[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 854142, member: 7261"] I think that is a legit excuse on Kickoffs, although I have seen other teams returners do a lot more by using their speed and ability to break returns outside. At this point, unless this new guy or the next guy really shines, I am fine with taking touchbacks and the ball at the 25 and not risk a fumble, penalty or turnover in the hope of getting it past the 25. On punt returns, I would say that the Packers have decided to play it safe. Possibly they don't think their blocking is good enough or they have no confidence in their returners. I'm leaning towards the latter. There have been several punts this season where a returner called for a fair catch, when in reality he had yards to gain had he not. The Bottom line for me is that Mennenga has shown absolutely no ingenuity on Special Teams. We see the same old same old every game and the results are pretty bad. If his units finish next to last in almost every category, he needs to be shown the door at the end of the season. I'm just thankful that we kept Mason Crosby or the Special Teams could have very easily have been considered a complete disaster for the season. [/QUOTE]
