One thing you can’t accuse the Tampa Bay Buccaneers of is handing out apologies for dirty hits designed to take a star offensive player out of the game. In fact, Bucs defensive tackle Gerald McCoy seems to think that targeting the heads of star players to knock them out of the game is not even dirty. He goes on to say that his team’s not going to stop playing that way.

Here’s some of what the “Sultan of Smack Hits” had to say on JoeBucs.com:

“We’re not a dirty team and we’re not going to slow down. You know, we play on the edge and we’re going to continue to play on the edge. That’s just who we are.”

Even more interesting, he indicates that Tampa Bay isn’t practicing any differently as a result of the commotion started by their “bevy of head-butts”. Here’s what NBC’s PFT dug up:

“During an appearance on WDAE on Wednesday night, McCoy said that the team hasn’t been doing anything differently in practice in order to eliminate the penalties from the game.”

Hmmm… You’d have to wonder if the Tampa Bay coaching staff approves of violent, even dangerous blows to the head wouldn’t you? After all, our Saints analyst Phil Pullin AKA @OlinesRule (USMC retired) feels those plays were coached:

“Once is happenstance, twice is coincidence, three times is enemy action”

It would appear the PFT answered the question for us:

“The Buccaneers have nine sacks through two games, tied for the most in the league, and they’ve held their opponents to 3.4 yards per carry on the ground, a performance that they’d surely like to see continue throughout the regular season. That would explain why defensive tackle Gerald McCoy said that the team isn’t going to change the way they play because of the flags they’ve received this season.”
