GREEN BAY, Wis. \u2014 The annual NFL Scouting Combine is underway in Indianapolis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
One of the topics that Packers General Manager Brian Gutekunst was asked about in a session with local reporters was the recent resignation of Special Teams Coordinator Rich Bisaccia.<\/p>\n
\u201cLosing\u00a0him is tough, just because of what he brought to our football team,\u201d said Gutekunst. \u201cI think there were just other opportunities that he wanted to pursue. He\u2019s coached a long time in the National Football League and, as you know, that can be a grind.\u00a0I think he had some other opportunities that he was looking at. Really good coach. Wherever he ends up, that place is going to be better for it.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Packers\u2019 season ended on a sour note with a playoff loss to the Bears in Chicago. Gutekunst said he knows Packers fans expect more.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe talked a lot about this,\u201d said Gutekunst. \u201cOur ability to be more consistent in situational football and finishing off games. A number of our games the past couple of years, we\u2019ve been up in the games and have not been able to close them out. Our group\u2019s got to get to that point. I\u00a0think we\u2019re on our way there. I really like the guys in our locker room, and I like the makeup of our team. But that\u2019s an area that we have to fix.\u201d<\/p>\n
Even without a first-round draft pick because of the Micah Parsons trade, Gutekunst said he remains confident in the time-tested Packers draft process.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think for me, it goes back to Ron Wolf,\u201d said Gutekunst. \u201cHe got hired there in 1991. He instilled a process that I think we\u2019ve all learned over time. It\u2019s been obviously proven in Green Bay for a number of years. It\u2019s been taken to other organizations and proven as well. I think it\u2019s really about the process and, and really the process over all that time has stayed foundationally the same. Certainly, we\u2019ve tweaked and evolved as the league has.\u00a0But the foundation of how we build our football teams has stayed the same.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gutekunst said players usually don\u2019t make huge moves, up or down, his draft board Combine week. He said the medical exams and physical testing help the Packers gather information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"GREEN BAY, Wis. \u2014 The annual NFL Scouting Combine is underway in Indianapolis.\u00a0 One of the topics that…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":775399,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2072],"tags":[1615,1613,15638,7,41,345,2514,2513,88,6,428,9,1004,991],"class_list":{"0":"post-775398","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-green-bay-packers","8":"tag-app-sports","9":"tag-app-top-stories","10":"tag-dennis-krause","11":"tag-football","12":"tag-green-bay","13":"tag-green-bay-packers","14":"tag-greenbay","15":"tag-greenbaypackers","16":"tag-news","17":"tag-nfl","18":"tag-packers","19":"tag-sports","20":"tag-top-stories","21":"tag-wisconsin"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116131328379585481","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775398","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=775398"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/775398\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/775399"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=775398"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=775398"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=775398"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
