“That Wouldn’t Be The Answer”

Wednesday, October 17th, 2018

Take a seat, Mr. Anger.

Bryan Anger is one of the better punters in the NFL, but he needs to reduce his workload the rest of this season. The Bucs require maximum possessions to compensate for a historically bad defense.

Ira Kaufman’s 10 Takeaways From Falcons-Bucs
