[QUOTE="Deleted member 6794, post: 984782"] The Packers (22.06%) are dead last in the league in touchback percentage by a wide margin with the next team being the Steelers (33.33%) and 24 teams above 50%. If it works that well as you suggest the team should be among the better ones in the average line of scrimmage after a kickoff. Right? Right. Well, that's not the case by any means though with them currently ranking 27th in that category at 26.27 yards. That means that kicking into the end zone on every kickoff would result in a better field position on average. Watch the games. The Packers have gone for it on fourth down 12 out of 19 times between the opponent's 22 and 40 yard line this season. Only two teams have a higher percentage on going for it in those situations. As far as I know I haven't even been around that long ;) Crosby is a free agent after this season, there's no need for the Packers to re-sign him. Other kickers make field goals from close to 70 yards in warmups. That doesn't mean they're able to do the same in a game though. Actually, I have posted facts for several years that Crosby hasn't even been an average kicker by nearly every single metric for most of his career. That doesn't matter to fans supporting him though. As mentioned above, the Packers rank 27th in average LOS for the opponent after a kickoff. While you might have gotten the impression they have done pretty well in coverage they actually haven't. That's solely based on his longevity. Crosby is ranked only 53rd out of 61 kickers in field goal percentage among kickers with at least 100 attempts since entering the league though. Packers' opponents starting position after a kickoff: 26.27 yards (27th) League average: 25.35 [/QUOTE]
