Stats Surge For Gerald McCoy
November 21st, 2017
Man, Joe is loving watching Gerald McCoy against the Dolphins over and over. The man was an animal — and he dealt with a nasty first-half eye gouge.
McCoy also is racking up a special season.
Yes, the Bucs are 4-6 and that’s bad. Nothing special about that, even if they are on an encouraging two-game winning streak.
But McCoy is approaching rare numbers for himself.
McCoy has 25 solo tackles with six games remaining this season. He’s only had 30 in a season once in his career, 35 in 2013. McCoy’s 10 assists this season also represents the first time he’s cracked double digits in that category since 2013.
It’s great to see McCoy grinding along. He’s in his prime at 29 and continues to fight through injuries, including the kind you have after you’ve played 104 games in the trenches like he has.
Perhaps next year is the season the Bucs find him a special edge rusher to team with. The last good one he had now has 37 1/2 sacks, two Pro Bowl trips and a Super Bowl ring with the Seahawks.

Tmax in 3..2…1…
November 21st, 2017 at 3:28 pm
Don’t forget ATrain! He loves him some GMC!
November 21st, 2017 at 3:29 pm
It’s about time!
November 21st, 2017 at 3:30 pm
Oh, and DB55!!!! Sorry DB, I almost forgot about you!
November 21st, 2017 at 3:31 pm
Inexcusable
November 21st, 2017 at 3:33 pm
McCoy is a HOF’r.
November 21st, 2017 at 3:38 pm
^^^???!!!
November 21st, 2017 at 3:39 pm
You’ll have to elaborate on that ’78! I’d say that’s a bit of a stretch.
November 21st, 2017 at 3:40 pm
Gmc is garbage. When u call POTUS a “coward” ……… for leading a country but gmc cant even lead a tampa defense??? Gmc is weird
November 21st, 2017 at 3:42 pm
Lamarcus- Did I miss something or have you taken this convo sideways?!
November 21st, 2017 at 3:44 pm
The only defensive players who should get SOME kinda kudos:
Lvd
Grimes?
J evans
Beckwith.
McDonald
The man covering Vh3
and that is it. Not a 1 game stud against the quitting dolphins
November 21st, 2017 at 3:45 pm
His work is not complete. It was hard to shine this year when your old starting QB was none as a three and out/ turn-over machine. Puts too much stress on the D
November 21st, 2017 at 3:47 pm
Joe Bucs Fan has changed its name to
McCoy Biggest Fan
Y’all slam me and TMAX for calling him out
GMC played a great Second Half
Now can you GMC loves look at the things he is NoT doing and call him out
Joe hasn’t written one bad article on GMC
He has on every other player. Why? Simple. McCoy is a good football player. –Joe
November 21st, 2017 at 3:48 pm
McDonald? For what? Being average?
Agreed on the rest though. LVD is killing it since returning!
November 21st, 2017 at 3:48 pm
Is gmc even the best 3tech in the division? I guess it depends on which stat you use.
November 21st, 2017 at 3:53 pm
ATrain- It’s not personal. I like the banter. I’ll go so far as to offer how ridiculous GMC looked on that 69 yard running play where he was “escorted” stage left by the Miami o-line.
November 21st, 2017 at 3:54 pm
this would be the perfect time to trade him imo…..
not because I don’t like him, but because I think he holds more value to us in form of draft picks….we could find a trade partner and get a couple picks to fill some of the holes….
trade 1 DT and draft a DE and a tackle…..or 2 DE’s….or a DE and DT….I mean damn try something….I rather get rid of a player a year or 2 too early than a year or 2 too late…..GO BUCS!!!!
November 21st, 2017 at 4:08 pm
where he was “escorted” stage left by the Miami o-line.
————-
This happens on 95% of his plays. #icecream
He held his gap on 2 plays Sunday to my shock and dismay and we held them from getting a first down on both plays. What a concept.
November 21st, 2017 at 4:24 pm
2 plays only DB? Really?
I want some of whatever you and Lamarcus are smoking… and I say that living out here with that Cali fire

Haha nice. Love me some GSC
Sour D for me this week.
November 21st, 2017 at 4:30 pm
SO youre saying we can get good trade value out of him again? Excellent
November 21st, 2017 at 4:31 pm
Watching McCoy dominate in the trenches, has been the vest part of this season.
He has distanced himself from every other DT in The NFL, proving once again that he is the best DT on the planet.
Soon the coaches and players will select him to yet another Probowl. The accolades he has accumulated will certainly guarantee his bust wlii be immortalized in Canton.
McCoys legend and likeness will live on, long after Tmaxipad and db(IQ)55’s Burger King aprons have turned to dust.
Normally, I would say that our coach and GM have done a decent job.
Especially Jason L.
But their inability to get a DE should get them both Fired, just as soon as the season ends. It is just inexcusable
In an unrelated topic- has anyone noticed that Antony Auclair was on the field alot Sunday. So far, he has been doing Luke Stockers job.
Soon, I think he will start to be a factor in the passing game. This guy will be a very good TE
Will Clarke has been making the most of his time. He is improving at Pass rushing. He is keeping Will Gholstein in the bench during passing downs
November 21st, 2017 at 4:46 pm
Glad he showed up last week..
November 21st, 2017 at 4:49 pm
Lamarcus
No love for Kwon? Int and 8 tackles.
November 21st, 2017 at 4:51 pm
Capt Tim smokes white crystal like rock formations with a toothless 68 yr old man on a boat while drinking his own your-in out a natty ice can.
November 21st, 2017 at 4:55 pm
GMC = LEGEND!
November 21st, 2017 at 5:09 pm
Db55.
Kwon has a good game but not season. I love consistent and ba Lance performance. Not 1 game while we had to kick a fg to a quitting team.
November 21st, 2017 at 5:48 pm
I noticed Auclair too Capt. Still wish we had a real-deal FB though.
Hey DB, at least he makes it to the other side of the LOS. Ayers is too busy getting blown the F up by TEs all the time.
November 21st, 2017 at 6:05 pm
McCoy king of the stat sheet!
November 21st, 2017 at 6:11 pm
He is pretty good. He is no Adrian Clayborn though.
November 21st, 2017 at 6:14 pm
First time in his whole career!! Wippy do
November 21st, 2017 at 6:16 pm
Ayers is too busy getting blown the F up by TEs all edible hathe time.
——————-
YEA! WELL AT LEAST WHEN HE GETS BLOWN UP GET GETS BLOWN UP 110%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Lmao
Yo do you remember when gmc tried to play fb in the ps and got ROCKED by a safety or lb? That chit was hilarious. Needless to say he hasn’t asked to play offense anymore. 😭😂
“I do not like getting hit, it hurts, I’d rather be an actor” – the unincredible holk
November 21st, 2017 at 6:44 pm
Gerald is a beast !
November 21st, 2017 at 7:00 pm
McCoy looked like he was done in the first 7 or so games. Great turnaround…….The sad thing is when you look at the plays when Gerald got blocked out and there was a whole lot of nuthin in the pass rush dept………One man shows don’t work very often.
Gerald will get game planned and nullified at some point again and our passrush will be exposed again……….Then the Haters will have their scapegoat for the looming loss.
November 21st, 2017 at 7:04 pm
This is a cross-post, but GMC has the highest number of sacks among all DTs since 2013.
November 21st, 2017 at 7:45 pm
Easy to defend
When gmc burst oline man will move to his side and wipe/clean him out for big gains and big holes. Easy gameplan for gmc. He is not even “doubled” as much. Signs of the times man
November 21st, 2017 at 7:56 pm
GMC…GMC…GMC…TAKE A KNEE HATERS….THE BIG RAT IS NIW RUNING THE SWAMP..AND THE PEDOPHILES ARE COMING TO TOWN…IT MUST BE CHRISTMAS SEASON!!!
November 21st, 2017 at 8:13 pm
We can’t find a de? That is bs. That’s our problem 5 years now? Rightttttt….. I think no special de wants to play here. That’s more believable. 2 gm in 5 years and NOT 1? Just 1? But we throw cash trunks at djx, ward, baker, ayes, grimes etc. But no sack master. Hmm mm
Come on man. No one wants to play next to gmc? That should be a de dream or nah? Gmc ran Aaron donald out of town before he was drafted says alot. I’m taking the high road. Gmc does no recruiting. He wants ALL the sacks to himself and last week proved it. Makes him look good not the bucs.
November 21st, 2017 at 10:39 pm
I was a GMC fan but he’s too nice and gets blown up too often. I’m in the trade him camp if you get good value. I hear you that his tackles are up but isn’t that what he gets paid to do, and paid more than his return on investment. I’m happy they beat two garbage teams. Sadly with 6 games to go, 5 are almost certain losses. They will finish 5-11 and that is pretty sad.
November 22nd, 2017 at 4:33 am
Teacherman loves GMC!
He is a man of love, light, and laughter!
He is a saint!
F- Suh! He is garbage next to GMC!
We (the true fans) love you bro!!!
November 22nd, 2017 at 7:17 am
McCoy is the poster boy for the phrase “stats are for losers!”
November 22nd, 2017 at 7:24 am
Go back and look at the 97,98,99 interior line stats. Culpepper and Sapp were getting like 60 total tackles and averaging 8-10 sacks. That’s 2 players essentially mirroring GMC’s stats.
November 22nd, 2017 at 1:26 pm
Hey db(IQ) 55,
Dont make fun of my guided boat cruises.
You and you Burger King Co-workers have been paying $25 a piece for that tour all season!
November 22nd, 2017 at 6:01 pm
McCoy is arguably, next to Aaron Donald, the best DT in the game and has been for yrs. Those that disagree really don’t know much about x’s and o’s. You guys compare him to Sapp and none compares to Sapp.
November 23rd, 2017 at 10:17 am
^ Whoa, Aaron Donald? Come on man….
