GREEN BAY — Shawn Mennenga looked a bit beaten down on Wednesday.
The Green Bay Packers second-year special teams coordinator has been in the coaching business for a long time, and he knows being in charge of the special-teams units presents its own set of unique problems. So much of what those groups do are one-shot deals — as he and others before him have often pointed out, there is no second down or third down on special teams — and things can go wrong in a myriad of ways.
At the same time, Mennenga gets that criticism comes with the territory — and that his crew has made enough mistakes to merit such scrutiny.
