TAMPA — A subdued Gerald McCoy met briefly with reporters Thursday at Bucs headquarters. A subdued McCoy is such a letdown. McCoy can light up a room with one smile or a few words. Thursday was low wattage.
Maybe McCoy is recharging his battery, down-tempo and all, before playing the up-tempo Eagles.
Maybe he’s bothered by the shoulder injury that has slowed him. Yes, another injury. After 4.5 sacks to start the season, he has five tackles with no sacks over his last four games.
Maybe he’s worn down by all these games, all these seasons, fighting double-teams.
