According to reports, the first day of new punter Jeremy Kapinos with the Packers went well. The Green Bay Press-Gazette says, "New punter Jeremy Kapinos drew some cheers and applause when his first practice punt as a Packer spiraled near the ceiling of The Don Hutson Center." The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel provides more details: "When Kapinos launched his first punt inside the Don Hutson Center 50 yards downfield with lots of hang time, he drew a number of loud 'Woooo's from the players. When he did it again on his second punt, this time dropping it along the sideline, the cheers from the gallery got even louder."
But was every punt today a winner? Not quite. The Journal-Sentinel continues, "Most of the rest of his punts were between 45 and 50 yards, but he only got the same hangtime on one other punt. In all, he punted eight times and of those eight two would be classified as low liners." Apparently, that was still good enough for his teammates. According to the Press-Gazette, "it was clear by the reaction of his new teammates that Kapinos' arrival has been well-received." Guess the fans weren't the only ones who were glad to see former punter Derrick Frost hit the road.
But as both of these reports note, Frost also was apparently a good practice punter; he just couldn't carry it over to games. So until we see Kapinos in a game, we won't know for sure what we have. Still, the Packers liked him enough to sign him to a two-year contract.
Oh, Kapinos is a left-footed punter, too. Which puts a different spin on the ball than most punt returners are used to...which could perhaps lead to a muff. At this stage of things, we'll take whatever advantage we can get, right?
Kapinos will not hold for kicker Mason Crosby's place kicks. That duty will fall to backup QB Matt Flynn.
The Packers official website has a nice write-up on Kapinos. You can find it here. The Press-Gazette and Journal-Sentinel reports can be found here and here respectively.
Let's hope the Pack uncovered a gem in the punting game ala Craig Hentrich. That would make up for the last left-footed punter we had (does the name B.J. Sander ring a bell?) as well as the roughly 9 or so others the Packers have tried since they let Hentrich walk away.

Packers boot punter Frost
After 12 games of mediocre punting -- and that's being generous -- punter Derrick Frost has been released by the Packers, according to an official news release from the team. Curiously, the release doesn't indicate who, if anyone, has now been signed as the punter for the rest of the season. It spends more time talking about the Pack finally placing LB Nick Barnett and DE Kenny Pettway on injured reserve and the signings of DT Alfred Malone and CB Joe Porter from the practice squad to take their roster spots.
Frost was booed handily after 3 of his 4 punts yesterday at Lambeau.
Frost ranked 23rd in the league in overall punting. Jon Ryan, who was released the week before the start of the regular season -- at the behest of special teams coach, Mike Stock (and who should also get the boot at the end of the season, by the way) -- to make room for Frost, is currently ranked 5th overall in the league. Nice call, coach Stock.
There are not currently that many good free agent punters available to be picked up, so it will be interesting to see exactly who GM Ted Thompson has in the wings to replace Frost before Sunday's game against the Texans. Hopefully, he won't be taking any more of coach Stock's suggestions. According to a report in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, the Packers are going to work out three punters tomorrow: Paul Ernster, Durant Brooks and Jeremy Kapinos. Check out the article for more details.
The Frost departure also means that K Mason Crosby is going to have to get used to yet another holder for his place kicks. This will be his third holder since the last week of preseason.

Day-after game analysis: What the (fill in the blank)?
My pregame score prediction for last night's Packers-Saints game was 30-24 Packers. Well, I was close on the Pack, who wound up with 29. But the Saints? I was just a smidgen off on that one. But after reviewing my notes, I found that I had actually factored those 24 points as the first half score only for the Saints and forgot that I needed to double it for the final outcome.
OK...that's not true. Just trying to have a little fun. You know, gallows humor kind of thing.
But there was nothing funny about the way the Pack got sliced and diced last night in the Big Easy.
The Pack's season-long flaws were on display for all to see: no pass rush, average linebacking, horrible punter and sieve-like special teams coverage, vanilla defensive schemes. A new starting QB and defensive backfield -- the former actually in the top 5 in the league and the latter heretofore the best in the league -- were also not at their finest. The running game? Looked OK to start, but as the third quarter spiraled out of control, that had to be shelved entirely.
A couple observations, for what they're worth.
First, special teams coach Mike Stock should be sent packing, along with his chosen punter, Derrick Frost, after the season. His dumping of Jon Ryan for Frost has been a major personnel blunder. When a punter is shanking and short-kicking the ball in a dome, you know there's problems. Combine that side of things with horrible punt and kick coverage...think about it: seemingly every time the Packers have a score and get some momentum the kick coverage team gives up a big return and fritters that momentum away in a matter of seconds.
Second, defensive coordinator Bob Sanders should also be shown the door. Now, granted, injuries and GM Ted Thompson combined not to do him any favors in terms of the personnel on the defensive line. Other than Aaron Kampman, the Packers have no pass rush whatsoever. Combine this with the fact that the Packers rarely if ever blitz, and a quarterback like Drew Brees has easy pickin's, just like last night. Example: somewhere along the way the Saints had a 3rd and 15, if I recall. The Packers dropped 8 into coverage and "rushed" 3 -- I put rushed in quotes because it is really more a euphemism than an actual description of what happened. Brees had all the time in the world to find an open receiver and get the first down. Hey, coach Sanders...here's a new scheme for you: why don't you just drop everyone into coverage and not rush anyone at all...if would work just as well as what you're calling now.
Yes, injuries along the D-line are playing a role. But so is the fact that Thompson, with a boatload of salary cap money to spend in the offseason to bolster that line, essentially did nothing.
So, what next? Nothing to do but get ready on a short week for the 8-3 Carolina Panthers. At least it's home at Lambeau. But unless the Pack regains the attitude they had in demolishing Da Bearz -- and gets it back this weekend -- we might as well start thinking about draft picks for next season. We aren't there yet. But with what's broken on the Packers, there are no quick fixes. Chicago and Minnesota play each other this weekend in the HumpDome. The Pack needs to win to stay just one game behind in the Division, even with the win. If they drop the game to Carolina, they'll be 2 back with just 4 games left. Not impossible, especially with games against Da Bearz and the Lions among them. Winning out is what's needed. But is it likely? You need to make that call for yourself.
Which team is the real Packers? The one that smacked Da Bearz? Or the team that got whipped by the Saints? The Packers have been inconsistent all season long. That pattern, regrettably, seems to be the only thing that's been consistent about this team.

End of 1st quarter: Packers 7 - Saints 14
No Reggie Bush for the Saints tonight. And for the Pack, RT Mark Tauscher goes to the locker room early with a reported hamstring injury.
The Packers struck first, with a TD drive set up by a good punt return by Will Blackmon and finished off with a 1-yard TD plunge by FB John Kuhn. Then the Saints came back on a 70 yard pass in the flat and a blown coverage by Atari Bigby, who never laid a hand on the receiver. Then the Pack, courtesy of yet another lousy punt by Derrick Bush, set up the Saints at the Packers own 41. A few plays later, the score is 14-7 Saints.
The Packers are getting no pressure whatsoever on Saints QB Drew Brees, which is going to make for a long night unless they figure out a way to do so. Conversely, Aaron Rodgers has been off on a few throws and seems not yet to be in sync. He missed a wide open Greg Jennings on what would have been a sure TD had he not underthrown the ball; Rodgers' reaction, caught by the Monday Night Football cameras, showed he was well aware of that.

Second-guessing aplenty over Packers' loss
The call-in phone lines to radio sports shows in Wisconsin were buzzing in the aftermath of the Pack's gut-wrenching 28-27 loss to the ViQueens yesterday. Comments that were common to most if not all discussions (I'm making some assumptions as obviously I couldn't listen to all such shows...a-duh!) included: the dreadful offensive line play, the questionable play calling, the abundance of penalties, terrible punting, questions about Coach McCarthy's TD challenge near the end of the game, the missed field goal, the inability to convert third downs, the stellar play of the Packers defensive backs, Nick Barnett's injury, the continuing inability to stop the run...does that about cover it?
Veteran left tackle Chad Clifton was the target of some discussion. A common theme is that he is perhaps starting to show his age, and his bad knees. Jared Allen beat him like a rented mule all day long. Of course, the rest of the offensive line play was equally bad. About the only player that seemed to hold up well was right tackle Mark Tauscher. But one guy doing his job isn't going to make much difference when the rest of the line is getting beat play after play. And the guy at QB that the team just gave a boatload of long-term money to won't be around very long if he doesn't get better protection than he's getting now. Aaron Rodgers took a beating yesterday. Some of it was his fault for holding the ball too long. But in general, he was getting smacked like a piñata throughout the game.
Coach McCarthy's challenge of Adrian Peterson's TD with a little over 2 minutes remaining in the game mystified not only the on-air game commentators at the time but also the majority of fans afterward. If successful, all it would have allowed Minnesota to do would be to have the ball at the 1 and run more time off the clock. Instead, it just cost the Pack what was a valuable timeout going to the final 2 minutes of the game. It made no sense.
And with the ball in great field position -- the Packers own 41 -- with 2:15, one timeout and the 2 minute warning left, Coach McCarthy got conservative in his play calling. Worse, his formations gave the defense every clue as to what they were going to try to do, run. This against a stout run defense. No surprises, and not much to show for it. If not for the lucky bounce of a deflected pass into Donald Driver's hands the Pack may not even have had that shot at the final field goal attempt.
While K Mason Crosby had hit 60-yarders in warmups, not being able to set him up closer -- again, given the starting position and time remaining -- was a failure of play calling and execution. It was a makeable 52-yarder, yes. But it shouldn't have come down to that play or that distance.
One of the other negative factors that has become almost so commonplace as to be ignored despite its continual mediocrity is the punting game. Special teams coach Mike Stock talked GM Ted Thompson and Coach McCarthy into dumping Jon Ryan the week before the start of the regular season for supposed directional punter Derrick Frost. Frost has been a disaster, getting off short punts which -- as yesterday -- keep giving the opposing team great field position. Oh, yeah, Frost currently ranks 24th in the league in punting average. The guy we dumped, Jon Ryan, currently ranks 10th. So much for that great idea.
The seriousness of Nick Barnett's knee injury is still an unknown. He was on crutches and the cart after the game, according to reports. He's having tests today to determine if it's an ACL injury or something less serious. In either case, the linebacking corps will take a hit at least in the short run.
We could go on and on...and might, later on. But if you want to get a really excellent overview of the how and why of this latest loss, and its implications for the rest of the season, check out the article in today's Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel by Bob McGinn who, as always, has some great insights.
There are only seven games left. As McGinn states, "The Packers find themselves trailing 10 teams, including Tampa Bay, Atlanta and Dallas that all hold the tie-breaking advantage over them, and tied with still another club in the NFC. Six teams will make the playoffs." Unless the Packers somehow flick a switch and get their you-know-what together starting with Da Bearz game this coming Sunday and running through the rest of the season it is going to be an uphill battle. Fortunately, they play in the NFC North. That at least provides a ray of hope. But it is one which, if significant improvements don't happen quickly, won't matter much in the end.

Packers punt Ryan, name Flynn #2 QB
News came late yesterday that the Packers released their punter of a couple years, Jon Ryan, and replaced him with former Redskins' punter, Derrick Frost. This was one of those possibilities that seemed to fly under the radar most of training camp. Ryan had a poor opening preseason game against Cincinnati, but boomed his way back to a 54.8 yards per punt average in the last two games.
Apparently, though, it was this inconsistency issue that doomed Ryan's stay with the Packers. There has never been a question about his leg strength. But, to paraphrase Forrest Gump, Ryan's punting was like a box of chocolates: you never knew what you're going to get.
The same, it would seem, could also be said about Frost, however. According to an article in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel, "Last season, Frost started like gangbusters, averaging 45.9 yards per punt in the first three games, but his season gradually went south, starting with a poor performance against the Packers Oct. 14. He went from fourth in the league in gross average and seventh in net after three games to 28th and 16th after seven weeks." The article continued with the comparative stats: Ryan ranked ninth in gross average (44.4) and 11th in net (37.6) while Frost was 28th (41.0) in gross and 22nd in net (36.4).
So, why the move? Apparently, like many jobs, it's who you know. In this case, Packers' special teams coach, Mike Stock, had coached at Washington when Frost was first trying to land a position as an undrafted free agent. He liked Frost then. In fact, according to the above-mentioned article, "When Stock was special teams coach in Washington, he tried to get Frost to sign as an undrafted rookie, but Frost wound up signing with Philadelphia. Later, Frost attended a tryout camp for NFL Europa where he worked with Stock. 'If it makes any sense, Mike Stock is the special teams coach I know the most and haven’t played for,' Frost said."
Stock was apparently able to convince GM Ted Thompson that Frost was a safer pick to go forward with than Ryan.
Frost will also take over the holding duties on field goals and extra points from Ryan. He held for kickers all four of his seasons in the NFL and also in college at Northern Iowa.
Given that the Packers also now have a new long snapper, Brett Goode, and Frost as the new holder, and less than a week to get in sync with kicker Mason Crosby, things could be quite an adventure for the kicking game early on. Expect opposing special teams units to test things with additional pressure.
Not a situation one would have hoped for less than a week before the regular season kickoff.
Flynn named #2 QB
Not too surprisingly based upon performances in the preseason, seventh-round pick Matt Flynn was named yesterday by Coach Mike McCarthy as the immediate backup to starting QB Aaron Rodgers. He beat out the more highly regarded Brian Brohm.
According to a report in the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Coach McCarthy said, “We just felt Matt was a little more productive than Brian in the preseason. But it’s a competition that will continue. Matt has to hold the spot, and Brian will have an opportunity to get the spot back. Competition is healthy. They’re both young. I’ve said it all along, they just need to play; they just need reps.” But, as the article points out, most of Brohm's reps now will come with the scout team while the few backup QB snaps with the first team offense will go to Flynn.
It was clear to those watching the preseason games that -- barring the Pack picking up a veteran QB to back up Rodgers -- Flynn should have the job. Particularly in the last game against the Titans, leading an excellent two-minute drive that brought the Pack within a 2-point conversion of tying the game, Flynn reminded at least a few fans of another young gun once upon a time. What was that guy's name? Oh, yeah...Brett Favre.
Congrats, Mr. Flynn. And, Mr. Brohm...keep on keepin' on. Many Packer fans thought you were a steal in the draft. You didn't perform up to even your own expectations so far. But that's so far. There are many miles to go...
