Thinking back to 2014 and that awful NFC championship game in Seattle where a fake field goal started a Seahawks run towards the improbable and then looking at the image above, the Packers have been a special teams punching bag for the rest of the NFL for too long.
Packers opponents accepted 26 penalties on special teams last season. That was the highest total in the last 10 years. Another seven were declined. Those numbers are the definition of "sloppy" when it comes to special teams play.
New head coach Matt LaFleur hired Shawn Mennenga as new special teams coach and also gave him an extra staff member, quality control coach Rayna Stewart, to help turn things around.
