Zyon McCollum “Interception” Was Really A Rueben Bain Sack

July 29th, 2026

Joe is advising fans to wave off reports of a Zyon McCollum interception at Day 1 of minicamp practice today.

Yes, McCollum caught the pass out at the right sideline thrown by Baker Mayfield, but in the real world, rookie Miami Mauler edge rusher Rueben Bain beat Luke Goedeke clean on the play off the left edge. Bain pulled up in front of Mayfield, who saw Bain and threw wide seemingly just for the sake of the arm exercise.

Congrats to McCollum on the good hands, but Joe’s handing the sack to Bain. Play dead.

Heck, an interception usually fires up the crowd at One Buc Palace, but the response to McCollum’s catch was subued. It was as if most fans saw the Bain rush and realized what happened next was just a no-pads-no-hitting practice kind of moment.

For those wondering, yes, Bain “looked good” today.

    Didn’t get sacked, had time to just throw the ball because of it, and still throw it to a defender lol

    nice.

    I don’t think most fans have any faith in McColumn. I know I don’t. He was awful last year. He is not a starting cb in my opinion

    Someone’s in mid season form today. Short passes and taking sacks. The backup threw a 40+ yd TD, did Bake even throw a TD?

  4. Fred McNeil Says:

    I have a fair amount of faith in McCollum still. I don’t think he necessarily slacked off because he got his check. I think the check just kind of made him kind of flip our a little bit.

    “Our corners get no help because we have no pass rush”

    A pass rush leads to an interception…..

    “That didn’t count!”

    A whole article to explain why it was worthless, but indirectly making the QB look bad for still throwing an INT on a rep where coaches likely said “let him rep it”

    Boweles was a CB, it amazes me how he can’t seem to keep a good veteran CB nor can he instantly pick up a guy who can perform. Why didn’t they address this after the draft, picking up someone who’s proven.

    Morrison was a wasted pick!

  11. MadMax Says:

    Thats what happens when you allow pass rushers to “PASS RUSH”….Illogical, I know, in a Todd D scheme

  12. MadMax Says:

    BTW, great job Bain…..keep it uP!!!!

  13. Dtownva Says:

    By the time Bain’s career is done, scouts will looking for tackles with longer arms.

  14. BuccoMarty Says:

    So what Joe is saying is that Bain got close to the QB? X-D

  15. Drunk Bucs Fan Says:

    Just wait until the fake bullets start flying in preseason games that mean nothing.

  16. Ash Says:

    Damn I’m so excited to have bain go bucs

    Comedy Hour

  18. ModHairKen Says:

    Damn it, Joe! Now that you’ve taken away his pick, Zyon is bored again.

  19. SlyPirate Says:

    Bain beat Luke for a sack?
    Bain beat Luke for a sack!

    Woah!

    Luke has given up 3 Sacks in the last two seasons.

  20. Kenton Smith Says:

    I like Bain. I think. I like Luke. I know.

    Hope when the shoulder pads come on next week that Luke will do the gentlemanly thing and bruise the rookies ribs. Just saying.

    Let the game begin!
