Jason Licht: Rueben Bain Is A “Serious” Man
May 13th, 2026
Serious.
To this day, if Joe retweets or reposts on TikTok the video of Jets fans melting down after their team passed on Warren Sapp in the 1995 draft, the hilarious feedback is almost instantaneous.
Hopefully, 20 years from now, Bucs fans will have the same reaction to the Rueben Bain selection.
You know what Joe is talking about. Bain slipped in the draft until the Bucs got him at No. 15. Bain was steamed and has no time to celebrate.
Instead of jumping up and down, Bain rubbed his palms together. Rather than preen in the stupid NFL two-way mirror with a new cap, Bain just snatched the cap like he was fielding a line drive and stomped out onto the stage to bro hug NFL strongman Roger Goodell.
Appearing last week on “Up and Adams” co-hosted by NFL it-girl Kay Adams, seen weekday mornings on FanDuel TV, Adams told general manager Jason Licht she really has to hunt to find a video of Bain smiling.
Licht said one reason for that is Bain is a very “serious” man.
“You know, he’s an old soul,” Licht said. “He’s all about business. He’s all about football. We had a group of his family — they were awesome, his mom, his aunt, his father, his grandfather [in Licht’s office] — and they were all the same.
“You could see why he is who he is. They were all very excited … and he was staring out my window, looking at the practice field, and doing this [Licht rubs his palms together like Bain did when he was selected in the draft].
“He’s ready to get to work. And I know that he’s excited, along with all of our rookies coming in, to get started. And I know we’re very excited to get to work with him.”
Joe thinks former Titans tackle and popular podcaster Taylor Lewan was right. Seeing how serious of a guy Bain is, Lewan said Bain is going to (eff) some humans up in this league.

I love seeing families stixk together.
Our society has fallen apart in terms of divorces and single moms and empty homes.
I love seeing people like the Bain family that really stick together!
You can see they are truly a family!

Man, the more think about it, the less I see it going well for Bowles… I just keep asking myself WHY? Why isn’t Bowles smart enough? How did he get the job? “EVERYBODY KNOWS” you CAN’T fix stupid… So then why again doesn’t SOMEONE hire a Defensive Coordinator? ESPECIALLY Bowles! Without one, NOTHING CHANGES! Nothing. Can he Really Be THAT dumb? Well………..
Wonder what the over / under is for someone finally “having enough” and using bozo as a tackling dummy. Likely it’ll be Jason Taylor. And the reason? Should be OBVIOUS… Bowles SHOULD NOT BE allowed ANYWHERE NEAR BAIN!
Bowls WILL immediately go to work unwrapping and then warping Bain’s mind. He’s going to try to turn Bain into a farce, and “NOT the force” Jason Taylor molded Bain into. One of Jason Taylor’s “Master Peices” dropped on his head by Bozo.
Yeah Taylor and the Rest of the football world are MORE THAN AWARE that Bozo IS the WORST POSSIBLE coach that Bain could have POSSIBLY ended up with.
AND SO DO ALL OF YOU!
You REALLY THINK Bain and the others don’t or didn’t KNOW the “who’s WHO” of coaches and their reps before the draft? You think that the ENTIRE FOOTBALL WORLD DOESN’T “KNOW” THAT TODD BOWLES LOST THE ENTIRE TEAM? I kinda think they ALL knew and already KNOW what happened just a few months ago….
Yep… I don’t see it going well for Bozo, or BAIN. Unless……………

Obvious
Time for your medicine. You must have skipped a dose

It’s no secret that I think Bowles is a terrible HC if not DC but I actually have some optimism now after this draft. We may have the pieces on defense now to at least compete on a weekly basis. Make no mistake his will absolutely be a NO EXCUSES season for one Todd Bowles. Win or pack your bags.

99….. think you are right about the meds

If Bowles doesn’t win it will be because of a rash of injuries crippling à critical position group again.

Last year our OL injuries and OC ineptitude were the biggest problems Bowles can blame, with good reason, this year is all on him and his defense, Licht restocked all 3 levels of defense so no excuses, need a top 12 defense or time to make a change

Obvious One speaks for Bain , Taylor , “EVERYBODY “ and “ the ENTIRE FOOTBALL WORLD “ . Obviously, Obvious One has an over inflated value of his worth. Meds can’t fix Obvious One’s issues.

Therapy?

Last year it was obvious that 5 of the front 7 had to go. The result? Hall, Gaines, Reddick, LD54, Dennis are either gone or not starting this year. Bowle’s defense ought be vastly improved

Dramatic changes good.. unfortunately the new HC/DC is the same ol HC/DC

this kid will be special!!!
GO BUCS!!!

Floormatt already going to the injury excuse well. Can’t be anything else. The lunch lady has turf toe. Can’t be that the defensive uncoordinator reporting to the headless coich is a train wreck getting smashed by a meteor.

Bain sets the edge in the run game is constantly working on his technique his nose is practically grazing the grass that bend is glorious so hyped for this season. Is Todd right did he just not have the talent of players being all ball all the time and lack of talent and want to I guess we are about to find out go bucs.

Listen, you victim blaming Bowles apologist sure are a righteous bunch. The “Rosie Colored Glasses gang” will Surely look the fools part just like the group last year did. They stood up for Mediocrity and Worse last year AND the year before that! The ones Demanding Better Now… Are last years group. Which Includes ME! So the newest or foolish continued can Pi@@ O@@!
There is one among you that’s just plain Pathetic.. Most of you At Least Try to…. Well maybe not so much. A lot of you are just blindly drinking “hopeium”. At least I can appreciate and respect that.
But then there is the truly SAD. You know what I mean 00 fat fella… I KNOW you know what I mean. You seem to focus on “medication” quite a bit.. I wonder why that is 00? Is it you sexy pills you think about or is it Far Too Late for that!? Did you give up on ever even seeing “IT” again and now you’re just a back biting creep? Let me guess, you’re trying to cut down from all the sexy time. RIGHT! That’s probably IT! Never mind 00 fat fella. I DON’T want to know and neither does anybody else you sad sack! You have away of making people around you feel dirty.
Just so you know, you’re not worth my attention and acknowledging you is over.. You want to attack me personally? Buddy… look in the mirror, pop your pills, and go back to sleep under your rock.
