We’re going through the Tampa Bay Buccaneers roster position by position to see if the team improved compared to last year. Today: special teams.
2016 roster: KRoberto Aguayo, LS Andrew DePaola, P Bryan Anger, P Jacob Schum
Last year, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers had a disastrous year of special teams. Jacob Schum was brought in to replace the overly expensive and increasingly mediocre Michael Koenen, but he was a bottom-of-the-league punter himself. His struggles were nothing compared to the team’s kickers, though. Kyle Brindza won a three-way training camp competition, and proceeded to play a huge role in the team’s first four losses by missing half of his kicks.
