Packers aren't ready to admit defeat on this plan for their special teams

The Green Bay Packers might have a special teams problem, but they're not ready to give up all hope on it improving just yet. And, they shouldn't.

The team has been utilizing rookies in Savion Williams and Matthew Golden this season as punt returners, and the early returns on that experiment have been less than stellar.

Multiple instances of both returners having lapses in judgment on when to call for a fair catch, or when to let the ball go where it'll go, or simply having inefficient returns, have resulted in a huge microscope being placed on the Packers' decision to have the two rookies handle a key responsibility like this with not a lot of relief.
