Are you kidding me? The almighty punter has spoken. Apparently upset by the fact that the Packers were no longer interested in the services of a shitty punter Jeremy Kapinos had this to say:
“While I do admit I needed to improve and I was at fault for some of it, I won’t agree with anyone I was the lone liability. I think it’s very irresponsible to place the blame on one person. (Special teams) won’t improve if that’s the philosophy, I would hope there is a sense of accountability across the board.” (thanks to the Press-Gazette)
Kapinos must have learned from the school of Ryan Longwell. Longwell never missed a kick while he was in Green Bay. “We” might have missed one, but Longwell was perfect. I suppose there may be a lot of other things involved in punting a football high and long and we layman will never know the intricacies of the art (insert smiley here). Good luck in your future endeavors Mr. Kapinos.
What pisses me off is I was going to comment on this tomorrow but the little baby beat me to it. I loved Mike McCarthy’s quote about Kapinos at the combine – “For him to be on our team next year, he needs to improve. The performance in that position will improve with him or without him.”
I think the coach hurt the kid’s feelings. Anybody want to take bets Kapinos never punts again in the NFL?
That is good stuff, Maynard. Good stuff.
