Throwback Thursday: Carl Nassib goes full Michael Scott

Check out this Instagram post from Buccaneers pass rusher Carl Nassib, referencing his love for the TV show “The Office.”

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hoping to get pass rusher Carl Nassib back this week in time for Sunday’s Week 11 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.

Nassib, who has 3.0 sacks on the season, missed last week’s win over the Arizona Cardinals with a groin injury. But, he was a limited participant in practice yesterday, which is a positive sign.

In honor of Nassib’s (impending) return, we thought we’d do a throwback to Nassib and his love of “The Office.”

It’s Scarn, Michael Scarn.

Anytime an athlete references “The Office” you have to pay respect.

For those wondering what Nassib is talking about, I give to you, “Threat Level Almost Midnight.”

Nassib’s return would be a big boost for the Buccaneers. Brees was sacked six times last week again the Atlanta Falcons, so this Bucs defense smells blood in the water.
