It's bothering me a bit that he was a completely failure as a packer but looks like a pro bowl player with the lions. Not sure if anyone is to blame or it just summarizes our season.
That's actually not very surprising. Slippery footing is a big advantage for returners because they can plan their moves ahead of time while the snow greatly hampers defenders ability to react quickly.Fluke. Our secondary has been getting burned by everyone and their grandma.... and he returned a kick in the blizzard of philly...c'mon.....he aint no pro-bowler..... a toilet bowler, yes.

this could be a coaching thing. Ross looked tentative for us and now looks confident. I am sure blocking is now better for him, but I believe his current coaching staff has him better prepared instilling confidence in himself.blame Slocum haha jk..nah but Hyde isn't nearly as good as kickoff returns as i thought he would be.
#1- before we added this guy Jeremy Ross, originally, I don't think any of us had ever heard of him or seen him play.
#2- he showed some electric skills late in the season last year as a return man
#3- fumble vs SF in playoff game was huge error. but the defense was worse that day, way way worse.
#4- our special teams blocking, and coverage, was horrible, HORRIBLE, right out the gate this year. A young Devin Hester or Josh Cribbs, or Randall Cobb couldn't have done anything with the lack of blocking.
#5- he had another terrible fumble at Cinci (or was it Baltimore), that was costly and bad.
Many here know I thought we should have still kept him.
Because of #2 above. He had it, we saw it, last year.
Fumbles are a tricky thing. So are turnovers.
Last few years, our defense forced a lot of them, especially interceptions.
Now we have very few, and our safeties have NONE.
Some guys, like Tiki Barber, Ahman Green, Adrian Peterson, and this year David Wilson and Stevan Ridley, have had big issues with fumbles.
Some coaches stick with them.
Some bench them.
We cut ours.
I was sad to see Ross go, but I am VERY HAPPY for him he's gotten some blocking and a few passes thrown his way. Caught the TD against us, and took 2 back to the house yesterday.
He's proven me right, and that #2 above was no fluke.
This was an error from someone in our organization to cast him away.
LOL... but Teddy is the one who brought in Ross in the first place.Shhhhh...don't talk about Teddy. You may get stoned.
Fumbles to me, are like a pitcher and giving up home runs.this could be a coaching thing. Ross looked tentative for us and now looks confident. I am sure blocking is now better for him, but I believe his current coaching staff has him better prepared instilling confidence in himself.
Isn't Kuhn the guy who fumbled a blocked punt this year, our first blocked punt in so long? And isn't Kuhn the guy who fumbled the ball away against the Giants in the 2011 playoff loss?Isn't Ross the turdburglar that Kuhn begged not to come out of the endzone two consecutive times? The fumblerooskis are coming on a crucial return in Detroit, and the kitties will get to punish him next.
Yes, and he's also the guy who has Rodgers' back on third down and calls out blitz assignments.Isn't Kuhn the guy who fumbled a blocked punt this year, our first blocked punt in so long? And isn't Kuhn the guy who fumbled the ball away against the Giants in the 2011 playoff loss?
Frank is not advocating for Kuhn here.
Perhaps I misunderstood, but it seemed as though he simply pointed out that players make mistakes and was backing up Ross by pointing out that everyone makes mistakes, not trying to slam Kuhn. If anything it reinforced his stance of not cutting someone because they fumbled. Where in that post did he say cut Kuhn?
*sigh*Pretty sure that I was the one who said boneheaded.
