Well, it wasn’t Leonard Fournette, but the Bucs did make a move…At kicker.
Coach Bruce Arians said the Bucs need to see more consistency out of their kicker.
“We can’t miss extra points,” Arians said Sunday. “We can’t give away the easy points. Kicks inside the 30-yard line should be automatic.
“If you can hit a 56-yarder, that’s great. But when we drive the ball down to the 10 and miss a field goal, there’s nothing that tears a team more apart on offense than just, ‘Hey, we just took the ball down the field. We didn’t get any points.’ So the gimmes — who’s the most consistent? If you can do that and still kick 56, 57, now you’re All-Pro.”
