“Hungry” Offensive Line Found 2024 Vibe

The pride of Buccaneers Ring of Honor general manager Jason Licht, the Bucs’ offensive line, had itself an eye-popping day Sunday in Buffalo.
Sitting at his postgame locker in the not-too-sad Bucs locker room, center Graham Barton reflected on the line’s performance.
The Bucs ran 39 times for 202 yards and 3 touchdowns. Take away Sean Tucker’s 43-yard TD run, and the Bucs still ran for an average of more than 4 yards per carry. And that includes Teddy Bridgewater’s end-of-game kneeldown for a loss. That’s dominance on the ground.
Baker Mayfield was only hit three times as a passer. Bills edge rusher Joey Bosa was neutered for the afternoon.
Despite two backup guards starting, Michael Jordan and Dan Feeney, dudes unemployed in July, the Bucs’ offensive line had a banner day.
“I thought we came out hungry, like I thought we were physical. We did some good things.” Barton said. “That’s what we did to teams a lot last year and we’re trying to get back to that.
“But again, not enough, early in the game in the red zone on that turnover inside the 10 yard line, we got to score there. Obviously a lot of good things [in Buffalo] but not enough.”
Joe talked to someone in the Bucs’ locker room off the record about the resurgence of the offense in Buffalo. The message was clear: don’t underestimate the return of Luke Goedeke after shaking off rust against the Patriots.
