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.

    • I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
