Arians Won’t Talk GMC, Suh
May 21st, 2019
It is less than 24 hours since the Bucs announced they parted ways with stud defensive tackle Gerald McCoy. But in Bruce Arians’ mind, it is history.
Arians spoke after underwear football practice today and likely well aware he would get questions about GMC. Arians mentioned in his opening remarks that reporters should consult with the statement released by the Bucs yesterday.
“There is no need to ask me a question about [GMC],” Arians said. “Talk to me about the players that are here. I am really happy with the ones that are here.”
Arians was asked about free agent defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh, who was drafted one spot prior to the Bucs drafting GMC in 2010. There was speculation floated on social media last night that the Bucs were interested in Suh.
Arians laughed and said, “I can’t talk about him, he’s not on my team.”
When Arians was reminded that Suh is a free agent and teams are free to speak openly about free agents per NFL rules, Arians took a drink of water and deadpanned, “He’s a helluva player.”

no point in BA wasting his breath on a career loser who never won a single meaningful game in a buc uniform. BA knows his team got much better without captain blowout and it was a move that needed to happen to give this young players a fighting chance.

The wave of momentum of those agreeing with @tmaxcon are now at a crescendo.
May 21st, 2019 at 1:09 pm
Give us all a break T~~~X…….GMC is gone…..a waste of time to discuss….as they say RIP.
If you continue with this all of us who thought you were an a$$hole will know that you’re one.

All rejoice…the cancer is gone! Rojo’s taking off, Vea’s a 3 downer…the glorious news just keeps coming 🙂

TBBF as if there is a doubt he is one. He will move to his next target, guessing Dotson or David.

Release JPP or 7 mil somewhere else to sign all your draft picks, use the 13 mil from Mccoy to trade for Leonard Williams sign him to a three or four year contract give jets 4th rounder and Vernon H. Then dumpster five in September to fill a couple of holes.

Nothing wrong with having some a-holes in the fanbase.
Fanbases need all types of fans. It’s what makes the earth go round.

this a joyous day…. until this team wins on Sundays no one gets a free pass again, I understand it’s hard for low standard bucfan to grasp this concept but winning is all that matters everything is irrelevant subjective nonsense…. it is the first time in a decade that these young guys have hope
May 21st, 2019 at 1:20 pm
There is not a single player on this roster that has won a meaningful game in a Buc uniform.
I have to wonder, which player is going to be the focus of your ire now that 6x Pro Bowl DT Gerald McCoy is gone.
May 21st, 2019 at 1:22 pm
D Rome Vegas has is as David followed by Dotson but the rage about McCoy and Dungy will linger for months. Or until he gets more shifts at Subway.

@onyed Buc
Perfect plan. I hope it goes down that way.
May 21st, 2019 at 1:26 pm
McCoy is the epitome of the Bucs from 2010-2018:
A big colossal disappointment
May 21st, 2019 at 1:27 pm
Man what is t max going to do with his life now the GMC is no longer on the team? I guess he’ll just keep whining about him anyways, lol.
May 21st, 2019 at 1:29 pm
Troll….
I was watching Bucs lose 26 straight when you were many years from being in your mom’s w0mb…..or hatched in some forest.
I want a winning team as much as anyone……but I don’t diarrhea disparaging comments about the players I want to win for me.
Many say….just don’t pay any attention….he will go away….apparently not, but I’ve got a wooden stake for you.

D-Rome
you type pro bowl like it matters…. pro bowl is a joke nothing more… the object of nfl football is to win on sundays and into the post season… one and done in the postseason aka Dungy Ball just means you did not belong in the post season in the first damn place. It’s about winning. with the leader of the losing culture gone it finally gives these young guys a chance. dotson is garbage but irrelevant and lvd had one good season and is not mentally tough enough to lead a locker room so one of these young kids will assume those duties and this team will have a chance. lvd will be nothing more than a role player with a long history of losing. however dotson must go he will kill this team if they have to rely on him. America’s Quaterback needs a new right side of the line!
May 21st, 2019 at 1:30 pm
I agree with tmax about making way for younger talent.

lol another but hurtt loser making assumptions…. i am retired pal was at my first home game in 78… but nice try… now have that nurse check your blood pressure would not want you to blow a gasket!!!!

Why nothing yet on the Bucs signing Tom Moore as an offensive consultant?
Hasn’t this site been banging the drum for a few years for a consultant?
And now we have Tom Moore — the man behind a lot of Manning’s success in Indy.
Quit crying over a non impact player that just got cut. This team is FINALLY making moves to improve.
May 21st, 2019 at 1:34 pm
Patience grasshopper. Joe can only write so many stories in a handful of minutes. Practice barely finished. Some bigger stories much higher up the food chain than hiring a consultant.

i will enjoy watching these young kids finally getting a chance to succeed. will they, who knows, only time will tell but today is the first day this franchise has had hope in a decade! overcoming cancer93 proved to be an impossible task. I do believe led by Americas quarterback jameis winston these young guys maybe able to overcome the glazers… hope is good

“Some bigger stories much higher up the food chain than hiring a consultant.”
Fair enough. But I figured the Bucs finally hiring an outside consultant for the offense would be top news. Hopefully its reported before another report out of Cleveland that their losing franchise is interested in signing a 31 year old non impact DT that just got cut.

Troll…..then you truly are the worlds oldest teenager….
May 21st, 2019 at 1:51 pm
Tmax you should grab a uniform and play a few downs. You could show the Bucs how to deserve being in the playoffs. Or you could run into the field one Sunday. That would be fun to watch.😃
May 21st, 2019 at 2:02 pm
Well I’ve yet to see anyone overcome the incompetence of the Glazers since the kids took over. Not too optimistic it’s gonna happen now with half our sacks from last year out the door and no one brought in to the replace them…
May 21st, 2019 at 2:11 pm
Consultant. Man these guys are squeezing as much Glazer loot out as they can while it lasts.
May 21st, 2019 at 2:23 pm
consultant?…..
well at least BA is being innovative…
GO BUCS!!!!
May 21st, 2019 at 2:31 pm
As far as they Glazers four go, this. None of the offspring individually is the business person that Malcolm was. Collectively they had to get their feet on the ground and stabilize the financial empire that papa bequeathed. This took them several years.
They have begun to put money into this franchise now. See the new practice facility, for one thing. They have through trial and error finally snagged Bucco Bruce.
I am listening to what he says more and more.
___________
Go Bucs!!!
May 21st, 2019 at 2:40 pm
Media members in Tampa don’t listen very well
BA has said to not ask him about players who aren’t here. Is the media in this town that self absorbed they think he will tell them something different?
May 21st, 2019 at 2:41 pm
I know tmaxcon, I’m just riling you up a little. LOL!
I find myself agreeing with you far more often than not on the state of the Bucs but I’m on the opposite side when it comes to GMC. My only criticism of the man is that he wasn’t really a leader. The team isn’t better with McCoy off of it. That being said, the team lost with McCoy. They can and will continue to lose without him.

Suh to the Bucs!
May 21st, 2019 at 3:11 pm
Hey we added an aging journeyman past his prime. Crown us. Pathetic.
May 21st, 2019 at 3:14 pm
Bucs signed Suh…so there ya have it!
May 21st, 2019 at 5:06 pm
I used to dislike tmax posts. now I actually enjoy reading them.
May 21st, 2019 at 5:06 pm
not a fan of Suh either, but we’ll see what happens I guess.
