GREEN BAY – The Packers’ coordinators met with the media Tuesday. Here’s a sampling of their key comments.

Special teams coordinator Rich Bisaccia

On S Zayne Anderson‘s contributions:

Zayne, obviously the biggest thing to look at is when we lost him at the end of last year, what happened. We gave up a couple plays. He was in a valuable spot for us, so having him back, he’s kind of a leader by example whether it’s in practice or in the meeting room. He’s a vital part of what we’re trying to do here and what we’re trying to build here, and he’s a good player. He gets free, and he makes tackles. A lot of respect to him because he gets doubled a bunch on the kickoff team.

On K Brandon McManus getting past his injury:

I’d like to hope so. I think that’s what it showed on Sunday, right? The biggest place to look at is the timing of what he was doing was good, but then his kickoffs. His kickoffs, location-wise, were really good. There was one of those two touchbacks we’d like to have back, but his location on the kicks worked really well.

On building some momentum on special teams:

We talked about it earlier in the year. We’ve gone through some changes, we lost Nick (Niemann) for a little bit and (Isaiah) McDuffie in this particular game; he played every snap of defense, so we took him off three phases. Again, it’s ever-changing for us week in and week out, but you’d like to think everywhere on your team that as the season’s going on you’re starting to create some chemistry with the guys that are you playing, and you’d like to think you’re going to keep improving. We still think we have a lot of football left ahead of us.

On LB Arron Mosby‘s play:

He’s athletic, he’s big, he can run, can make you miss, he can run through you and when he does it right, he’s hard to block. So there’s another guy that we didn’t have earlier in the year playing and now that he’s been active and been put up, he’s been playing five phases for us. I think he’s getting ready to play some of his best ball as we get going here through the later part of the season.

On Lions returner Kalif Raymond:

He’s got great speed. He’s an aggressive player. He wants to do it. He wants to get the ball in his hand, so he’s been a little bit of an issue. He’s had a big 65-yard touchdown this year and once he sees a clearing, he hits it pretty fast. He doesn’t really hesitate, so he makes good decisions back there, as well. I think this is my 18th game against Dave Fipp as a special teams coordinator, going against each other. He was in Philly the whole time I was in Dallas and now he’s been here the whole time I’ve been here and so it’s a lot of games going against one guy. We have a lot of tape against each other and so we kinda know what each other do. Coming up with something new is kinda hard.

On P Daniel Whelan climbing toward elite level:

He’s certainly an ascending player. I think he’s catching up to the elite players in the league. The one thing I think that’s been interesting for us having him is he plays really well in December and later in the year, and he’s played in some unbelievable wind conditions here in Lambeau and what we played a week ago, what he did at Giants Stadium. He works extremely hard at it and I think he trusts the guys on the outside and trusts the protection, so I’d like to think he’s going to get in the elite status here pretty soon.
