“He Can Erase My Name From Everything”
August 10th, 2017
Teammate compares to greats
How good can Noah Spence be?
Well, in the words of Bucs stud defensive tackle Gerald McCoy, once Spence gets the hang of things, he could render GMC’s feats with the Bucs forgettable.
Yesterday, when SiriusXM NFL Radio came by One Buc Palace, with “Movin’ the Chains” co-hosts Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller, one of the many Bucs players/coaches/management to drop by for an interview was GMC.
The subject of defensive end Noah Spence came up and GMC talked like he was suggesting revered JoeBucsFan.com columnist Ira Kaufman should start brushing up on presenting Spence for induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
“This guy can take over the NFL, man,” GMC said of Spence. “He can erase my name from everything, man, because he is that good. He is extremely talented. Once he gets it down it is scary.
“I know you have to see it first, but, if you are going off athleticism, he is Derrick Thomas/Von Miller-ish. He is very, very close.”
GMC went into great detail what sets Spence apart, citing, talent, motor, etc.
Now Joe was ostracized early for saying Spence has had a rather quiet camp. He has, and Joe is hardly the only Bucs media member who has written this. But something must be bubbling behind the scenes with Spence the way GMC spoke of him.
Joe will guess that since winning Bucs coach Dirk Koetter has his defense muzzled during practices, Spence has been hindered from unleashing himself.
To hear GMC’s full discussion of Spence, click below.

There you go Joe! You can write it down. Finally according to GMC, Spence will be your double digit SACK guy!!!!!
Spence is McCoy’s Super Hero!!!
With McCoy and Baker next to him it should happen this year.
Chaos will happen at the House of Pain!!!!
Yes, I’m going to be jumping around watching the HOME games while Joe is still in the den of depression. Come’ on Joe…. Jump Around!!!lol
Go Bucs!!!
August 10th, 2017 at 8:49 am
2 things will determine our success, OL play and pass rush. The pass rush will help our secondary tremendously. And word on Hey Jude’e MRI?
August 10th, 2017 at 8:51 am
I highly recommend for anyone that is a fan of the Buc’s to listen to the “moving the chains” show on the bucs on sirius/xm!!!! They even it on their on demand shows!!! They are one of the few eyes that The Buc Realist trust to see a training camp practice and decipher what looks good and what is getting accomplished!!!!! Do not forget that they get access to other training camps to compare with!!!!!!! From what I have been hearing has been in total conflict with “reports” of NS57!!!!!
I do not know why Joe has been down on NS57!!!!! When he has been so up on JS56 for multiple years!!!!! Maybe he is projecting to NS57 because he has been burned by JS56?????
By the end of the year!!!! Fans will think of NS57 as the best D-line man on the Bucs roster!!!!!!!
Go Bucs!!!!!!!!!!!
August 10th, 2017 at 9:25 am
I have also seen contrary points of view from other sources. Good thing is we can stop speculation shortly! Hope Spense can dominate like McCoy thinks!
August 10th, 2017 at 9:40 am
Sik’em Spawn..
August 10th, 2017 at 9:40 am
Future hall-of-famer go Bucs
August 10th, 2017 at 10:03 am
it wont take much for spawn to erase everything gmc accomplished considering he has NEVER WON A SINGLE MEANINGFUL GAME IN 7 YEARS…. I’ll give him credit for his 1 all pro season but pro bowls are meaningless so young spence has a very low bar to surpass the soft one.
August 10th, 2017 at 10:09 am
I really hope GMC is correct.
August 10th, 2017 at 10:15 am
I knew tmax would jump on that comment. To be fair, mccoy does have 4 all pro seasons. Tmax did you see the mindless one on this board say that mccoy was a better player than sappo by far? I was suprised you did not lose a gasket.
August 10th, 2017 at 10:20 am
webster
he has 1 all pro season not four
August 10th, 2017 at 10:22 am
webster,
I will wait for Mccoy to let the team down again this year when it matters most before going on any further rants. I’ll take my shots at the overrated soft one from time to time but I’ll wait for the big guy to choke before going nuts again with the I told you so’s
August 10th, 2017 at 10:50 am
Erase his name from what exactly? Does gmc own any buc records? Frankly, I’m surprised Noah didn’t beat out bosa last yr. I was convinced he was far better, let’s see what year 2 brings.
Side note: kb may be fat but he made it look easy last night against a pro bowl CB. I’d wait and see if we can go down the field and score on the first series b4 talking ish but wtf do I know? Btw kb probably had more yac (for a fat boy) in the first series than ME had all year. Oooooooh boom! Pow! I love mike but you gotta admit….ijs.
Oh and “cam shops at forever 21” prob the funniest ish I’ve heard all week.
August 10th, 2017 at 10:54 am
Wow, what a shocker – dumb and dumber have an opinion of GMC.
August 10th, 2017 at 11:04 am
Over/under 26.5 on how many shots tmax takes at gmc before the season starts
August 10th, 2017 at 11:15 am
Realist – i don’t have XM radio but that’s good to know.
In general it seems hard to evaluate the lineman right now in camp compared to skill players / QBs / defensive backs / LBs
August 10th, 2017 at 11:19 am
Hawaiian
Dumb and Dumber…LMAO
I think this means FOR SURE that GMC wants a trade because we all know he won’t play in the shadow of Noah….hell it’s already been posted he won’t play in the shadow of a franchise QB can’t imagine how peeved he’d be playing in the shadow of a fellow DL. (OK snark font off now)
August 10th, 2017 at 11:24 am
The defense isn’t full speed in practice. Wait until the games start.
August 10th, 2017 at 11:29 am
I didn’t state an opinion only asked a question as to not offend all these sensitive GMC nut huggers around here. I wouldn’t expect you to know the difference Hawaii cuz you’re not very smart. but I would expect better from St Pete. All good fellas you know me I happy to clown on you fools. Bring it!!!
GMC DONT OWN NO RECORDS THERES NOTHING FOR NOAH TO ERASE OTHER THAN THE LOSING CULTURE THAT GMC HAS ESTABLISHED.
August 10th, 2017 at 11:42 am
Joe isn’t down on Spence at all, just reporting what he is seeing/not seeing with his own eyes.
And Joe has always been suspicious of Jacquies Smith. Time has proven Joe correct. Again.
August 10th, 2017 at 11:42 am
Trollmax/Cancermax, RE: your ridiculous comment(s), DT’s don’t win games, retard. Don’t take my word for it. On the first episode of Hard Knocks Dirk Koetter had a sit down with GMC. He told him that he and only he could win or lose a game for us. Ha-ha, just trolling you Trollmax, he said this about Jameis, of course. And he’s right. Of course. So take it up with Koetter, Trollmax.
August 10th, 2017 at 11:43 am
Noah is probably quiet because Dirk is pretty much not allowing any contact in camp cus he doesn’t want anyone getting hurt so it’s hard for these linebackers and edge rushers to truly show their stuff.
August 10th, 2017 at 11:45 am
DB, regarding the “losing culture” –
This is all about winning. It’s not about what fans choose to call themselves or team “culture”. You know what creates a losing culture? Losing. Just like winning creates a winning culture. Not specific players or coaches or schemes (though obviously those are pieces of the puzzle and there are always rare players/coaches who make a real difference). What consistently winning team has any kind of “culture” we could identify aside from the vaunted Patriot Way (which obviously remains a mystery to most of the NFL since only the Pats seem to master it. Here’s a clue, the Patriot Way begins with Belichick and ends with Brady)? So I think this culture emphasis is great for sound bites but otherwise utter BS.
August 10th, 2017 at 11:54 am
Being called not smart by a clown makes me feel great about myself.
August 10th, 2017 at 11:59 am
“nuthuggers?” Really DB55?
Forget the lack of class it’s the lack of intellectual discourse that bothers me.
Basically I thought you had more brains than to resort to cheap ad hominem.
Guess I was mistaken.
August 10th, 2017 at 12:00 pm
Your mother is a clown and why haven’t you dies yet? No one likes you.
August 10th, 2017 at 12:00 pm
I’ve read GMC’s comments many times, yet still don’t see anything about records in it. But I guess I’m just not smart. You know you’re a loser when you have to fish so hard for material that you literally twist everything someone says to fit your ridiculous narrative. I hope it continues, because even the people who aren’t sold on McCoy realize what a complete moron Dumb and Dumber are. There’s no way they would want to associate with them. I really appreciate the two of you helping the rest of us feel great about ourselves.
August 10th, 2017 at 12:00 pm
Talk is cheap! Do it on the field then talk! What is GMC supposed to say? Excited by the team this year, but too much BS this time of year, I’d almost rather get blown out tomorrow night, so these guys can grind out the rest of the preseason and not get caught reading there headlines and getting ready for there HBO close up….TENNESSEE READY should be the cautionary tale!!!!
August 10th, 2017 at 12:01 pm

Keyboard warrior DB55!!! I am so terrified of you. I’m so sorry, please forgive me and don’t beat me up on the internet.
August 10th, 2017 at 12:04 pm
2002 that’s all that matters. You wanna talk about losers talk about GMC’s record as the “leader” cough cough.
August 10th, 2017 at 12:04 pm
Keep my name out your comments.

Don’t worry. The clown behind that now resides in Champaign, Ill.

Yes, I’m sorry Dumber. I won’t do it again.
August 10th, 2017 at 12:08 pm
So for the slow and stupid like Hawaii. When GMC says erase my name from everything what the hell is he talking about? Where exactly is his name written for it to be erased? Names are written in record books are they not? I just can’t deal with you idiotic country bumpkins.
August 10th, 2017 at 12:13 pm

Yes, I’m totally a “country bumpkin”. And I’m sorry, I forgot you didn’t grow up a “country bumpkin”, so let me help you out a little. It’s a figure of speech. It’s kind of like saying “he’s so good, people are going to forget all about me.” It’s a way of giving a huge compliment to the guy, kind of like last year when GMC said Jameis was going to be the MVP. He is talking up his teammates. You see, when grown folks talk, they don’t always mean things literally. You don’t have to take everything so seriously. Now if you excuse me, I have to go back to listening to Garth Brooks and doing other country bumpkin activities.
August 10th, 2017 at 12:16 pm
same low standard brain surgeons trying to defend a career loser who has not accomplished anything meaningful on the filed in 7 years… he will finish up in dallas next year and never be heard from again with the exception of comic con appearances and the national underooos super hero jello wrestling tournament.
August 10th, 2017 at 12:26 pm
DB, GMC was being rhetorical (this word means: verbal, expressed in terms intended to persuade or impress). This is obvious to most. So he wasn’t actually describing records or a record book that would be re-written. He was merely trying to persuade/impress a reporter. Much ado about nothing.
Now, back to low standard brain surgery…
August 10th, 2017 at 12:41 pm
Someone mentioned tomorrow night….I place next to no value on who wins that game.
Let’s see who plays and how they play. I do not expect to see starters for long…too many other decisions.
And I agree with posters who have suggested there may be 3rd down plays inside the 40 where DK runs it to find out how our running game is shaping up and if we fail getting to test our FG kickers as frequently as possible.
A win or loss Friday night means literally nothing!
August 10th, 2017 at 12:51 pm
DTs and DEs don’t win games on their own and you guys need to stop falling into the trap of trying to debate tmax and DB55. GMC has been the most recognizable player on this defense for a long time. There’s nothing wrong with shifting the focus on some newer guys. If we’re winning games, I don’t care if we ever reach double-digit sacks. Individual awards mean nothing if you’re not winning.
“Comic-Con appearances”?!!!! LMAO! Not for nothing though, if you’re looking to people watch, there is no better venue.
August 10th, 2017 at 1:06 pm
I hear you Bucsfanman and you’re right. In my case it’s primarily for sport.. It’s fun toying with the low information voters of JBF. I agree with stpete in that it would be nice if the discourse was a bit headier, but there’s a bell curve for a reason…
August 10th, 2017 at 1:28 pm
“same low standard brain surgeons trying to defend a career loser who has not accomplished anything meaningful on the filed in 7 years… ”
———
Pro Bowls, All Pro teams, top 100 players, captain of the defense, respect on this team and throughout the league, and a huge contract seem like pretty good accomplishments to me. I’d venture to say that’s better than anything you’ve ever accomplished in your life. Once we make the playoffs (hopefully this year), he can add that to the resume as well. Then you are really going to have to work to find something to complain about. Like I told you, I’m sorry he’s not willing to be in a relationship with you. We can’t always have what we want.
August 10th, 2017 at 1:45 pm
You guys are funny. Trust me the only “low information” people around here are you “real fans” just ask anyone outside the state of Florida.
3 winning seasons in 40+ years and they’re experts. Lmfao.
August 10th, 2017 at 2:30 pm
We’ve got a long way to go DB. But hey, at least we have won A Super Bowl. Not everyone can say that!
August 10th, 2017 at 2:54 pm
DB, we’re all real fans. I am certain you’re a real fan and I obviously know I am. However some fans are delusional (characterized by beliefs or impressions that are contradicted by reality or rational argument) and some are not. When your belief is contradicted by reality or rational argument then you are delusional. When the NFL community, players, coaches, etc, cite GMC as one of the best of his position that’s reality. When you argue against that, that’s delusional. End of story. It’s just not that hard to refute nonsense.

@ tmax
I dont know where you are getting that mccoy has only one all pro. I said 4 as an off the top of my head comment, but it is actually 3 times in 2013, 2014 and 2016.
August 10th, 2017 at 3:23 pm
What would tmax and DB55 dress up as at Comic Con? Villains or super-heroes?
August 10th, 2017 at 3:32 pm
@webster,
Because the idiot only counts first team all pro. By that measure, there’s only one good QB in the league. If you are second team all pro, you are an unaccomplished loser in his eyes.
August 10th, 2017 at 3:33 pm
“What would tmax and DB55 dress up as at Comic Con?”
Cowboys. Specifically the two main male leads in Brokeback Mountain. Obviously.

Well if this thread is to be judged by the best and most creative insult I think I gotta give the win to Steven007.
Cold but clever Steven!!!!
August 10th, 2017 at 5:16 pm
@ hawaiian
Thx bro. I thought I was missing something. Having said that, I understand some of the critque of mccoy but i am glad he is on our team. This is the year for mccoy to silence his critics.
August 10th, 2017 at 5:41 pm
hawaiian yeah being team captain on during one of the most embarrassing times in franchise history is nothing to hang your hat on sir… need I remind you that gmc led defenses have come out flat, played soft, are notoriously and self admitted mentally weak. nice try with that one.
pro bowls mean less than nothing and so do all those other meaningless lists you promote. until they change the object of the game from winning to arbitrary rankings and lists I’ll just stick with the fact he has a career losing record and has quit on multiple coaches. he’s an embarrassment
August 10th, 2017 at 5:43 pm
Bucsfanman
no doubt comic con has it’s pluses. it’s right up there with pride parades for people watching and boob flashes.
August 10th, 2017 at 6:50 pm
@maxi,
You’re not worth arguing with, but I enjoy arguing with stupid people, because it makes me look a lot smarter than I really am. Only a complete idiot would draw the conclusion that one guy (a 3 technique no less) could control an entire team. You mention nothing about the lack of talent and coaching that team had. No, it was all the fault of #93. It’s probably his fault that the organization didn’t surround him with any talent, right? It was his fault they hired incompetent coaches that rotated in and out of One Buc like you rotate in and out of your shift at Burger King.
Was Dick Butkus a bad football player? Was Gayle Sayers? Is Joe Thomas a good football plater? Those guys are hall of famers and they never played in a playoff game. They played on some dreadful teams. Calvin Johnson played on a 0-16 team. Is he worthless too? Your argument is weak, and your lame reasoning does nothing but make you look stupid. You are a joke to us. Don’t you see that? Nobody on this board respects you. Nobody values your input or opinion. Is that what you want? You are a pathetic loser that we all mock. How does it feel? Is your life that terrible where you are that desperate for attention? If so, I really think you should seek help.
August 10th, 2017 at 6:58 pm
Delusional? Let’s see in just the last month Rhonde said GMC “is no badass” Again I know reading is difficult for you people so here’s the link maybe get some to read it for you. https://www.joebucsfan.com/2017/07/gerald-mccoy-no-badass-says-ronde-barber/
Then just last week Schiano said his dline at Ohio st is the best he’s ever coached. If that’s not a slam idk what is.
I can also post articles from Shaun king, Sapp, Brooks, rice all questioning his effort. Not to mention Ian Beckles or the leader of the stick carriers himself who has made his career from bashing GMC.
But yea Tmax and I are delusional.
August 10th, 2017 at 7:04 pm
The season is almost here and we have the moron brothers attacking arguably one of our best players. Moronic behavior less than helpful snipes, name calling….. morons.
August 10th, 2017 at 7:07 pm
Hey Tmax
I guess those 3 pro bowls that told GMC he’s soft didn’t know what they were talking about either and Jameis having “the talk” with GMC meant nothing either. Notice Jameis didn’t have “the talk” with LVD, Kwon or Ayers but whatever.
The Sons of the confederate sure do love them some bojangle acting types don’t they?
August 10th, 2017 at 7:41 pm
tmax ought to go to comic con dressed as either a cupcake or a tmaxipad (soiled). Both fit his mentality. Yeow, man, I can see why you guys call Spence, “Spawn” from the above pic! He looks like a Terminator. If GMC says Spence is for-real, I will take it. He knows what he’s talking about unlike some dim bulbs on here!! Go Mighty Bucs !! I know it’s pre-season but SO WHAT?! 🙂
August 10th, 2017 at 8:43 pm

@Dumber55,
I guess you didn’t actually see the interview with Schiano did you? If you did, you’d realize how stupid you are making yourself look. I think you should go back and watch it and see what he said about McCoy.
It’s funny how you can point to a few people saying something negative about Gerald, but you ignore the hundreds of Pro Bowlers and Hall of Famers that say the exact opposite. You’re really not worth arguing with, because it’s like arguing with a 3 year old. Go back to watching Sponge Bob, because football isn’t your thing.
And I do think it’s cute that you and Dumb are so tight. You make such a sweet couple. I think I saw you on a commercial at the Pro Bowl. I just want you to know that I have no problem with it. Love is love.
August 10th, 2017 at 8:52 pm
DB55, if I’m not mistaken, you were banging the drum for Schiano to be fired ( and rightfully so) but it discredits your argument to cite him as an example as to why GMC is “bad”. It makes you look like a hypocrit. You can’t say how bad Schiano is but then quote him to support your claims. Doesn’t work that way man.
P.S. Ronde does not have an H. For Christs sake you even pasted a link containing his name in your post and still couldn’t get his name right.
August 10th, 2017 at 8:55 pm
Have you ever thought to yourself that you spend way too much time criticizing someone? Don’t you have something better to do with your time? Do you have friends? I’m a fan of everyone on our team. Even if I think a particular player is overrated, I don’t spend time bashing him. He’s my guy if he’s on the Bucs. You and your partner obviously have a lot of time on your hands.
August 10th, 2017 at 8:58 pm
Here is what Schiano said after stating his Ohio State D-Line is the best he’s every coached:
““It is, and that’s not a joke,” said Schiano. “We had a great player in Tampa in Gerald McCoy. Tremendous player, but that was one guy.”
August 10th, 2017 at 9:30 pm
Your last comment was your own mic drop, well done Hawaiian. And yes DB, delusional. I mean if the shoe fits. And if fits like a freaking glove.
August 11th, 2017 at 3:38 am
A lot of posters here like to attack GMC. Meanwhile most of the NFL Players and Gm”s think highly of him. The Peter Principle applies here. Not to GMC, it applies to the ‘fans’ that constantly attack him. I would speculate that is a variable of the Peter Principle. You have reached hard to make this a personal attack against an outstanding player.If you might understand your opinion means as much as a $3 bill, I would just stop trying to slander him for your own personal glorification. You have expressed over and over how you feel. FINE. Anyone should respect other peoples opinons, but stop with the incessant attacks on him. I think i will name that the Peter Puffer’s Principle..Go Bucs!!
