Usually the player that gets the bulk of the criticism falls at the lap of Aaron Rodgers.

Mason Crosby is experiencing what Rodgers goes through when everything appears to be on point, but it turns out that a receiver ran the wrong route or a blitzing linebacker wasn’t accounted for — causing the whole play to disintegrate.

“It takes some work. It takes some time,” said Crosby, who owns an 86 percent field goal percentage over the last two seasons. “Justin (Vogel) and Derek (Hart) have to get in synch with their stuff. Then I just have to trust and go.”

The reason why this is an issue is because Crosby missed six of 11 field goals to close the annual Family Night on Saturday. It left Lambeau Field wondering what was wrong when Crosby had a lot of play on his ball from over 30 yards.

“That’s the great thing about having a deal like Family Night,” said Packers special teams coach Ron Zook. “You’re out there in front of 80,000 people. Believe it or not, everybody’s kind of amped up a little bit, things change. One of the things Derek said was, ‘I wish we could do this more often.’ I said, well you’ll get your chance Thursday. We’ll do it again.  And I think that’s probably why other teams practice against each other during camp.”

The rub in this equation is that the holder and long-snapper are rookies. Crosby had long-snapper Brett Goode for the last nine years. You cannot put a value on what Frank Winters meant to Brett Favre, not because of his blocking ability, but because of what he meant to his quarterback. For 11 years, Favre always knew where the ball was going to be. That’s so incredibly huge in a sport that values each second. If Favre had to reach or pick up the ball off the ground a couple times a game, his career arc may have been altered.

Obviously Crosby is a pro’s pro. He turns 33 a week before the season opener vs. Seattle. He’s not going to throw anyone under the bus, but it has to bother him mainly because he knows that people will be quick to blame him for the result rather than looking at the entire operation.

“We all have to better than that, regardless of where the laces are, what not,” Crosby said, who was six-for-eight from 40-plus yards last year. Got to try to knock it through.”

Goode is still available for the Packers to sign, but I don’t see the Packers bringing him into the fold unless this inconsistency continues two or three games into the preseason. And if that happens, you can bet that Zook’s seat will become awfully warm given the high expectations the Packers will have to navigate through. They are tied with Pittsburgh and Atlanta for fifth to win Super Bowl LII behind New England, Dallas, Seattle and Oakland according to Westgate Las Vegas Super Book.

“It’s a consistency thing on all of them,” Zook said, who is entering his third season as the lead man of the Packers’ special teams.
