Ryan, the genius, is still having a hard time learning it so you can imagine how hard it’s been for the other guys. In an earlier interview, Ryan commented on how complex and layered Bowles’ scheme is. This is the diciest preseason in recent memory, with no part of the roster looking very secure. It’s possible that he has not turned it completely on in these practices, scrimmages and preseason games. I think that the addition of Ryan was a great one for a lot of reasons, but it is a concern that he’s been less than perfect so far. Just try not to get stuck on the Shaq stick either. Well at least when you make a mistake you fix it. Was hoping we’d pick him up as a free agent several years ago. Logan could be in the Hall someday but I don’t think he’s there yet. Knew it was just a matter of time before Joe tripped on that stick. Why is Logan Hall in the Headline but Logan Ryan in the Pic?

I don’t get it he is smart, savvy and experienced and yet every time you read about his play he gets burnt often. Joe, I believe you meant Logan “Ryan” in the Title of this Article. Carlton Davis was the old man of the secondary before Ryan signed and Davis just signed his second contract.Ī guy who has the smarts and the savvy and the experience of Ryan could prove to be invaluable.ġ6 Responses to “Lavonte David: Bucs Needed A Guy Like Logan Ryan” The Bucs’ secondary, though very good and very talented, is also still rather young. Joe has a hunch that the signing of Ryan might turn out to be one of the biggest moves the Bucs made this past offseason. He helps me out a lot when we are on the field together.” Mike Edwards told Joe after practice that Ryan brings a lot of leadership. Guys like myself, I don’t want to be the oldest one in the back end anymore.”Īnd even a guy like David, who might be in the Hall of Fame someday, welcomes Ryan. “The way he communicates, the way he talks, the way he tries to be involved in everything, it’s a real great feel,” Bucs stud linebacker Lavonte David said yesterday. The veteran defensive back is big on using his head and making sure everyone knows what’s going on with each play. To him, that was a sign of good communication.Īnd this may be happening because of a savvy addition to the Bucs defense. When defensive tackle Akiem Hicks first showed up this spring, he said what impressed him about the Bucs defense is he heard a lot of talking.

To simplify this, communication is guys making sure everyone is on the same page when it comes to assignments and responsibilities. It was also too bad he handed the assignment of calling plays in the huddle to someone his teammates couldn’t understand. You always hear defensive coaches talk about communication.įormer disastrous Bucs defensive coordinator Mike Smith talked a lot about this.
