Kinda off topic: how bad was our offense that we punted almost 50% more than TB?

Packers had 81 punts.
Buccaneers had 56 punts.

25 more punts for the Packers. Hmm

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have started their initial roster cuts by releasing Jacob Schum, Greg Auman of the Tampa Bay Times reports. The punter was competing with Bryan Anger for a roster spot, and soundly lost that battle. Schum doesn’t really have the leg to be a competent NFL punter, and he produced one of the worst net(41.9) and gross (38.0) punting averages in the league last year. Schum averaged 39.9 yards per punt this preseason.

Meanwhile, Anger is a former third-round pick with a big leg who averaged 47 gross yards per punt over his four-year career, and 40.5 yards net. He averaged a whopping 49.2 yards per punt this preseason, so him winning this punting battle isn’t exactly a surprise. Hopefully, the Bucs will finally have a decent punting game, after years of mediocrity at the position.
