“Big Strides” For Joe Tryon-Shoyinka
August 12th, 2023
It’s been a strong spring and summer for third-year edge rusher Joe Tryon-Shoyinka.
That was the message from the Bucs’ general manager last night.
Jason Licht hopped on the Buccaneers Radio Network and spread the good cheer. He said Tryon-Shoyinka “made big strides” this offseason.
That’s probably a big reason the 24-year-old starting outside linebacker opposite Bucs sacks king Shaq Barrett got the night off yesterday.
He was one of 10 big names on the Tampa Bay defense to be rested against the Steelers. Licht said that decision was not about injury in nearly every case, just more time for young players to be showcased.
Tryon-Shoyinka has 37 games under his belt and has no remaining excuses. The Bucs need him to improve and look like a dangerous pass rusher this season. So Joe was glad to hear Licht put his foot down on JTS improving this offseason.
Still, Joe tries to remember JTS is a young player, only one month older than rookie outside linebacker YaYa Diaby. There’s no shame in having a learning curve, but the time is now for Tryon-Shoyinka or he’ll quickly turn into a core special teams player and situational pass rusher.

If lastnight showcased anything i believe it showed outside of some really good starters we have no depth lol please go sign some vets! Really excited to see zyon get more playing time
August 12th, 2023 at 4:23 pm
A lot of talk. But no action.
August 12th, 2023 at 4:27 pm
Can you find a photo of JTS that makes him look tough instead of being a replacement for Kid n Play? š

Yeah, the dude needs it, can’t tackle for spit!
August 12th, 2023 at 4:28 pm
He is our best outside pass rusherā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦.
Apparently the cuts are going to be hard?
I donāt get it
August 12th, 2023 at 4:45 pm
He sat out for COVID. Big red flag for mental state and toughness.
August 12th, 2023 at 4:48 pm
Ya Ya will surpass JTS by the end of the season.
August 12th, 2023 at 4:50 pm
I could be wrong but wasn’t he drafted for his “raw” talent?
I think he deserved a couple years to acclimate.
August 12th, 2023 at 5:10 pm
Yes to Yaya the sooner the better.
August 12th, 2023 at 5:17 pm
Tryon and Hall need to tighten up
August 12th, 2023 at 5:18 pm
I’ll believe it only when I see it on the football field.
August 12th, 2023 at 5:20 pm
ROFL send Plan 9 back to orbit. Ya Ya is far betta, Plan 9 does not have ‘The Right Stuff’.
August 12th, 2023 at 5:36 pm
Time to sign some bets. Unless we’re tanking. Caleb

Scale of 1 to 10 wanting to play all out
110 percent effort run through a wall football.
Effort and Heart Trump slightly better talent
Over tens or hundreds of plays every time .
As a Famous Philosopher one said IT what It IS
JTS – 4or 5
Hall- 6 or 7
Ya Ya – 8 or 9
August 12th, 2023 at 5:45 pm
If JTS don’t pan out Diaby will take up the slack. He had some nice pressures last night.
August 12th, 2023 at 5:51 pm
Serving up YAYAās flame broiled chicken. JTS is history.
August 12th, 2023 at 5:53 pm
I saw Hall get good penetration on one pass rush. I wasn’t in the mood to rewatch the game today. Maybe tomorrow. We’re definitely gonna get better pressure off the edges this year.
August 12th, 2023 at 5:54 pm
JTS is gonna be fine.
August 12th, 2023 at 5:56 pm
JTS needs reps. NO excuse not to have him out there with Hall.

He needs to make big strides given that he’s coming from a virtual negative, and still has more to prove above that. Time to stop getting driven out of plays.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:09 pm
#1 – That is the weirdest pic of JTS I have ever seen.
#2 – If JTS stays healthy he will have 8+ sacks this season.
#3 – I’m so happy football is finally here.
#4 – Go Bucs!!!!

Dre Bucsfan! .. ‘If last night showcased anything i believe it showed outside of some really good starters we have no depth lol please go sign some vets!’
Kinda came away with the same impression Dre, although several ‘depth’ players did stand out somewhat (Diaby, Gill, Palmer, Thompkins, Moore, Geiger, Edmonds). Not that any of them are ready to be starters though.
I think the reality of this season will be that we’ll carry a LOT of inexpensive young guys because we can’t afford any more expensive vets. Right now we’ve got $1.4 mil in CAP space to play with, and you can’t buy many groceries with that today.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:13 pm
O-lineman and QBās must be quaking in their cleats at the sight of this fella running around/past them.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:14 pm
We keep talking about how JTS needs to add weight and strength, yet it looks like heās taking estrogen. He looks younger and more feminine in every picture that comes out.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:19 pm
Keep doing what youāve been doing JTS, youāre one of the key pieces of making sure we get a new coach and first round low pick QB next year!
August 12th, 2023 at 6:32 pm
@TonySoprano
Totally agree. He looks super feminine kind of concerning.
August 12th, 2023 at 6:33 pm
TonySoprano, estrogen!!!!!! Lol x6
August 12th, 2023 at 6:35 pm
JTS what TonySoprano is trying to say is… Time to Man Up!!!
August 12th, 2023 at 6:45 pm
I don’t believe none of this….. We don’t know how to Rush the QB… It seems whoever we play against is always better at rushing the QB then us guess they are coached better…can we just over pay in hire somebody with history… because bowls has a loosing history anyway…so what do we supposed to expect….GO BUCS
August 12th, 2023 at 6:55 pm
That is one strange photo. I been telling ya. Plan 9 is from outer space.
August 12th, 2023 at 7:21 pm
If this isnāt a reason to start drinking at 7am nothing is.
August 12th, 2023 at 8:18 pm
They should’ve signed Justin Houston to a one year deal to whatever they could’ve & put him with Shaq & Kancey but instead now they have to deal with him in the division. Makes sense. Put him with Burns. Let’s see how Luke Godonkey does with them.
August 12th, 2023 at 8:24 pm
Do you think cowboy fans are dumb enough to question Micah Parsons’s mental toughness because he opted out or 2020 abbreviated season? How about Bengal fans with Jāmarr Chase?
August 12th, 2023 at 8:34 pm
Ya thatās what you want to do. Hold out a dude who has proven to suck on the field because you donāt want to see him suck on the field.
Bowles is one genius of a coach. We are some lucky fans.
August 12th, 2023 at 8:44 pm
Actually when he puts his makeup on, JTS is a hot babe.

Stop complaining Bucs fans we have 2 Lombardis. 2 more than the Dixie Chicks and Carolina Kitties Nd one more than the Aints!
August 12th, 2023 at 8:48 pm
True that, Irish. Iāll have a Harp to celebrate.

Bucs Fans, You want to put your hard earned CASH š°š°š° āBling, Bling š¤ā ON TODD BOWLES , WITH ONLY ONE WINNING SEASON (2015) AS A NFL HEAD COACH with a career record of 34 and 51āļøNot me. Folks, I will be in Las Vegas August 24-27 and I will have no problem to bet the BUCS UNDER 6.5 (-122 @CircaSports) to win $2,000 (2,440 to win $2,000). Even Joe Bucs Fanās own Ira Kaufman, a man who covered the Buccaneers for UPI in 1985 been reading the tea leaves, and can tell you about some bad Bucs outfits, including the Leeman Bennett coached 1985-86 teams that went 4-28. Itās āTanking for Calebā NOW āļøDave Corcoran, 2018 Westgate Super Contest Winter Park, Florida.
August 12th, 2023 at 9:41 pm
Todd has yet to show me he wants to win. Now he is letting our starters rust..err..rest he says.
August 12th, 2023 at 10:03 pm
Some coaches, they make moves and you go, āhuh?ā But then they work out.
Other coaches make moves and you go, āWTF?ā And then it goes even worse than everyone thought.
Todd Bowles strikes me as being in the second category.
August 12th, 2023 at 10:57 pm
Yeah, JTS is improving. Blah blah blah
Well, Thats Jasonās lil secret, because he still looks like a bust to us.
Weāll believe it when we see it.
So far- nothing but words
August 12th, 2023 at 11:25 pm
Hahahaha. Talk is cheap let’s see some results. Guy wreeks of bust so everyone wants to be proved otherwise
August 13th, 2023 at 1:28 am
LOL JTS is a zombie controlled by aliens!
Plan 9 From Outer Space
August 13th, 2023 at 2:03 am
Maybe the whole team is zombies and the Glazers are aliens?
Just sayin…that would explain a lot

August 13th, 2023 at 3:03 am
yeah not sure what was up with the hair style, it is not working. He does not get a pass, he needs to prove himself on the field. He is so a far a bust, reminds me of Noah Spence.
August 13th, 2023 at 6:17 am
Heās not done a thing so any accolades are unwarranted. Heās the preen king. Canāt get a sack as he takes himself out of the play most every time. Heās a left tackleās freak rusher.
August 13th, 2023 at 7:21 am
I think Licht has been a pretty straight shooter. So I will give him the benefit of the doubt on JTS. But I have not heard his name much in camp.
Go Bucs!

TonySaprano – JTS on estrogen – laugh out loud funny! And true!
August 13th, 2023 at 10:05 am
Perhaps Licht’s worst draft mistake ever. A #1 draft pick??? A puss who sat out a year with fear of covid? Odds for him to have a big turn around year are close to zero. Two full seasons as a full time player with no sign of improvement? Time to bite the bullet.
August 13th, 2023 at 11:08 am
If JTS was held out because he is part of the “proven” players, I have missed a lot of games played. Maybe I should request a refund from DTV since they didn’t show me the games where JTS has shined. I have seen zero games where JTS has shown anything other than a big, fat bust.
Maybe they should hold him out permanently.
August 13th, 2023 at 12:44 pm
Like many before him,
The front office will tell us how great JTS is.
Right up until they cut him
