New Buc Henry Melton became friends with Gerald McCoy at

the Pro Bowl after '12 season & they talked about playing on

the same line someday.

@ HenMel OU and TX linking up. Hmmm this could get ugly for

somebody!! Let's work baby

Henry Melton had a Pass Rushing Productivity of 8.2. Tampa

Bay is the only 4-3 team that has 2 DTs with a PRP above

7.5(he and McCoy at 9.4)

Pro Football Focus:

"Melton's +15.8 pass rushing grade in the regular season was sixth most among defensive tackles as a sub package player for the Cowboys and if he is to continue that role with the Buccaneers then that would give Tampa Bay an absolutely terrifying sub package pass rush from the inside if they were to pair Melton with Gerald McCoy."

Pro Football Focus has Melton rated as the No. 15 defensive tackle in the league out of 81 qualifying players.

mccoy is this all pro dude.

 

literally never does anything against us..like ever

 

him and lavonte david

 

i know they're consensus elite players and they're undeniably among the best at their positions in the league, but it seems like they're just kind of there every time we play them.  maybe one of them will have a nice pass breakup or a sack or something but that's it.  i can't remember one of them just taking over a game by himself like we've seen luke, thomas davis, or hardy do.

lavonte is a freak and so is mccoy but yea they don't take over games like we are suppose to fear from them.

 

i'm not worried at all.

    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth. 
    • Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.
    • I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
