The Packers are showing their upgraded focus on special teams by the way the 53-man roster was put together this week.
The off-season hiring of former Raiders coach Rich Bisaccia was the first step.
Green Bay’s decision to sign safety Rudy Ford Wednesday was another indicator.
Ford will be expected to be the Packers’ “gunner” on kick coverage.
He’s one of those players that get down the field faster than everybody else.
The metrics show Green Bay had the worst special teams unit in the NFL last season.
The coaches and players are trying to turn that around.
