However, he doesn't seem to be getting them into the endzone anymore. Obviously there is an adjustment to kicking in the cold, but he's no better than Mason Crosby at this point on kickoffs. He needs to squeeze an extra 5-10 yards out of those kicks. Am I remembering his kickoffs from the first half of the season correctly, that they were better?**EDIT**I did some quick research. His career touchback rate in college was 61.4%. According to the Packers.com website, he is at 50.9% through the Chiefs game (he actually had 3 TBs last night [3of6]- I only remembered one). I see quotes from earlier in the season about his "booming" leg. He shanked two in the Bears game, and then was 50% or better in all games until Week 9 against the Rams. Since then he has been below average.[ATTACH=full]19741[/ATTACH]I'm not frustrated with the kid, since he is a rookie. I expect the inconsistency and think that he has met rookie kicker expectations for field goals. However, he needs to improve his touchback efficiency - unless Rich Bisaccia is instructing him to kick to the goal line.</blockquote>
