GMC Cracking From Losing?
November 4th, 2018
Quiet.
It seems even the losing is starting to get to Bucs stud defensive tackle Gerald McCoy.
GMC, who has been in the last six Pro Bowls, has always been available to talk. If it hasn’t been in the locker room in the week leading up to a game, it has always been after games, win or lose.
Well, it appears GMC is in the middle of Operation Shutdown. GMC hasn’t spoken since he suffered a calf injury and despite playing in today’s game, he was not speaking to the pen and mic club today, per ESPN’s Jenna Laine.
A group of around 10 media members waited by Gerald McCoy’s locker after the game. He walked past us, declining to talk. He hasn’t spoken for the last several weeks.

,
So is losing year after year, after year, after year, after year, after year, after year, after year finally getting to GMC?
It sure has to Bucs fans who continually get slapped in the face for the better part of a decade now.
November 4th, 2018 at 5:49 pm
Hahaha! I wonder what he said to the bank teller.
November 4th, 2018 at 5:51 pm
I feel bad for the guy. You can not win with that Bucs secondary no matter what you do, and no matter what GMC does people just whine about him smiling saying he’s a bust.
It’s a shame the Bucs have wasted this guys career, it reminds me of Paul Gruber just without the late career team turnaround that Gruber got to be apart of.
November 4th, 2018 at 5:52 pm
GMC is a BIG SOFTIE!!!!!! Trade him now
November 4th, 2018 at 5:52 pm
I’m all ‘broke-up’ over GMC’s feelings.
November 4th, 2018 at 5:53 pm
Who cares? Only the pen and mic club. Stay silent its better that way.
November 4th, 2018 at 5:53 pm
Sorry I like the guy. I want him to stay. I know he’s had help but the entire defense is not working well together. Hasn’t in a very long time.
November 4th, 2018 at 5:58 pm
Get this guy outta my face…….I’m just done with him as a fan. He has been a stiff for the last two seasons.
November 4th, 2018 at 5:58 pm
He’s the problem.
November 4th, 2018 at 5:58 pm
Oh, I see he got a .5 sack and increased his season total to 2. Donald was shown to see 70% actual real double teams and he has 10 sacks.
November 4th, 2018 at 5:59 pm
Dude sorry anyway he’s done and he knows he’ll be done after this season. He’s not talking because his last year making a big game check is almost over
November 4th, 2018 at 6:04 pm
Oh oh! Now that he’s not talking to the media will they run him out of town too? Oh oh! McIceCream don’t bite the hand that feeds you. They may actually report on how terrible you are for what you’re paid. They may actually report that you have zero trade value. Fake it til you make it McIceCream smile and talk to the media it’s what you do best.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:05 pm
Give me a break. If he’s a leader, then he should be available to the press. He needs to go. What a baby.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:06 pm
Grrrr… Pro Bowler year in and year out…. he smiles too much and that makes me angry because football players should be mean…. Grrrr… I’m so angry that he’s not angry…. Grrrr….
November 4th, 2018 at 6:07 pm
This is why this team sucks. It’s because we have weak babies like McCoy as ‘leaders’
November 4th, 2018 at 6:07 pm
It’s really sad but I expected this team to lose today. I haven’t felt confident in a Bucs team since the early 2000’s. That’s sad.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:08 pm
There’s more losses coming
November 4th, 2018 at 6:11 pm
Fire the coach.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:13 pm
Trade GMC… PLEASE. Glazers sell the team you suck as owners.. so many holes on this team no where close to winning. Fire Licht & Koetter… you think DeBartolo is interested. Stick to soccer you clowns!
November 4th, 2018 at 6:13 pm
I wonder if his silence coincides with the dancing during the Atlanta game.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:14 pm
That feeling in your gut right now is the realization that all of the players and coaches this website tried to sell the fans without them earning it have failed miserably. The haters were even called “Goons” if I remember correctly.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:14 pm
At least any sane person knows not to expect anything from this team.
It’s kind of sad to expect failure from your team but it is needed. Otherwise the losses would actually hurt. I don’t even care we lost today. I expected it.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:16 pm
Grrr… He smiles and like comic books…. Grrrr… I’m so angry… Grrr… Why is he still smiling…. Grrrrr…. I can’t take it…. Grrrr…..
November 4th, 2018 at 6:18 pm
Sapp is one of the worse guys off the field real piece of SH….t. But on the field he was a DOG who wanted to win at all cost.. miss guys like that being here.. we have a bunch of losers who feel sorry for themselves.. Hump maybe be one of the few who plays hard every play and with passion giving EVERY OUNCE of effort he has within him….Need more guys like that
November 4th, 2018 at 6:20 pm
Grrr he is a stiff…..great I hate stiffs
November 4th, 2018 at 6:20 pm
Well think of it this way, many, if not most, football publications had the Bucs as the worst team in the NFC, if not the worst team in football. It’s pretty unlikely that they’ll end the season as the worst team in football, so in that way they’ve exceeded expectations. Then again they are on pace to have the worst defense in the history of football, so who knows, the NFL might change the record to show the Saints and Eagles as having won those games to build TV hype later in the season.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:24 pm
When will we admit…its not JW…its the defense..trade everyone…mccoy..david..alexander..who ever
They all suck
November 4th, 2018 at 6:24 pm
Make Monken the head coach to finish out the season
November 4th, 2018 at 6:24 pm
GMC is a fake leader period all his talk is hollow and BS, be a leader not a loser then maybe c davis doesnt get that penalty today but since no leaders that stuff happens
November 4th, 2018 at 6:26 pm
I agree with you Lakeland … “There’s more losses coming”. Bucs’ offense wasn’t sterling this afternoon, but they did put up 28 points against a very good Panthers’ defense. If we’d scored 28 points in every game last year, our record would’ve been 11-5 and we would’ve been in the playoffs.
Last year’s defense allowed a tad less than 24 PPG. If we kept this year’s opponents to 24 PPG, we’d be 7-1 right now based on the points our offense has put up in each game. And last year’s defense wasn’t exactly a bunch of superstars. So what’s changed? Heck, everyone screamed that it was Scapegoat Smitty, so we launched him into the desert. We supposedly added talent to our DLine … Vea, Allen, JPP, Curry, plus Nassib playing decent football. And yet, they’re getting near zero pressure on the QBs AND they can’t stop the run to boot. Our LBs look lost in space, and our Secondary is ALWAYS 1-step-behind. Well, make that 10-steps-behind.
is it the coaching? Is it the lack of talent? Is it lack of leadership? Short answer: YES.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:26 pm
Walmart has kleenex on sale this week. Better stock up. 8 more games and about 5 more cryin games to go.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:26 pm
Mike Smith doomed this entire staff and Jameis career by installing his horrible defense
November 4th, 2018 at 6:27 pm
He ought to try being a fan, at least he has some control
November 4th, 2018 at 6:28 pm
I don’t give a s… about Mccoy it’s not just him it’s the entire defense with missed tackles blown assignment and so on. My question is who kept M Smith around so long as to ruin this defense. If that was Koetter idea then he’s getting what he deserve and should be fired if this team doesn’t make the playoffs which I doubt . The offense struggles some time but they seem to right the ship and kept playing their ass off. However we can’t win if the offense score 30 and our opponents score 45 we have enough talent on this defense to be a lot better
November 4th, 2018 at 6:28 pm
Can’t blame him, I wouldn’t have much to say either if I was on that defense.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:29 pm
These players have no clue on the amount of backlash coming. Money has been wasted by fans and owners for entirely way too long. They want answers. You have to go out of your way to be this bad for this long or simply want it that way. This is dark territory even for this organization. There is no trust from the top down. This is one the turning points in Buccaneer history. ROCK BOTTOM!!
November 4th, 2018 at 6:29 pm
Are they still trying to coach the Lovie out of this team?
November 4th, 2018 at 6:31 pm
I hate myself
November 4th, 2018 at 6:31 pm
GMC has never been a leader……PERIOD
He’s Captain Blowout of the LOSING culture here in Tampa
…….Leaders are there regardless of wins and losses
and you know what? The rest of the defense sees his bytch azz acting this way and it’s a cancer attitude that infects the whole team, especially the defense
THink about it……THE HIGHEST PAID player on the team not contributing and not acting like a leader
HES A CANCER TO THE TEAM
November 4th, 2018 at 6:33 pm
The O/Line Sucks
November 4th, 2018 at 6:34 pm
Ggrrrrrr, I had a horrible view of today’s game. Ggggrrrrr rod munch in his #93 Bucs Jersey blocked my view ggggrrrr. And that song he was singing gggrrrrr.
Oh boy oh boy
Get em McCoy.
Tackle em sack em
Get em GMC
GGGRRRRRRRR
November 4th, 2018 at 6:34 pm
Why does GMC need to be the “leader” – it’s the dumbest most fake new argument ever. Sapp wasn’t the leader of the defense either. Who needs to be lead anyways? These millennials with their constant need for someone to “lead” them and not being able to do anything for themselves, it’s embarrassing.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:34 pm
Defense Rules
Jason Licht has built the wrong team
He built a team that can score 28 points a game
But every team in the NFC South can score points
He need a team that can stop teams from scoring also
A good offense, and good defense
Carolina scored 500 points in 2015
Atlanta scored 540 points in 2106
New Orleans scored 448 points in 2107
November 4th, 2018 at 6:35 pm
He’s the cancer. Time to move on.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:36 pm
Get that stupid GMC commerical off my radio.
I’ve never been a McCoy hater, even defended the guy a bit. The dude just needs to be JAG or get out of my freaking face because now I resent you and starting to resent this team.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:37 pm
GhostofSchiano – He literally had a sack today and was getting pressure quite often, how is that a “bad” day? I mean it’s amazing people will say Vita had a great day when he has 0 sacks, 0 QB pressures, 0 QB hits and 0 tackles – he literally does nothing and the GMC haters will call him the next Warren Sapp. LOL!
Anywho I’m not bashing Vita, he’s a rookie and I personally don’t expect anything from a rookie DT, but the point is the example of seeing what you want to see.
But the big question is, is Vita a leader? Is he going to lead the team? Does he smile too much?
November 4th, 2018 at 6:37 pm
Every team in the NFC South can score
But it comes down to turnovers, takeaways, running the ball, defense
Those are the areas where the Bucs are lacking
November 4th, 2018 at 6:38 pm
I threw out my Gerald McCoy collectors beer cup just now. I just want this stiff out of my face.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:39 pm
GMC should of been traded a long time back
November 4th, 2018 at 6:40 pm
I do not envy the “Joe” that had locker room duty today.
Who wanted to go into THAT locker room!!!
November 4th, 2018 at 6:41 pm
Lakeland…..yeah the Bucs can score. But they can’t score when we need them.
It’s not an accomplishment to score points when your down by three or more TDs.
We had two possessions in this game with the score 0-0. We made 3 yards on those possessions. The offense aren’t doing nothing when we actually need them.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:43 pm
I like what I see in the offense like what Koetter has done but I think the Glazers better decide very quickly on weather they want to bring a top notch DC to mesh wth this offense or bring in a top notch HC next year because we as fans are looking at several years of not being a contender and hearing the same Ole excusesl
November 4th, 2018 at 6:44 pm
Our offense put up huge stats against Pitt. And they had the ball whith a chance for a final game winning possession. Instead we get 2 yards then punt.
We can’t score when we actually need it. Offense is vastly overrated.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:45 pm
GMC is a big fat softie, if he really cared about losing he’d sack the quarterback
November 4th, 2018 at 6:51 pm
JimmyJack – Yeah, you said it, the Bucs put up big numbers against the Steelers, have the ball with 3 mins to go, and Dirk punts it away when anyone with a brain knows there is zero chance they get the ball back. It’s exactly why Dirk should be fired. He’s been a coward all year and finally he does something different he’s running a fake punt down by 21 in the 2nd quarter when the season is already over (and I don’t disagree with the fake punt, but why not have some balls when it still mattered).
November 4th, 2018 at 6:54 pm
You guys can call McCoy whatever names you want
“Softie”
“Pro bowler”
Doesn’t matter
The defense plays as good or better without him on the field and that speaks volumes
November 4th, 2018 at 6:55 pm
They should fold this horrible franchise
November 4th, 2018 at 6:55 pm
Jimmy jack and rod munch I am with you on a very true statement
November 4th, 2018 at 6:55 pm
Rod Much……I doubt it would of mattered. Our offense got that ball and siezed up.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:59 pm
Its time to clean house completely. Coaches & players. Get rid of the high salary players those that about to be that are not earning there keep. Hell maybe Gruden’s got the right idea except he’s going to extremes. When a new coach & GM are hired they need to evaluate all the players & get rid of the dead wood. Weed em out. I know a lot of you don’t like changing coaches every 2 or 3 years but you can’t keep going down the same road & expect different results. Sometime change is good. Just depends on th roll of the dice. Also I think it would help if the Glazers sold the team, since I don’t think they care one iota.
November 4th, 2018 at 6:59 pm
Geraldini is soft as Charmin!
November 4th, 2018 at 7:02 pm
Just seeing this guys face sucks the good right out of the NFL for me. It makes me not even want to watch the night game. Fake-ass Von Miller.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:03 pm
Our most pivatol game of the year and they came out unprepared again? Beyond inexcusable.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:05 pm
Good points and stats DR.
Pretty crazy to considerate that stuff as well. Last year’s defense + this year’s offense lol.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:06 pm
Dear Gerald,
Don’t make me laugh!
Bye bye Softie!!!!!!
The only thing to look forward to at the end of the season.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:07 pm
Maybe he’s finally realized he’s part of the problem.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:09 pm
Donald exposed this guy’s career. The only problem was people didn’t see it until it was too late. Most fans knew it years ago when Donald was throwing Marpet five yards down the field.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:09 pm
“Don’t make me laugh”………Then don’t embarrass our city you friggen stiff. Just get on IR and get outta my face!!!!!
November 4th, 2018 at 7:11 pm
I don’t need to make you laugh either. I see you laughing on the sidelines when your defense has already gagged up 30 points in the 3rd quarter.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:12 pm
Trade him
November 4th, 2018 at 7:12 pm
JimmyJack
I agree with you
You’re saying what I’ve been saying all year
November 4th, 2018 at 7:13 pm
Does GMC have more heart than Fitzpatrick?
November 4th, 2018 at 7:16 pm
We haven’t accounted for Kiwan Shorts since he has been in the league.
These types of things are what gets a HC fired IMO.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:16 pm
More like he is in his feelings cause he is no longer our best lineman thanks to JPP
November 4th, 2018 at 7:16 pm
It’s time to let GMac go, he’s too overpaid for how little he has produced this year. He has no more dead money after this year so it won’t affect our cap.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:19 pm
So we have to stomach GMC for another 8 games. That’s going to be difficult to tolerate.
I honestly enjoy watching this defense more when GMC is injured.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:21 pm
McCoy is certainly a key “stud” in the historic frame of losing.
Someone please make a single impact play this poser has ever made….
I’ll wait.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:22 pm
*Please name
November 4th, 2018 at 7:22 pm
He once sacked Matt Ryan in the fourth quarter.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:23 pm
Again we only get garbage yards & points. Down 35 – 7 only one team in NFL history has comeback from that deficit in regular season. So all those stats are meaningless the teams are playing off and not to lose that’s why we are teased w potential comeback stats & points. The best part of the game is when Barbers co anchor asked him if he brought his jersey. Boy could we have used him bet he comes right out of the booth & provides more at 40 than MJ Stewart ever could
November 4th, 2018 at 7:23 pm
The only guys on this team I would like to keep are Evans, Godwin, OJ, Marpet, Smith, J Evans, LVD, Davis, Jameis, Barber (as a backup) Hump, JPP, Vea annnnd that’s it. That’s pretty sad for a team full of 53 guys.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:23 pm
Eliot one time McCoy batted down a ball to stop a game winning drive.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:24 pm
Ndog…..I would like to add Shaun Wilson to your list. I think he could actually be our best RB but the coach’s don’t realize it.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:27 pm
Hasn’t McCoy never sacked Drew Bress? Usually Bress drops back 40+ times per game too. Astounding stat.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:27 pm
McCoy wants to get punched in the faced by a super hero?
Bucs fans get punched in the n*ts by this pu**y filled defense lead by this d-bag ever f**king Sunday.
This guy has serious talent, but there is ZERO “dawg” in him. He’s as fake as it gets.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:29 pm
Remember all you idiots claiming this team would win 10-11 games?
I told you 6 wins tops!!
I said you’re all gonna be disappointed if you think this is a playoff team.
I told all of you to not get your hopes up. That’s why I’m not surprised at all and I’m not upset or mad about this season because I knew this wasn’t a good team.
The browns of the south.
Idiots.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:30 pm
Not much silver lining out there today.
My week is shot.
Just sayin’, since I’ve been bashing him all year, Caleb Benenoch had his best day as a pro.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:30 pm
McCoy has a high grade at PFF
The highest of any Buc D-Lineman
November 4th, 2018 at 7:32 pm
TheNorm- This team has a 12-4 offense and a 0-16 defense, which equals a 6-10 team. Anywho most “experts” had the Bucs as the worst team in the NFC, anyone that thought this was an 11 win team is an idiot, but honestly I really don’t remember people saying that – but feel free to point them out so I can join in mocking them.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:32 pm
TheNorm
You say 6
I said 4-12
November 4th, 2018 at 7:34 pm
LakeLand – I’m obviously not part of the anti-GMC lynch mob and I don’t read the fake news PFF, but if they have him ranked higher than JPP that would surprising even for them.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:36 pm
Jared Goff is a total bust, they need to cut him and put in a QB that can get them 48 points a game.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:39 pm
I predicted 10-6. So what if I was wrong. If mocking me will ease the pain of another loss then I’m glad I can be of any assistance.
November 4th, 2018 at 7:54 pm
JimmyJack – Thank you for your honesty, it won’t save you from future ridicule, but I appreciate those who admit to saying stuff that they said something if it later proves to be incorrect. So with that said if you thought this team, a team starting Chris Conte and Ryan Smith week 1, was a 10 win team, then yeah, that’s pretty dumb. But hey your error came from wanting to see the best in the team, and no one can blame you for that. But note I said no one can blame you, they can still mock you, and that’s how things must be.
God bless.
November 4th, 2018 at 8:09 pm
i think the consensus here is GMC should walk next season, and from what i see LVD, was taking bad angles all game, that’s two right there, i am so tired of this i wish this bad dream would end
November 4th, 2018 at 8:15 pm
All of you talking trash about GMC week after week would have skinny neck and balls tucked between your legs if face to face with em’.
November 4th, 2018 at 8:17 pm
@theNorm
We’re not Idiots. Truth is, we live a much more happier life living with hope, instead of living in darkness and hate of having no hope at all.
November 4th, 2018 at 8:37 pm
McCoy popularity is based off of the casual fan..when the media say Buccaneer the first player named is McCoy.Its such a joke and I wont be surprised if he’s voted to the Pro Bowl again because of his name.
November 4th, 2018 at 8:45 pm
Someone get the big fat softie some ice cream
November 4th, 2018 at 8:46 pm
Licht sat on his hands and made no trades. He probably could have traded McCoy for high first round pick at the Draft but Jason Lich is incompetent. He could have traded Winston before he came back from suspension after an awesome preseason, but that didn’t happen either. I would expect our GM to make better personnel decisions than any of us fans. But any seriously any Buc Fan could do a better job. In all fairness to Koetter, his roster is 60% junk but I’m sure he had a hand in on every pick Licht has made. They had me fooled this offseason. I thought they might do something but every one Licht signed or drafted other than JPP sucks. This mean he sucks. Yeah Dirk sucks too. They all suck.
November 4th, 2018 at 8:51 pm
Maybe McCoy should trade his cleats for a nice pair of loafers. What a colossal waste of money McCoy has been. He looked like he gained 20-30 lbs today. Probably been parked on the couch for the last few weeks playing COD, Madden and eating box upon box of cereal.
November 4th, 2018 at 8:55 pm
Not a Gerald McCoy fan at all; Geraldini has a bad habit of disappearing when we need him the most… Imo our season was over when we drafted Danny Shelton 2.0 Vita Vea in the first round…It’s crazy how it took Geraldine over 10 years to get fed up with the losing, what a dud… even Lavonte David has regressed under this coaching staff…
Our defense can’t stop anyone, our offensive line can’t block anyone, we can’t run the football, and I close my eyes, and cross my fingers every time we line up to kick a flippin field goal; yet we expect perfection from the quarterback position…
Jameis may be far from perfect but what you can never do is question his overall effort, and heart… McCoy on the other hand needs follow the yellow brick road, find The Wizard of Oz and ask for a heart cause he doesn’t have one…
November 4th, 2018 at 9:08 pm
Guys, this is a serious question, not trolling or anything – but why does GMC need to be a “leader” to be any good? Why isn’t David called out for not being a “leader”? Why does the defense need a “leader” at all? It’s a serious question – I truly don’t get the mindset of saying McCoy is terrible because he’s not a “leader”. Where does the idea come from that he needs to be the “leader”?
It’s a genuine question as I just don’t get the mindset.
November 4th, 2018 at 9:13 pm
Munch we don’t need a leader. We have no leaders on defense right now. This is what a leaderless defense basically looks like.
November 4th, 2018 at 9:14 pm
If we had a real GM who knew we didnt have the talent to be a playoff team he would have traded 93.
I dont think his trade value is that high with his salary though.
Glazer boys, With all due respect ….You dont have what Mr Glazer had.
This organization is a train wreck.
November 4th, 2018 at 9:16 pm
I just want McCoy to play like a top tier DT. That’s how he gets paid. He doesn’t have lead anyon but himself IMO. Based on today’s performance, not a single player on this defense was worthy of wearing an NFL uniform. I could care less about leaders. Just do your job. McCoy is terrible because he’s terrible. He can’t get pressure. He can’t beat a single blocker 99% of the time, much less a double team. And I agree that Jameis has heart in spades. He never gives up and that may be the one thing that saves his career.
November 4th, 2018 at 9:21 pm
Blame McCoy? Dude is one of eleven, starting to think everyone hates this guy cause he makes more in a year than most of us will see in 5-10-15 years. Lot of soft effort all around. Need to switch the deactivated qbs next week, fitz and griffin
November 4th, 2018 at 9:25 pm
We need leaders on this team to set the standard of performance. GMC is not inspiring anyone to play better, and neither is Jamies. Which is why the defense is a joke and the offense is stupid. Leaders give their team an identity and we have none. Which is why nobody respects the Bucs
November 4th, 2018 at 9:26 pm
I just want McCoy out of my face. Just leave me alone with this guy already……..Go play in your mansion and fade away.
Just wanna forget about you already.
November 4th, 2018 at 9:27 pm
I just want McCoy off my team. I would demand it if I could.
November 4th, 2018 at 9:34 pm
Compared to Allen and vea and roches he’s the only dt we got who semi shows up when in the game.
November 4th, 2018 at 9:35 pm
So now his locker room attitude matches his play on the field…silent. Time for this over rated sideline dancer to go.
November 4th, 2018 at 9:36 pm
How many coaches has McCoy quit on since he’s been here?…If there’s a cancer in the locker room its him…
November 4th, 2018 at 9:57 pm
Still the only tackle on the stat sheet, only team whose dts play hundred +snaps and have a couple tackles
November 4th, 2018 at 10:57 pm
He played today? I didn’t notice
November 4th, 2018 at 11:06 pm
Humphries, Evans, Godwin, Brate, Howard, Marpet, JPP, Alexander – everyone else can go!
November 4th, 2018 at 11:13 pm
This team is a dumpster fire

Our fan base is dumpster fire

GMC is voted by fellow players as being a top DT year in and year out, the guys he’s playing against don’t say he’s “soft” or doesn’t play hard, that’s just message board and sports radio talk.
Again it’s the lynch mob mentality of just repeating something so often you believe it. GMC gets a sack today, was bringing pressure quite a bit, meanwhile guys are running wide open all over the field – but it’s GMC who is at fault. Why? Because he smiled, and that means he’s soft. Grrrr….
There is absolutely no reason GMC has to be the “leader” and if he’s not the “leader” that he’s awful. It’s just a buzzword being tossed around without people even knowing what it actually means.

That sack Gerald got had not to do with Gerald. He was untouched, Eric LeGrand would of gotten a sack on that play

agent prolly told him “stay quiet and keep it moving because you’re so outta here”…
he’ll be traded for a 3rd or 4th rounder…or something like that…
he might get more ubiquitous injuries and sit a lot as well so the blame is far away from him, and to keep some semblance of value to his name…
he needs to go play somewhere that he isn’t required to establish the demeanor of the d line…he needs to be in a place where their “tude” is already locked in

You people are way off..he stopped talking when he found out his team mates voted him OUT as team capatain..validating the fact that they are tired of his preaching without out backing it up..so what you all seeing is his pouting and passive agressive bitchisms.. dude is over rated!..his team knows and anyone that watches all-22 knows..except you jock strap sniffers…

I, just like any other rational fan who isn’t even a GMC hater should have seen this coming. He has been declining significantly every season since turning 28. He is no longer an impact player for this team. Any one who thought this would be his best year because of the players surrounding him was delusional or not paying attention.

@Lakeland
Imagine if we had gone 4-12 last season like we should have. Bradley Chubb or Quenton Nelson are proving themselves each and every week to be significantly better than Vita Vea.
