Underrated, explains one Buccaneer.

It’s common to call Matt Ryan a statue of a quarterback.

Baloney, says the most successful Bucs defensive end since Michael Bennett was allowed to leave town for no good reason.

Of course, Joe is referring to Jacquies Smith, 13 1/2 sacks in 27 games since joining Tampa Bay in September 2014.

Smith is one of those guys who finds a way to make plays, and he’s spent a couple of season studying and hunting Ryan

JoeBucsFan.com: From a pass-rusher standpoint, what makes Matt Ryan a tough quarterback?

Jacquies Smith: I think he has great pocket presence, man, the way he moves around in that pocket. I think he doesn’t get the due he’s do, as far as throwing on the run and stuff. Man, they boot him out a lot. They play-action him a lot. They move the pocket for him a lot. He does a great job of just changing the launch point, and him being able to be pretty accurate while doing it. He’s a great quarterback.

Good stuff there from Smith.

Joe doesn’t discount Ryan. He’s carved up the Bucs far too many times and ways.
