    THE SPECIALISTS
    Long snapper Brett Goode was practically flawless for the second straight year, but kicker Mason Crosby took a step back statistically and punter Jeremy Kapinos was also up and down.

    Crosby's struggles were well-documented, as he missed a field goal of less than 45 yards in four straight games from Weeks 12-15. He also made just 2-of-6 on the season from 50-plus, hitting in the season opener and in Week 16 but missing all four long tries in between. He also missed from 54 in the playoffs.

    That left his regular-season numbers at 27-of-36, a 75.0 percent conversion rate that was below the 79.5 and 79.4 he posted each of his first two seasons in the league. One goal for this year was to get above the 80 percent benchmark that all but six other kickers with at least 20 attempts hit in 2009.

    Thats the snappers fault

    I am still trying to figure out what they are going to do with Crosby next year. I have a feeling we will be seeing him next year, hopefully he can work on his game during the break and get on track for next season.
