Green Bay — Five years into his run as the Green Bay Packers general manager, Ted Thompson has yet to fully solve the kicking game. One reason is the Packers have never had the same kicker and punter for consecutive seasons under Thompson's watch. Back in 2005, kicker Ryan Longwell and punter B.J. Sander handled things. The Packers went with Dave Rayner and Jon Ryan in 2006, Mason Crosby and...

Franklin - AP Browse more photos » Greg Bedard pointed out to me that, despite what I said in my recap , the Green Bay Packers did some game planning to prepare for the game at Arizona, while the Cardinals did none. I had read last week that QB Brian Brohm ran the scout team in practice, but I assumed he was playing as QB Jay Cutler to prepare for the season opener....
Everyone loves a good list. But all too often, these kinds of lists turn into a ranking of the team's best players. In today's Top Ten list, the criteria is simple: Who can we simply not afford to lose to injury this season? Better put, who are the top ten players that are central to the success of THIS YEAR'S team--taking into account depth at each position and potential contributions from each player?...
Plackemeier, Brooks, Frost, Groom and Tupa is not a high-powered D.C. law firm. It's also not the long-winded name of a late 1960s rock band. No, Ryan Plackemeier, Durant Brooks, Derrick Frost, Andy Groom and Tom Tupa are the punters whom the Washington Redskins have employed since Danny Smith became their special teams coach in 2004. Include Bryan Barker, Craig Jarrett, Tommy Barnhardt and Matt Turk,...

GM Ted Thompson has a fetish for ex-Washington Redskin punters this season. First P Derrick Frost, now P Durant Brooks has been signed to the practice squad . I haven't ever seen Brooks punt, so I have no idea if this is a good move. I don't think P Jeremy Kapinos is the answer either. But I wasn't enamored with P Jon Ryan either. In 2007, he ranked 14th in net punt average and was 2nd with 11 touchbacks...
One week after replacing the Derrick Frost Experience, Jeremy Kapinos lined up for his inaugural punt as a member of the Green Bay Packers in the first quarter Sunday against the Houston Texans. And he cold-shanked it 25 yards with a hang time of 2.97 seconds.
by Ryan Wilson Filed under: Packers , NFC North , NFL Fans , NFL Coaching Yesterday, Ciskie pointed out that the Packers were still without a punter. (Even though nobody pays them any attention, they are sort of important.) On Monday, they released incumbent Derrick Frost , who was signed just prior to the season opener to replace the inconsistent Jon Ryan . Well, got some good news, Bruce: Green...
The Green Bay Packers did not sign a punter Tuesday and chances are they won't have a replacement for recently released Derrick Frost ready for practice until Thursday.
There were two posts yesterday, one by mkcubs21 another by Mitchell , announcing the happy news that Derrick Frost is an ex-Packer. We don't see the practices, but apparently Frost did have a bit of performance anxiety according to special teams coach Mike Stock : "Is it disappointing for you... It's disappointing for me because I'm responsible for coaching the kid, obviously. He kicked really...
Already, your day is going to be better than Derrick Frost’s. The Packers cut the punter after game 12. May I humbly offer an opinion: Good luck to Derrick in his future endeavors. “Professional Punter” is no way to go through life, son. Now if they could have done something about the kickoff return team. The Brewers [...]
After a month of frustration with their punting game, general manager Ted Thompson and coach Mike McCarthy made the decision to cut punter Derrick Frost.
