Drayton obviously fell way short of the mark on this.  The players he is given to work with, may not be NFL starters, but they sure the heck have NFL skills, otherwise they wouldn't be on the team.  Yes, he has to work with a lot of rotations of players through the roster due to injuries, covid, etc.  However, so does every other special teams coordinator.If the Packers had to lose a playoff game, I am kind of glad that it came down to botched Special teams play.  For once the Packer front office might actually see just how important it is to have a really good ST coach.</blockquote>
