More Banjo: Week Forever vs. Cardinals

[Harlan Huckleby]

I just finished moving from a place I lived at for 35 years.

So, what's going on around here? Any news?

They are thinking of tinkering with the offense this off season.

Don't know how much I agree with that. A 47 yard FG in what looked to be pretty bad conditions was not a chip shot, and I don't feel you can lay this one on him.

He certainly messed up against Detroit, something was amiss that week. He's only missed two other field goals all season, do you really think anytime a kicker misses the loss can be pinned on him? Week 2 he actually made the (52 yard) kick the first time but it was wiped out by a TO call.

i'm not pinning those games on crosby alone...not by any means. this team's poor performances are well chronicled. i'm just pointing out another, seldom mentioned, issue that it has.

Oh my God. That could just make things worse - stay the course!

I mean the Cardinals kicker was cut by the Browns earlier this season, and he calmly hit two 40 plus yarders in the same conditions. Crosby's missed critical kicks in 3 losses and a tie including having basically the worst game by any kicker in the modern era. Of course this team has a myriad of issues. But he's supposed to be dependable.

I have to give Mason Crosby another 'Green Light'. He mustbe our kicker for cerain and the remainder of this regular season.

There's over the top too much wrong with the Green Bay Packers to ever go to blame on your kicker missing a last ditch effort and rather long (49 yard ) field goal to simply get your team to overtime with the worst team in the NFL.

Yesterday the Packers suffered their worst defeat before a Home Crowd inover half a century given the point spread at game time of - 13.5 points. I was traveling at the time ofthe game and was in shock that the Pack dropped that game. My immediate reaction was that MM should be FIRED ASAP. Again he let go of the running game. He has to be very poor Poker player.

Frankly no NFL Team should hire him because the games offensive strategy has passed himby and that man is really stubborn. The teams weakest link.....finally gone.

Go Pack Go !

Pad level will definately be addressed.

I have a few things to say regarding MM's firing, but for now I will say that I agree with Woody that Crosby is a good kicker - he's not the problem. I'd keep him - he doesn't cost that much, for crying out loud.

I am wondering, for anyone who watched that debacle, whether Josh Jones and/or Montravius Adams showed anything to suggest improvement. I'm wondering if either or both can live up to their draft statuses. They've got, what, four games left to prove it?

And is Josh Jackson waking up at all? Guy's been playing like he's asleep.

Crosby is not the problem. You won't find many better than him unless you drop a draft pick, and they have bigger priorities. He's playing with a new holder and snapper this year, and a 49 yarder is no gimme. I would bring someone into camp for competition, but you don't cut a kicker like him outright until then.

Jackson is erratic but talented. Josh Jones seems too stupid to fix. The scapegoat I had my eye on was the replacement ILB, Morrison. That guy is a clod. But guess you don't get great starters at bottom of roster.

Adams - He can be a monster and is quick off the line, but as we saw with Raji, freelancing in the interior especially in run D is a bad idea in nickel and dime as you leave TOO many gaps uncovered. He's not ready for disciplined D yet.

Josh Jones - I don't see free safety from him at all. He can play the ball or the player but has not idea how to triangulate both. He can learn, that is, he has learned to avoid illegal hits, but he has not figured out how to cover a man deep. But he can go forward like gang busters and is a good hitter and tackler. He would be better in zone which ...

Josh Jackson - someone said he looks like he won't be able to play man but is good in zone. He also us a sure tackler and can go forward in a hurry. With a two Josh defense, you won't see the opposing O run a screen through the D if they are on that side of the ball.

But Pettine prefers man coverage, which can expose both guys. But you could play a whale of a hybrid coverage with them. But their status as staters are very much up in the air.

As per usual, I am rooting for talent to win out over scheme. Each has something to offer physically. But we aren't there yet.

They're not gonna blow up the team. That's not the Packer way. I do think they move on from Mason Crosby with his big salary, though. A lot of teams have picked up kickers off the scrap heap that do a better job than Crosby.

Lets see, gone already: Montgomery and haha. Gone next year: Clay, Cobb, Maybe Perry. I'd call that a rebuild.

Jones showed a little bit. I didn't notice adams, but he is a DT so why would I? Jackson will be an all pro S for the jets in the future.

I'd say they are going young. Not a full rebuild.
