The last top-drafted punter has performed worse than several undrafted punters in the same class. Bryan Angerer is in the bottom 10 for net punting yardage since he's come into the league. Punters have a decent bust-rate as well. I said he has a good chance to be better than 90% of that list. I firmly believe he will contribute more in 2018 than Brett Hundley ever did. He will contribute a lot more than Yancey, Quinn, Quarless, etc. This is an absolute certainty... a punter playing every punt snap will undoubtedly contribute more in 1 season than any of those backups ever did in their entire career. Yes, I'm assuming Scott will be good. All indications point to him being so. I have no idea if he will bust or not. Packers drafting history shows he has a very high chance of being a bust... like anyone else they would have picked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JW pass blocking is by all accounts better. Plus, he seems more durable and able to fit the hammer role. If I had to take one I'd bet on Jamaal. Id probably err on this side being safer. Jones is more the home run pick...big burst, but have to realize there will be games he doesn't bust one if they are splitting carries 60/40ish in favor of JW (which would be my guess). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

In any case, it will give us something to talk about for a while. Since Vogel asked for and got his release, Scott is the only punter on the roster right now (unless I missed something). Vogel's net average last year was the highest ever for a Packer. His hang time was also very good. Only 2 touchbacks on 71 punts was 4th in the league. He is probably not a great coffin-corner guy, but did very well imo for a rookie free agent in a very tough venue for punters. It was interesting in the interview I read that Vogel said the Packers told him they drafted Scott because he was the highest rated player on their board at the time. That just seems funny to me, a team that drafted cornerbacks 1-2 claims BPA to explain this pick to their jilted punter. They were probably hoping he would stick around to provide some competition, but its a good look for the team that they granted his request to be released. It was no surprise that Elliot Wolf scooped him up quickly. I made a joke about BJ Sander a few pages back, and probably have a "once bitten ..." attitude about this pick. Sander was a 3rd rounder, which is quite a bit different than a 5th, granted, but we also heard about how he'd be pinning back opposing teams on the goal line for 10 years. He single-handedly beat Michigan, etc. etc. The talk about Scott is very familiar. Just as an aside, I like Linsley and disagree he's "below average." Only lineman to play 100% of the snaps last season and was more than adequate. He does get beat 1 v 1 by bigger athletes but is an extremely reliable, smart guy to have running the show for the OL. There's a reason the Packers just gave him a $25mil 3 year extension. I had read Linsley rated as the 24th or 26th best Center last season. Assuming 16th is average, he falls below average. That was where I was getting my below average rating for him. He was supposed to take a big leap last year and just looked like a guy. Capable of starting but nothing major. He got beat a lot unfortunately. I think he has potential and I was supportive of GB letting Tretter walk and seeing what Linsley could do. As I said in an earlier post, in 2017 GB was 23rd in yards per punt. Tied for last in punts inside the 20, sure only 2 touch backs but that tells me Vogel couldn't pin them inside the 20 and wouldn't kick it into the endzone... I'd rather he lead the league in touch backs because that'd mean the opposition is starting at the 20. Being last for punts inside the 20 and best in touch backs means the opponent started at better than the 20 yard line each series. That's definitely not good. That possibly means Vogel was the worst punter in the NFL in regards to where opponents start each series Edited May 11, 2018 by Dr. Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

As I said, I was supportive of letting Tretter walk and going with Linsley. I think he's got talent. I'm grading him unfairly on 1 year of work in a non-optimal situation, I can completely admit to that. He has potential to be a steal similar to Bakhtiari. As was mentioned before, GB obviously has faith given the extension he signed. It'd be great to get a steady starter with a 5th round investment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the Packers are punting from anywhere inside their own 25 yard line or so, which is probably the lion's share of their punts, he's never going to pin the opposition inside its own 20, nor is he getting a touchback - so that conclusion seems false. Contrary to popular belief, McCarthy actually lead the NFL in 4th down conversion attempts last season. The Packers are very rarely punting from midfield or beyond, where its either a touchback or a coffin-corner/fair catch scenario. The more telling stat for me is that Vogel was 7th in the NFL in net yards per punt. As noted, his net was the best in Packer history, besting legends like Scribner, Landetta and McJulien. Green Bay punting stats are always hard to compare across the league, since they competing with all the warm weather and dome punters. For example, his gross average (44.4) was 23rd in the league last year, but was 5th best all time in Packer history, just one tenth of a yard behind Jon Ryan in 4th. His hangtime (4.31) was also one of the best in Packers history, per McGinn. Vogel was an undrafted rookie. So I guess the question for Scott will be how much better you get with a 5th round pick as compared to a street guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

So I guess the question for Scott will be how much better you get with a 5th round pick as compared to a street guy. Stats Well, he's 23rd in average yards. So if GB is punting from their own 10 rather than their own 40, it's still a crappy average GB was 11th in Net yards per punt, which means he had a good cover team Punts inside the 20 means he was able to punt the ball inside the 20 yard line. Touch backs means a touch back and the opponents start on the 20. So... if you have high numbers of punts inside the 20, and low touch backs, it means you are pinning opponents back really well If you have low numbers of punts inside the 20, and high touch backs, it means you are kicking it out of the end zone too much If you have low numbers of punts inside the 20 and low touch backs, it means you are kicking deep out of your own territory more often than not. Which is likely the scenario for Vogel. However, I would think then he should have a high yard per punt average, but he was in the bottom 50% of the league. So in essence, he was good at nothing.

Mister CIA 8,200 Posted May 11, 2018 Share Posted May 11, 2018 23 hours ago, Phenomena said: This is demonstrably false. PFF did an analysis years back about a "Robo-punter who could always place the ball at the 1-yard line" which would be an extremely good version of a punter... they conclusively analyzed that he wouldn't even be worth a first round pick because they are not significantly marginally better than normal human punters whom you can get undrafted. I'll see if I can find the article. Considering the net punting yardage difference between top punters and the ones who went undrafted is roughly 3-5 yards per punt, I find drafting a punter to be laughable. Much rather take a 10% chance on a starter at a key position in rounds 5 or later. That sounds like some very bad analysis. A punter who could put the ball at the one yard line every single time should be a first ballot Hall of Famer. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is no "affordable" for Green Bay. The Packers have very little cap space after the draft picks are signed. Maybe $6M? And you have to carry a little bit through the season in case you need to sign someone. Traditionally, Ted carried betwen $5M-$8M in emergency cap space. Plus, we need that cap space for Rodgers' extension. Any amount rolled over can be used for next year and his extension is going to eat up a lot of it. Dez would have to sign for something unbelievably low like $2M for 1 year for it to be possible. It's not going to happen. Edited May 15, 2018 by Phenomena Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seems like want that size mismatch like they used with previous TEs just not enough. I understand Graham being lined up outside completely. He’s a liability as a blocker and is a TE pretty much because of his size. His game is much more WR than TE. Let him get out into space a little and force the D to deal with him. Damn, it is so much fun and heartwarming to see the players riding the bikes from the dorms with the kids running along side. I love this time of the year.

Was interested in seeing his potential...though, with all the draft picks at WR not sure he would make it out of camp. His size was intriguing. This is a big bummer. He was actually a dark horse candidate for me to maybe emerge as a WR4/5 with potential to climb the depth chart. IMO this means Trevor Davis may make the team. I can see them keeping 7 WRs. I had always penciled Clark in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Interseptopus 5,722 Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) options for MLB Jones wouldn't be bad but then we have a hole at safety. but Rollins was drafted as a safety to convert to cb, and he stands to be our cb4 at best. Maybe he converts. Matthew's inside isn't bad either. He has lost his effectiveness outside and that would free up Biegel to jump in. I think I like this option best Anyone regretting passing on Tremaine Edmunds yet Edited July 31, 2018 by Dr. Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
