We were at the game on Saturday night...it was stupid how dominate GMC was...he was in the backfield all night long
He is poised to have a DPOY type of campaign this season
Gerald McCoy (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/108402/gerald-mccoy) is ridiculous.
The Buccaneers' franchise player posted an 8.2 grade on 19 snaps.
Eight point two. On nineteen snaps.
To put that into perspective, over the course of the entire 2013 preseason, only one defensive tackle (Geno Atkins (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/108655/geno-atkins)) posted a grade higher than 8.2, and it took him over 70 snaps to do so. PFF grades are cumulative, which means McCoy racked up positive marks at a ridiculous pace on Saturday night.
For more perspective: McCoy's 19 snaps finished with a better grade than Haloti Ngata (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/1415/haloti-ngata), Paul Soliai (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/16760/paul-soliai), and Linval Joseph (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/108661/linval-joseph) earned over the entire season last year. He put in a season's worth of positive work in a quarter of a preseason game.
Gerald McCoy (http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/players/245789/gerald-mccoy) played the best 19 snaps you'll likely see from an interior D-Lineman. Sack, hit, hurry, batted pass, and an absurd +8.2 grade

McCoy is a dominant player, and a true game-changer on defense. Teams have to scheme to stop him, or he'll simply stop every run and pass play before it starts.
