Tampa cut McCoy because he said he was better than they thought.  We bit.  He wasn’t. 

That happens a lot around here.

We've always rotated our front four a lot and honestly that's one of the Rivera concepts I agree with. Keep those guys fresh and they'll be more effective.

McCoy seemed to be the type player that thought he knew more than the coaches and that kind of attitude can have an effect on other teammates. I wish him well but also say good riddance.

Ron got fired for good reason.....

 

But I am trying to imagine how piss poor our defense would have been with McCoy as a "three down lineman" and I am thinking we could have been talking Burrow the last few months.

If his skills weren't in decline, he would have still been in Tampa. He honestly didnt show much here and we moved on.

Might should have been someting to discuss when deciding to come here. It's no shock our defensive line has always rotated lineman.  He played the most out of any DT

[Snake]

If McCoy played every down he would have been terrible.

I know some people who watched McCoy play last year thought he was primarily looking for sacks and wasn't playing that hard against the run.

True? Don't know, but I've seen more than one person give that opinion.

That's what I got out of watching him play. A dozen sacks nets you a dozen million in this day and age. A dozen tackles of running backs for two yards or less gets you... an offer for vet minimum.

He was playing for the next paycheck. Just like most of the guys on our D-line last year. Yeah, McCoy was a leader all right.

He could have had 20 tackles (instead of 15) for the season  if left alone.  A damn wrecking ball.

Folks, one thing that we never really addressed was how this coaching staff devolved.  He is probably right, to a degree, considering the injuries to his DT mates--unless this is self-promoting banter to reporters.

Good riddance. Take away his big name, I would have thought he was jag we picked up
