Just barely, though.

Masthay never gets enough credit. Punters are people, too!

Pretty sure the Pack were in the top 16 last year as well; haven’t given up a TD in almost 2 years.

Crosby had the second-worst FG%, I believe Akers was worse. Still God-awful, but considering Akers was 44-48, setting an NFL record last year, it seems kicking can be unpredictable to say the least. I say let’s see what Crosby does in the first 3-4 games next year before we levy judgement.

Pack have an amazing coverage and punt team as well, it’s not just kick returns ans FGs.

Most likely the person responsible for the better special teams play is Cobb. Without him they would have been ranked low again. The punter did well also, but that has nothing to do with the special teams coach.

Cobb probably would have done better had the special teams been better.
