Bucs GM Jason Licht.

Simple but pointed comment from former Buccaneers defenseman (2022) Logan Ryan today.

Ryan discussed the Bucs-Commanders game on SiriusXM NFL Radio this morning and noted that all of the big free agents Tampa Bay acquired this offseason played well on Sunday.

Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht gave fat contracts to Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans, Chase McLaughlin, Lavonte David and Antoine Winfield, Jr., and Ryan believes their Week 1 success is important.

Perhaps it not only illustrates the smart decisions by Licht and Team Glazer to provide the money, but it also speaks to the team culture and stability that Licht is so passionate about and the difference it can make.

Joe feels like that’s not the case in Atlanta.

Overall, Ryan was impressed with the Bucs’ 37-point output — without the defense forcing a turnover. He believes the Bucs’ biggest question mark is running the ball, “If a team takes away their passing game, can they actually run the ball?”
