McGaughey > Armstrong

More talent

NEW rule for kickoffs

Where will the Bucs Special teams rank and does it become a difference maker this season? McGaughey had the Giants in the top 10 in a number of categories

It's a small sample size, but both the Chiefs and the Ravens seemed comfortable with touchbacks and starts on the 30.

Yes that is a good point.  

 

Maybe the impact the kickoff change isn't felt until/unless the rules evolve a little further. 

Still, the Special teams should be better overall

Packers with a directional kick that pins Eagles back. 

turnover leads to 2nd Packer FG (should’ve had a TD)

I really can't complain about the Friday game.  It was at a time when there otherwise wouldn't be a game.  It wasn't a playoff game, and it was an out of market game.  Yeah I would have liked to watch the game because it was a good matchup, but if the NFL wants to put games like that on Peacock or Apple plus then I really can't begrudge them for that because there's not normally a game on Friday night anyway.  I didn't watch it, but I don't begrudge them for it.

Didn’t even think about that.  I have it for a different team but totally get your point.

Bad special teams could be a real difference maker. Hopefully the Bucs won't have bad special teams. (fingers crossed)
