor Aiyewa signed to practice squad,

and guys are activated and play STs on the fly coming off the practice squad, I wonder what the effect is. You are dismissing inexperience, and you are saying the coaches should be abel to create a cohesive unit on the fly. I guess I buy into the team concept -playing together and getting familiar has a huge effect, even on STs.

But now compare that to Seattle and SF. Like I say, I'm too lazy to do all that research, but I just did't see the same turnover with other teams. Maybe they had several PS guys and street rookie FAs on their teams playing 3-4 games at the end of the season too. Perhaps SF and Sea just have better coaching and/or were built to play ST better. Let's see how many championships it nets them.
