Here’s what Matt Ryan had to say about the Buccaneers:

On Tampa Bay's secondary. "They look good to me. Their front four is very talented. Gerald McCoy is one of the better three-tecniques, as far as interior tackles he's about as good as it gets. His get-off is excellent. He's good against both the run and the pass."

On Tampa Bay's linebackers: "I think both Lavonte David and Kwon Alexander are two guys that are extremely athletic and very good at coming downhill against the run. But they can also cover in the pass game extremely well, too."

On the secondary. "We know Brent and he's down there still playing at a high level. They've got talented guys. It's always tough in the division. They know us and we know them. It's going to come down to executing and playing very well."
