MASON CROSBY RUMORS & GOSSIP
Major Issues Linger on Packers' Special Teams

1) Introduction: My my, what do we do with Mason Crosby. On one hand, Crosby had one of the biggest meltdowns for a kicker of late.

Midway through the season, when Crosby had missed five of his last nine field goals, coach Mike McCarthy stated repeatedly that there would not be a change. Green Bay never even brought in another kicker for a tryout. Crosby was going...

Crosby's field-goal accuracy down in 2012

Packers Family Night Faux Pas: Messing with Mason Crosby
Why?
Packers kicker Mason Crosby was having a near-perfect camp. Everything was going swimmingly. I haven’t had to write about him or even so much as mention his name the past week. (Which is the way I like it).
Then the Packers decided to mess with a good thing on Family Night.
