Packers' assistant on special teams woes: 'Mason Crosby deserves better'

GREEN BAY – There are several reasons why Green Bay Packers special teams coach Maurice Drayton must fix the broken-down kicking operation, not the least of which is he might not have a job if it continues all season.

But Drayton identified a less self-serving reason for it.

“Mason Crosby deserves better,” said Drayton, referring to the Packers’ veteran kicker and all-time leading scorer. “Well, I owe him. We owe him and we're going to make it happen.”

Crosby has missed more field goals (six) in nine games this season then he missed in his previous 39 games dating to the 2018 season and on most of them, there was something wrong with the hold or snap.
