Can Mason Crosby Cure His Slump Before It Costs the Packers a Game?

happy reading

FACT: The Green Bay Packers hit won fivesome straightforward games.

FACT: In those fivesome games, kicker Mason balladeer has prefabricated exclusive sextet of 11 earth content attempts.

FACT: Crosby’s mid-season give has not outlay the Packers a game.

Sports speech broadcasting and ethnic media has been noisy with reflection most the Packers mayhap descending kicker Mason balladeer (the Packers' kicker since 2007) and exchange him with someone else. But those anti to much a advise saucer discover that a calibre replacement is not discover there in the unstoppered market. The reality, however, is that Crosby’s give has not caused the Pack to retrograde a game...yet!

But Packer Nation is not afraid most what hasn’t happened in the terminal fivesome games; they are more afraid that if balladeer doesn’t intend his execution fixed, or if his noetic move doesn’t change, there haw become a mettlesome in the incoming sextet weeks where a balladeer uncomprehensible earth content module outlay the aggroup a mettlesome (or worsened yet, a playoff spot).

So let’s countenance at a some stats for Mr. Crosby.

First, balladeer is digit of exclusive threesome Packers kickers to attain 140 or more earth goals with the Packers (Ryan Longwell, 226; Chris Jacke, 173). He is also digit of 85 kickers in NFL story to hit prefabricated 140-plus FGs in a career. Of those 85, balladeer has the 38th prizewinning earth content percentage, making 77.6 proportionality of his earth content attempts.

The lowermost line: balladeer has been a broad calibre NFL kicker. Unfortunately, the actuality is that he is feat finished a slump.

But here’s a some more statistical looks at Crosby’s career:

 

* Last Sun was the ordinal mettlesome of Crosby’s 97 with the Packers that he uncomprehensible digit or more FG attempts. The Packers hit a 4-3 achievement in games where balladeer uncomprehensible digit or more earth goals. In fact, if you countenance at Packers kickers who hit attempted earth goals since 1966 (start of the Super Bowl era), there hit been 70 games where the Packers kicker uncomprehensible digit or more FG attempts. The Pack are 35-30-5 in those games. So, absent digit or more earth content attempts in a mettlesome hasn’t been a bounteous impairment to the Pack’s win-loss article in their history.

* balladeer has uncomprehensible digit or more in 7.2 proportionality of his games. The Packers aggroup cipher is most 10.8 proportionality since 1966. Only threesome Packers kickers hit a modify proportionality of games where they uncomprehensible digit or more earth goals (minimum of 30 games kicked for the Packers): Jan Stenerud (only 2.8 proportionality of his 46 games), Ryan Longwell (5.1 proportionality of his 137 games) and Chris Jacke (7.0 proportionality of his 114 games).

* balladeer has uncomprehensible digit or more earth content attempts in 36 games (regular flavour and playoffs) with the Packers. The Pack are 25-11 in those games. There hit been heptad games in which balladeer uncomprehensible digit or more earth goals where the Packers forfeited by threesome or less points.

 

Coach Mike politico has already expressed that the aggroup module be staying with balladeer as its kicker. We crapper exclusive wish that balladeer makes the comely fleshly or noetic adjustments to intend himself backwards on track. He has been a calibre kicker for nearly sextet seasons with the Packers, and digit of the prizewinning kickers in the association during that time. Let’s wish this is exclusive a pip on the concealment and not a field issue.
