Beckles Wants GMC To Hate

July 4th, 2018

Former Bucs G Ian Beckles.

What would a holiday be without some wisdom from Ian Beckles?

Now just about every Bucs fan except folks who have their heads deeply buried in the sand at Treasure Island knows that popular Tampa Bay radio personality and former Bucs guard Ian Beckles has long used stud defensive tackle Gerald McCoy as some form of a verbal tackling dummy.

Beckles damn near made a career of tearing apart GMC’s game and stomping his feet that GMC was horribly overrated and damn near a liability to the Bucs winning football games.

Recently, Beckles watched a rebroadcast of an interview GMC had on NFL Network and Beckles both disliked and liked what GMC said.

“He was out there talking about how he loves his new defensive line coach Brentson Bucker,” Beckles said on his podcast, “In the Trenches.” “Well, I don’t want him to love anybody. I want [GMC] to play for him. Forget about loving him.

“From what I see, Brentson Buckner is that guy where it is my way or the highway and I don’t give a rat’s @ss what your name is and what your accolades are, or I don’t care if you went to the Pro Bowl last year.

“If you don’t do it his way, he’s going to jump on your @ss. That’s what I see right off the bat. I think that’s what Gerald needs, I really do. I have not seen that guy here yet. I have not. I think Brentson Buckner is that guy. Let’s hope he is that guy.”

Beckles compared Buckner two to legendary NFL assistants, former offensive line coach Alex Gibbs and defensive line coach Rod Marinelli.

So what did Beckles like that GMC said? GMC admitted last year’s effort and results were not good enough. Beckles said it was clear something was wrong on the defensive line. He personally thought the schemes used by the defensive line stunk and Beckles said the proof to his eyeballing was that the Bucs only had 22 sacks.

“I am actually looking forward to watching a Bucs defense that actually rushes the passer.”

Beckles encourages feedback on his podcast and welcomes e-mails at IanBeckles@radioinfluence.com

    A pair of Semi-automatic weapons, talking about having to hate and the forth of July…welcome to 21st century America.

  3. Hawaiian Buc Says:

    Beckles is an irrelevant clown. Very few people even remember when he played, and those of us who do would like to forget it. The only way he knows how to get attention is to bring up McCoy (who he’s never even met). I mean, seriously, just look at the pictures of this clown! How anyone could take this moron seriously is beyond me.

  4. Reality-is-a-Beotch Says:

    It would best for team if gmc just went away. Can’t grow as a team with such a soft career loser wearing the C. His legacy is set in stone as The undisputed face of the basement years. Hopefully he’ll be on IR by week 4 with one of his soft injuries. I also hope that the next time the cryin clown is weeping on sideline its his last day in a buc uniform. Take out the trash licht on your way out the door.

  5. Knoxville Buc Fan Says:

    No one would ever know what Mr. Irrelevant’s thoughts were unless they read them right here on joebucsfan.com. Popular radio host? That would be a great poll the next time you’re looking for one to post

  6. Darin Says:

    I used to like listening to Beckles. Him and Diaz were good together. No idea why he is so in on this gmc thing. It’s to the point now I dont like listening to the guy. And I was a season ticket holder back when he played as well. Gmc would bury him daily if they played against each other in their days. Get over it Beckles. As many problems as this team has and he keeps beating this thing up. I think the main problem is the coaching staff, but I’d still get tired of hearing it if he beat them up so much. Move on Beck.

  7. Buc believer Says:

    GMC has LOVED the past 10 days or so because the microscope has been off him and his piss poor play and his love of loosing and it has been on Jameis. Party is over now Mcfake. We will not forget how much you suck!

  8. Sc Bucs fan Says:

    Ian Beckles is TMax

    Even if you don’t like GMC – Wishing injury on a player just goes to show what a sick pup you really are.

  11. First Down Tampa Bay Says:

    Now back to our regularly scheduled GMC-Hate.

  12. Mike Johnson Says:

    Again..like I’ve repeated a zillion times, Beckles was no great player. Matter of fact, he was probably half the player GMC is now. So I take what he says and put it in the sand along with a lot of so called sports commentators. I can remember Beckles getting..beat down consistently when he played with the Bucs. But..he probably cannot..Recall. Stick to what you do best Mr. Beckles, Takin photos with any woman you can find and talkin sh.. on whatever program they will alow you to!

  13. K_Bassuka Says:

    Beckles probably drunk and talking out of his @ss 99% of the time.

  14. Skipper Says:

    Let’s see an average guard at best critical of a multiple pro bowler.

  15. Hawaiian Buc Says:

    @Buc Believer,

    If GMC sucks, then what are you? Your life is so pathetic that you spend time out of your day to write about a guy who is way more successful than you will ever dream of being. Funny thing is, I guarantee you with everything that I own that you wouldn’t say any of this to his face. You’re a coward, just like all the other bed-wetting, no woman having, mother’s basement living trolls who hate on a guy they wish they could be.

  16. Capt.Tim Says:

    Fk Ian Beckles
    He’s just desperate for listeners and attention

    McCoy is a one heck of a warrior
    Hes had so many different defenive line coaches and schemes.
    So many different Defensive coordinators and head coaches

    He has battled alone, along side the most pathetic defensive ends and tackles in the league. Guys that were totally useless.

    He has been double teamed his entire career
    And often, Triple teamed.
    The coaches/GM have been to stupid to get him any helplgg
    He has to endure attention seeking idiots attacking him-

  17. Capt.Tim Says:

    -like Beckles
    Yet he has soldiered on, thru all that massive stupidity.

    And he has stayed true to this POS team,
    And to the community.
    The guy is a WARRIOR

    He deserves better than the team

  18. Bucsfanman Says:

    Get ready to eat some crow RiaB! Just like my Memphis rub ribs, it’s going to be tasty!!! 🍴🍴 two sets. One for you and one for DB55!!

  19. RODNEY Says:

    Capt. Tim I agree GMC is one of the few great players on our team. Could he be a bit meaner sure but that’s not him. He’s never had a dline worthy of anything. Unfortunately we have some fans that always need to hate n biotch about everything and it doesn’t help that we’ve sucked n been disappointed for the past decade+. Hopefully we do decent with fitz first three games cuz our dline n oline finally stops being a joke n Winston lights up the scoreboard when he returns and never ever does anything stupid off the field again. GO BUCS!!!

  20. Lunchbox Says:

    Regarding Beckles’ take on coach Buckner, to quote Gunnery Seargent Hartman said, “Because I am hard, you will not like me; but the more you hate me, the more you will learn!”

  21. Buc believer Says:

    @Hawaiin… as scheduled here is the “you would t say that to GMC face” so predictable. I would LOVE to say it to his face and I would but he hides behind the gate at one Buc, as you know. Same old song and dance there Hawaiian get your head out of Gerald’s arse.

  22. Anonymous Says:

    Joe’s its actually pretty funny how you guys post his comments yet don’t sit and have a conversation with the man. I urge either one of you. Instead of posting his comments here and encouraging fans to blow up his email with hate mail.

    Try watching film with him. Sit and watch film and listen. He played the position that defends McCoy for a long time. Sit and let him i explain why he feels the way he does. Instead of riling up buc loyalists to contact him.

    Be men and do it yourself. Watch film let the former guard show you his point of view. From “in the trenches”. I hope this doesnt get me banned. I love jbf. But beckles makes a lot of sense.

    I challenge you. Watch tape with him!!!!

  23. Bobby Says:

    Yeah…..sure your say it to his face. What a beotch. GMC
    would pull your panties over your head and spank you.

  25. Buc believer Says:

    He’s the P.. Wussy hiding behind the one Buc gates. Believe me I’m not saying I could take him but if he hits me I would hire the lawyers that Winston’s acusser hired and I would own his life.

  26. D1 Says:

    But be,

    If He hits me…….I would own his life.

    That’s the manly way.

    GMC hides behind a fence. You behind your lawyers skirt. Sorry but I think the fence is for your safely. It’s like the ditch you see where Gorillas are kept (Busch gardens).
    If a person found themselves inside the space with the gorillas……park officials would not worry about saving it from you

  27. BringBucsBack Says:

    If Ian is only speaking about McCoy just to hate then, that is never a good look. However, I believe that he can’t contain himself because it is an area where he has a lot of experience and may consider himself an expert. Think about your own profession.

    If someone in your profession, or a similar one received a lot of accolades that you believe they don’t deserve, you may very well make your opinion known if you are given a platform. Ian has such a platform. For instance, I have been a musician for over 35 years. While I am not a legend, I have enough performance experience that I recognize what good music and musicians sound and look like. I think this is where Ian is coming from.

    Gerald absolutely disappears against average players, often. That should never happen! I do think that Ian wants Gerald to be better and he shares advice through his experiences. Everyone here knows that the Pro Bowl is a popularity contest. For goodness sakes, D. Revis made the Pro bowl while rehabbing with the Bucs?!?!

    For all of the attention that Gerald receives, one might expect that be is more dominant; more “electric”. Someone this great should NEVER disappear on the field! He was the third overall pick, not a forth rounder. Simply put, Aaron Donald is the DT that we thought Gerald would be.

  28. DB55 Says:

    Raheem was the last coach to win 10 games and you guys ran him off.

    Schiano has a top 10 or 5 def but you guys ran him off.

    Jameis is a superstar but you guys wanna run him off.

    They all had a similar attitude, forget the rest we want to win.

    But in every situation you guys love and honor and would never run off a guy that just wants to have fun.

    Why is that?

  29. Joe Says:

    I challenge you. Watch tape with him.

    Joe has actually been a guest in Beckles’ lair.

    Joe has spoken with plenty of NFL folks about GMC, including opposing offensive coordinators.

  30. BigMacAttack Says:

    Ok Boot, you’re cool, but take your booger hooker off the trigger.

  31. Buc believer Says:

    @D1…. you have exposed yourself as the foolish racist that you are with your gorillas in Busch gardens reference. Way to go hater.

  32. Hawaiian Buc Says:

    @Buc Believer,

    You don’t have to wait at One Buc to have a conversation with Gerald. You can meet him outside the player parking lot before or after every game. You can meet him at one of his many events around town that are advertised. Of course, you could have an invite to his house and you would chicken out, because you’re a troll and a coward.

  33. Buc believer Says:

    Been there done that. I don’t think your Hawaiiin at all I think your just a Haole wanna be.

  34. Gruden4President Says:

    I want Beckles to STFU! He was trash he has no room to critique a perennial allpro.

  35. Gruden4President Says:

    Jameis is A SuperStar?!?!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Omg thank you for that laugh @DB55 I needed it.

  36. THETRUTH Says:

    Joe you low on stories that you keep giving this clown Beckles attention on this site? Rather hear stories of former good Bucs and what they are doing and opinion than Mr. I’m right and only I know everything Ian.

  37. D1 Says:

    Buc believer,

    Hiding behind your lawyers skirt and calling me a racist is the same chicken reaction. Hiding behind something or someone.
    I used the Busch gardens reference not because it’s racial, but because I was at Busch gardens Sunday with my family and I saw a pos, probably you, taunting the gorillas from the safety of a ditch and wall. That’s why.

    Now here’s what is the proverbial knockout punch to your weak chit. I have 4 kids. All were right next to me to see this ….and my family is black.
    Yes you’re looking fing stupid and if you ever said to me that my family is , looks like or have the sack to tell me that a reference to a mountain gorilla is offensive because they look like gorillas ………I will not allow you to hide behind anyone or anything. I am free Sunday afternoon, 1 buc at say 3. I will be with the gorillas
    can’t miss it..

  38. Buc believer Says:

    @D1… you didn’t say what you would be wearing so I can know it’s you.. oh wait you will be the one with the halo on as well as the really dumb look on your face. Got it! 😊
