TAMPA —- The Bucs' punting unit — P Bryan Anger and the coverage team, led by gunners Josh Robinson and Russell Shepard — has been one of the team's biggest strengths, ranking fifth in the NFL in net punting entering Thursday with an average of 44.3 yards, which would break the franchise record by 4 yards.
Opponents are averaging just 5.0 yards per return, which was third lowest in the NFL, but the Bucs will have a challenge this week in Chiefs rookie Tyreek Hill, who led the NFL with 327 yards on punt returns.
