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."

https://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2015/03/12/2015-free-agency-live-blog-day-3/

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

Whoever gets Henry Melton is getting a very good player.

Made a huge impact on Cowboys DL with little help

If I'm the saints or Falcons I'd rather face them than star and short.

The Bucs are the team to watch--but we are the team to beat.  I like Kalil, Norwell, and Turner. 

[TheRumGone]

mccoy is this all pro dude.

 

literally never does anything against us..like ever

[CatalystNX]

Norwell/Kalil/Turner got this.

"Tampa's new free agents are finally going to put them over the top and push them into the playoffs!!"

 

-Every offseason for the last decade

[Verge]

Michael Johnson and Gerald Mccoy on the same line? Terrifying.

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.

the option on Henry Melton ’s contract for an additional 3 years

worth $24M.

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.
