Packers | Mason Crosby being pushed hard Wed Aug 14, 12:13 PM
Green Bay Packers PK Mason Crosby is being pushed hard by PK Giorgio Tavecchio in training camp, and the decision on who wins the starting job is expected to come down to the final three preseason games. Crosby has reportedly outperformed Tavecchio on kickoffs in camp, while Tavecchio has made 89.7 percent (35 of 39) field goals, as opposed to 76.9 percent (30 of 39) for Crosby.
| Footballguys view: Crosby has been one of the first kickers take in recent years, but you shouldn't even think about taking him until we're certain that he is the Packers kicker. |

Green Bay Packers PK Mason Crosby made only three of his eight field goal attempts during practice Saturday, Aug. 3. Head coach Mike McCarthy said he will need to perform better if he wants to keep his kicker job. PK Giorgio Tavecchio made six of his seven attempts but appeared to barely have the leg strength for the longer field goals.
| Footballguys view: Crosby is not safe to draft right now. Tavecchio should be one of the better kickers to own if he wins the job. McCarthy said ominously said Crosby's performance is "not going to cut it" in an interesting choice of words. |

| Footballguys view: We'll take note of the RB Hampton here. He began his college career at Iowa and is an instinctive RB with a nice blend of size/speed and moves in the open field. He falls to the PFA ranks because of injury concerns but could be very productive as a full time RB if he stays healthy and gets an opportunity. |
