The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have failed to do much with their special teams for years on end. It's odd, really. It's not exactly one third of the game, but it's certainly important, and Mark Dominik treated it as a core part of the game. That's why he paid Connor Barth and Michael Koenen ungodly amounts of money. With little result. With Jason Licht coming in two years ago, the Bucs mostly cut out the ungodly amounts of money thing, but the results have remained mediocre.
In his annual special teams rankings, Rick Gosselin of the Dallas Morning News ranks the Bucs' special teams 26th in the NFL.
