Packers' Kicking Woes Continue with Trey Smack
The Green Bay Packers are grappling with persistent problems in their special teams, particularly in the kicking department, as fans have witnessed for three consecutive years.
Trey Smack, the latest kicker, has faced criticism after missing a 26-yard field goal and having a 35-yard attempt blocked during a narrow loss to Detroit, followed by another missed extra point against Carolina. This has raised concerns about the team's ability to secure crucial points.
The kicking situation has become a broader organizational issue, with the team cycling through multiple kickers since parting ways with Mason Crosby. Other kickers like Greg Joseph, Alex Hale, and Lenny Krieg have also been unable to provide a reliable solution. The Packers' special teams have struggled with various aspects, including returns and coverage, leaving fans frustrated as the team aims for Super Bowl contention.
