This puts Camarda in Bucs’ history as the second punter in their franchise to win this award, and the first player in Tampa Bay to receive special teams player of the month since 2012, according too Buccaners.com

Through the initial three games of the season, he has punt for 768 total yard and 629 net yards.

Camarda has done it all for the Bucs. He performs their kickoffs each game along with his responsibilities as a punter, which he has flourished in. Let’s also not forget the recovery of the football he had on a blocked kick. He’s one of the more atheltic punters in the game that you’ll find.

Amongst the other punters in the NFL, Camarda leads the league in average yards per punt (54.9) along with being tied for longest punt at 74 with Ryan Stonehouse. His seven punts inside the 20 are third around the league.

Given the situation that the Bucs are in, they’re going to need to win in the special teams phase, which Camarda has been a big help in.

The Bucs and Camarda have a huge test this week against the New Orleans Saints. Typically they have great special teams  units. This includes returner Rashid Shaheed, who already has a punt return touchdown this season. In a game where the two teams are similar, a special teams play might make the difference in the game. It’ll be up to Camarda to neutralize New Orleans in the battle for field position.
