OK, lets try this, if possible, with the average age of the team. Trying to get at the Packers reluctantance to sign vets to perform special teams duty under Draft and Develop. Meaning, the entire roster is usually draft and develop. Not sure if this is enough data to run a regression for two variables (or even if its possible), but let's see if both drafted players and youth get us closer to my contention.
Ideally we'd look at either the age of the ST or the age of the backend of the roster, but I don't know a way to do that without just hand sorting the entire league player by player.Code:Team Draft % ST Score Avg Age 2025 49ers 48 125 26.3 Bears 41.2 57 26.23 Bengals 57.1 74 25.77 Bills 62.7 105 26.25 Broncos 52.2 54 26.43 Browns 44.8 97 26.15 Buccaneers 69.4 77 26.25 Cardinals 38.5 79 26.19 Chargers 50.8 95 25.91 Chiefs 57.5 91 25.92 Colts 56.5 88 26.26 Commanders 36.5 58 28.09 Cowboys 60.8 49 25.74 Dolphins 47.1 72 26 Eagles 47.8 101 25.49 Falcons 39.4 109 26.71 Giants 45.8 90 26.58 Jaguars 62.7 56 26.04 Jets 47.2 88 25.81 Lions 54.8 33 26.6 Packers 57.8 92 25.23 Panthers 35.3 83 26.32 Patriots 42.9 76 26.08 Raiders 48.5 41 26.11 Rams 66.7 92 26.38 Ravens 74.1 117 26.13 Saints 57.8 67 26.26 Seahawks 52.2 79 25.77 Steelers 39.2 74 27.28 Texans 43.8 57 26.38 Titans 47.1 119 26.58 Vikings 45.5 122 26.4

Is the hypothesis age of player or draft and develop correlation with special teams results?

Draft and develop can’t fill the entire roster. No one is at 100% draftees. So you are signing free agents at some point. Maybe young, maybe off the street, maybe top of the line or in between.Originally posted by sharpe1027 View PostIs the hypothesis age of player or draft and develop correlation with special teams results?

Trying to get at the circumstance where Brant Banks is your next man up. So the data I gave you covers the age of the roster.
So if you are draft and develop AND have a young roster your ST will suffer without starters. I’d love to just have the age of the STeamers, but I’m not crawling through 32 rosters to dig it out.Last edited by pbmax; 10-24-2025, 08:57 PM.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

Hmm. Wouldn't that theory just rely on age? Why does it matter that a player was drafted elsewhere when he's got five years of experience? I guess we can see what the data says rather than prejudge.Originally posted by pbmax View PostDraft and develop can’t fill the entire roster. No one is at 100% draftees.

I thought I'd go in a different direction entirely, so I looked up - tried to look up - the special teams rankings of the past ten Super Bowl winners. I was wondering, well, how important ARE good special teams to winning a Superb Owl?Originally posted by sharpe1027 View PostHmm. Wouldn't that theory just rely on age? Why does it matter that a player was drafted elsewhere when he's got five years of experience? I guess we can see what the data says rather than prejudge.
All I can find is the following chart, which is from PFF but somehow goes only from 2006 - 2015:

As you can see, only three of the ten SB teams from that decade ranked in the bottom half of special teams in the NFL for their respective SB-winning seasons. One of those of course was the Packer team of 2010. Five of the SB winners were in the top ten of the special teams rankings. The other two were average.
Make of this what you will. I don't have the time to see if the poorly-ranked ST SB winners had highly ranked offenses AND defenses in order to make up for the shit special teams."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

It might just be age. Or it may simply be that using age to approximate experience on special teams is a bad fudge. Its also likely not the entire story.Originally posted by sharpe1027 View PostHmm.

Even in the first year, when Gute brought in some of Bisaccia's guys the ST were bad. But unlike todday, the Packers had trouble with the specialists (Punter and kicker were in flux) but there likely isn't a single silver bullet here.
Its also possible that Mosqueda's point is basically right. If you go backup on ST and then don't practice more than typical, you increase the chances of disaster. The Packers never planned to have Brant Banks block on FGs, but the failure to imagine he could have to leaves the margins on ST rail thin.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs.

It doesn't surprise me it bounces around. Some teams dominate on O or D. But if I were planning for the season, I would want the ST at least near average so as not to make the O and D work even harder.Originally posted by Fritz View PostI thought I'd go in a different direction entirely, so I looked up - tried to look up - the special teams rankings of the past ten Super Bowl winners.

What I see is that if you don't have a top defense then you better have a top ST and vice versa.Originally posted by Fritz View PostI thought I'd go in a different direction entirely, so I looked up - tried to look up - the special teams rankings of the past ten Super Bowl winners.

I always use the metric that 10 yards costs you a point. Doesn’t matter if it is in special teams or a penalty.
Bad special teams can cost you 50 yards a game and in a close contest that can be the difference.But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

So let’s see in one half vs the Steelers that might cost us the game…
We muffed/recovered a punt, missed 2 fg’s, made a bad read on the last kickoff.
Why do we suck so bad?The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.

Hard to pin that on ST when offense just was making mistakes and missing a lot of talent.
But a bad snap? Really…The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have.
