Cheese Curds, 8/28: Packers’ Wednesday moves bolster special teams

Rich Bisaccia has another madman for his special teams units. On Wednesday, the Green Bay Packers addressed their lack of linebackers on the 53-man roster by signing Nick Niemann, bolstering the depth at that position while adding a proven special teams contributor — and one who clearly loves being in that role.

Niemann’s own words demonstrate the attitude he’ll bring to teams, and it’s one that Bisaccia should love. After all, this is the coordinator who has loved players like Zayne Anderson and Dallin Leavitt — guys who have spent their careers as special teams stalwarts — and Keisean Nixon, who came to Green Bay mainly for his contributions on those units.
