Im not here to make excuses for him or say he's a victim, he's not. But his bosses have basically said to him, when your guys go out to kick FGs, you don't have access to a couple of the best blockers on the team. They're here, but you can't use these guys, you have to use a couple of the worst blockers on our roster instead. Here's a tackle from the PS, and a TE who is so bad at blocking we can barely play him. But here you go, make it work. Likewise, we can't give you access to a core, 4 unit ST player sitting on our practice squad, because league rules and general depth decisions make it unpalatable for us to have 6 ILBs elevated on game day, so you only get one of our best ST LBs instead of two. What should we expect? For one thing, I expect that when anyone makes a mistake on ST, the coach will correct it before it turns into a catastrophe. But what else is he supposed to do?

i wonder how many teams put their best players on special teams? i know some do, but i'd love to know what %.
 
I could understand Richie ST units not doing well if he was not given assets to improve the ST. But fact is they draft players to help ST and have signed FA (Nixon) to be a core ST. He also it seems has a say at cutdown day on being able to keep players who will do pretty much nothing but ST.

They let him shop for groceries but ends up buying stale bread and brown bananas

We have the menacing arm block, what could go wrong
 
Wisconsin will start QB Hunter Simmons against Michigan. The center is a former OT who has never snapped before. This could get ugly fast.
 
When you have issues that happen across many years, across coaching assistants, and across multiple HCs it’s probably not the coaches that are the root of the issue. GB has OL and ST issues stretching back years.
 
So pre-season the fans were being homers on the coaching staff hyping up Bo Melton as a CB. As of the first 4 games he's been just that all hype. He has not played one snap on defense and only 3 snaps as a WR in week 3 when the team was short at WR. Outside of that when he's been active he only played on ST.

Said in the pre-season converting to a new position is not easy and would have been best to cut him and put him on the PS. All the homer fans on social media thought you could not cut him he would get claimed right away. I believe the Packers did not have one player claimed off waivers at the end of TC. Packers roster is not that good that other teams will want our players. They are young and inexperienced and most teams won't want a back end of roster player that needs time to develop on there roster as they are cutting there own guys that are like that.
