N/S Sounds like Suh to Tampa (1 year deal) (1 Viewer)

[Grumpy Old Manatee]

Certainly not the player he was/could have been, but someone we’ll have to scheme for, just to help our guys avoid his cheap shots.

[gregh]

they need more than him to turn them around, not worried

 

[Alan12]

Nothing but a sellsword. He obviously went to the highest bidder, no interest in winning. Just the money.

 

[AARPSaint]

Well, Tampa is on the West Coast. Of Florida that is.

I think this a net negative for them going from McCoy to Suh. Maybe a little cheaper contract, but also have the difference from a known great locker room guy to a character concern.

Well, on one had it weakens the Rams defense, on the other its strengthens the Buccs that already gives the Saints offense fits at times. I think we're less likely to see the Buccs in the playoffs then the Rams, so on whole i guess its a plus for the Saints.

McCoy is better than Suh so I disagree that this strengthens them.

If I was McCoy I'd be furious right now. Suh got taken higher in the draft, underperformed and became known as a "me-first" player with suspensions, and then the Bucs release you to sign him?

Come get your revenge in N.O.

McCoy has not played that way in a few years.

I agree. Suh has 1.5 more career sacks than McCoy thanks to his early success in his rookie and sophomore years, but that’s about it.

Since 2017

• Suh - 9.0 sacks, 31 QB hits, 13 TFL, 6 passes defended, 2 FF and 2 FR
• McCoy - 12.0 sacks, 45 QB hits, 19 TFL, 2 passes defended

Since 2016

• Suh - 14.0 sacks, 48 QB hits, 24 TFL, 12 passes defended, 2 FF and 3 FR
• McCoy - 19.0 sacks, 59 QB hits, 24 TFL, 7 passes defended, 2 FF and 2 FR

Since 2015

• Suh - 20.0 sacks, 68 QB hits, 41 TFL, 17 passes defended, 2 FF and 3 FR
• McCoy - 27.5 sacks, 76 QB hits, 32 TFL, 8 passes defended, 2 FF and 2 FR

Since 2014

• Suh - 28.5 sacks, 88 QB hits, 62 TFL, 20 passes defended, 2 FF and 3 FR
• McCoy - 36.0 sacks, 89 QB hits, 45 TFL, 11 passed defended, 3 FF and 2 FR

Since 2013

• Suh - 34.0 sacks, 108 QB hits, 71 TFL, 26 passed defended, 3 FF and 3 FR
• McCoy - 45.5 sacks, 110 QB hits, 60 TFL, 15 passes defended, 3 FF and 3 FR

Since 2012

• Suh - 42.0 sacks, 140 QB hits, 88 TFL, 28 passes defended, 3 FF and 3 FR
• McCoy - 50.5 sacks, 125 QB hits, 65 TFL, 17 passes defended, 4 FF and 4 FR

McCoy didn’t break out until 2012 but when he did, he was already keeping pace with Suh. Within a year he already caught up in QB hits and during the last 3 years have been putting catching up in TFL as well. One thing Suh does seem better at is batting passes down.

McCoy has not played that way in a few years.

Neither has Suh. McCoy has had more sacks than Suh since 2012, more QB hits since 2013, and more TFL since 2017.

 

[DerrickB]

Lets just sign McCoy, vice versa.

 

[fdl16]

The guy only put forth any effort once the Rams got to the playoffs last year, which the Bucs won't be sniffing. Glad he'll be lazy on their dime.

 

[RKNSaint]

Ah, he’s all hat no cattle at this point. Not worried.
