“Designated Badass”

Friday, April 26th, 2019

BY IRA KAUFMAN

You start with the blazing 4.4 speed. Then you mix in the 28.5 tackles for loss, the 8.5 sacks, the 4 forced fumbles and the 3 interceptions.

Yes, Devin White has all the metrics a linebacker would want heading into an NFL draft. But the Bucs didn’t select White No. 5 overall simply because of his metrics. (more…)

The Real McCoy

Tuesday, April 23rd, 2019

BY IRA KAUFMAN

The record will show that Gerald McCoy played his final game as a Buccaneer on Dec. 30, 2018 in a 34-32 home loss against Atlanta.

It was his 123rd start in pewter and, as usual, Tampa Bay’s defense was subpar, allowing the Falcons to roll up 27 first downs and 489 yards in the season finale. (more…)

Wednesday, April 17th, 2019

BY IRA KAUFMAN

Let’s not get too cute here.
