Punt God II?
September 11th, 2022
Bucs punter Jake Camarda.
Bucs rookies got a lot of snaps tonight. And that included punter Jake Camarda.
And in his first NFL game, Camarda did something no other NFL punter has done in a regular season game. Camarda hit the massive scoreboard that hangs over the middle of the Jerry’s World field.
Charean Williams of Pro Football Talk, a Dallas-based writer and long-time Cowboys beat reporter, noted the only punter who had hit the Jerry’s World famous scoreboard in a game that counted was Bryan Anger who did so in a January playoff game.
Word spreading through the press box at Jerry’s World is that twice in preseason games a punt hit that Texas-sized scoreboard.
Joe knows the Bucs were giddy to land Camarda because of his hang time. Well, if you can hit that scoreboard, you’ve got some kind of leg — and hang time.
Since Punt God I might be out of football for the foreseeable future, perhaps Camarda can become “Punt God II?”

I can dig that. You guys value hangtime over distance? It’s more strategic

The telecast noted that Cowboys punter Angerer says he can hit the scoreboard “on command.” I don’t think high pop flies to the 2nd basemen that hit the catwalk at the trop make any batter a god either.

Who is Jake Curmada?

Luke Goedeke did his job tonight as well.

Punter looked good tonight…..

He better learn to speed up that kicking motion or its going to get blocked

Big thing, the Cowboys only had 3 return yards, and Camarda had 2 inside the 20, with the one touchback (which still bounced over the goalline for the TB).
Overall he did well.
But of course the Bucs get screwed on the roughing the kicker call, every other time in history that is roughing the kicker. The guy gets killed for a meaningless 5 yards.

That will get you on the Pat Macafee show lol. Pat has talked about how every punter will take a shot at that score board in Dallas

Makes one think Jerry’s scoreboard was designed in conjunction with the catwalks at The Trop.

That scoreboard is BEAUTIFUL. Third time have been to that stadium and at times you have to force yourself to watch the game on the field and not the scoreboard.

He looks solid

don’t call him that Joes -PLEASE!
IT did not end well for the 1st.

I smell a punt block coming unless Camarda makes some adjustments or the protection gets better.

THAT’S the problem! Your eye is drawn to a video screen instead of the live action. I HATE giant video boards at concerts. I didn’t pay a premium to watch an extremely loud video. Pet peeve.

And yeah, retire this “punt god” garbage.

He didn’t just tap it either, that thing was still headed up with some force.
September 12th, 2022 at 12:40 am
Um… yea there’s a special team problem.

the legend is born…
When he hit it, the scoreboard moved and the roof cracked open.

Not Punt God lI. Call him Boomer.
BTW, Succor was sub-optimal. Should be no misses inside 45.

Horrible and unoriginal nickna!e. You can do better than that, Joe. Try when you’re sober!

He really showed that JL knows what he’s doing – he punted the ball well, and flipped field position when they need him to – Kid earned his draft grade
