Rueben Bain Wants To Create New Level Of Football

The Miami Mauler edge rusher, Bucs rookie Rueben Bain, has an approach different from many others. His stunning post-practice work ethic was on display all summer, but his mind works a little differently, too. Joe already shared how Bain has no statistical goals. Bain also expects to deliver a different level of play, apparently one unknown to mankind. Speaking on Green Light with Chris Long (Joe listened on SiriusXM), Bain said he is searching for and striving for an unknown ceiling. Asked if he has to feel like he proves himself daily, Bain ran with it. 'Each and every day, because it's like my high school coach, he always used to be like, 'It's what have you done for me lately?' Bain said. 'So whatever [a player] did yesterday, [it] don't matter. Whatever he did last period, don't matter. Last play, don't matter. He just gotta be focused on the now and make sure you're getting the job done.' Just proving it to myself, you know, understanding that I'm at this high, high level of football, but I want to create different levels of football.' The Bain era begins in six short days.
