Tampa Bay Buccaneers the same way he has all the others.The six-time Pro Bowl selection really doesn’t feel there’s any reason to change because attitude is a big part of his success.“I always try and stay in the rookie mindset Josh Oliver Jersey , always willing to learn more, knowing I can learn more, and just do my best to learn more,” the 29-year-old defensive tackle said.“I’m not Gerald McCoy. I’m No. 93 on a 91-man roster, trying to make the team. Once I make the team, then I’ll be Gerald McCoy. … Until then, I’m just another guy trying to make the team.”It’s not the first time a player of his stature has claimed the same thing, but there’s no disputing the 6-foot-4, 300-pound McCoy’s desire to get better and help the Bucs re-emerge as contenders.Tampa Bay has missed the playoffs the past 10 seasons, the second-longest drought in the NFL behind the Cleveland Browns http://www.jaguarscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-quincy-williams-ii-jersey , who haven’t earned a playoff berth since 2002.McCoy, who has 48½ career sacks and has been selected to play in six consecutive Pro Bowls, was the third overall pick in the 2010 draft.Personal success, however, has been bittersweet.More Tampa Bay Buccaneers newsTitans force 4 turnovers by Winston, hold off Tampa BaySloppy Winston dooms Bucs in 37-26 loss to PanthersBridgewater’s breakout lifts Saints past Bucs 31-24Buccaneers drop Rams 55-40 behind Jameis Winston’s 4 touchdown passesBuccaneers go down to Giants after Daniel Jones rushes for game-winning TDA year ago, Tampa Bay’s defense ranked at or near the bottom of league rankings in several key categories, including passing, total yards and points allowed, as well as sacks and third-down efficiency.General manager Jason Licht and coach Dirk Koetter are counting on the trend changing after upgrading around McCoy with the offseason acquisition of veteran defensive linemen Jason Pierre-Paul Ryquell Armstead Jersey , Beau Allen, Vinny Curry and Mitch Unrein, as well as first-round draft pick Vita Vea.Pierre-Paul had 58½ sacks over the past eight seasons with the New York Giants. Allen and Curry were productive members of a deep defensive line rotation that helped the Philadelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl last winter, while Unrein was part of Denver’s AFC championship team five years ago. Vea was the 12th pick of the draft.Understandably, McCoy is excited.“We brought in four new guys that have all played in a Super Bowl, and three of them have won it. That’s a lot of experience. Guys who know what to do and how to do it �? do it the right way,” the ninth-year pro said.“Just the (defensive line) room overall is different, a lot of experience, and a lot of knowledge. Guys bouncing ideas off of each other, things you’ve never heard before. … It’s only just going to make us great in the long run http://www.jaguarscheapshop.com/cheap-authentic-gardner-minshew-ii-jersey ,” McCoy added. “But, we’ve got a lot of work to do.”Curry, who started every game for the Eagles last season, said the linemen are building chemistry and learning more and more about each other every day in practice.“My biggest thing is I’m telling everyone: winning is contagious,” Curry said.“It’s the National Football League, everybody is good,” Curry added. “It comes down to discipline and how bad do you want it.”McCoy is doing his part, too.In addition to picking the brains of the veteran newcomers, he has been spending extra time after practice helping some of the younger players trying to earn jobs.McCoy recalls the early years of his career, when there weren’t any experienced defensive linemen on the team to take him under their wings.“I can honestly say I had no help. When I say help Marquise Brown Jersey , I mean guidance as far as how to play this (pro) game, at least from a defensive line standpoint,” McCoy said. “I don’t want any D-linemen to come through Tampa, while I’m here, and be able to say that. … I never want guys to have to experience what I did.” Tight end Evan Engram didn’t participate in team drills during the Giants’ mandatory minicamp. But he insists that he could have participated.“Not my choice,” Engram said Saturday, via Ryan Dunleavy of NJ.com. “One hundred percent.”Engram has an unspecified injury, but it apparently won’t be an issue when training camp rolls around.“I’m good,” Engram said. “I’m just being smart. I don’t really need anything crazy right now. I’m still just trying to be healthy for the summer and be ready for camp.”Dunleavy notes that Engram participated in OTAs the preceded the mandatory event. The Giants have one more week of voluntary practices before shutting things down until July 24.“Just the Giants being a little precautious,�? Engram said. “Since Day One http://www.ravensfootballauthentics.com/jaylon-ferguson-jersey-authentic , anything, they are going to be smart with, especially in the offseason.”A first-round pick in 2017, Engram missed five games last season due to injury. His production dipped from 722 receiving yards and six touchdowns as a rookie to 577 and three last year.As New York tries to replace the production lost as a result of receiver Odell Beckham Jr.’s trade to Cleveland, Engram could become a key contributor — especially if the Giants become committed to an offensive philosophy that focuses on heavy doses of running back Saquon Barkley that can set up play-action passes. With a chip block and a delayed release from the line of scrimmage, Engram could find plenty of openings vacated by zealous defenders trying to bottle up Barkley, the NFL’s offensive rookie of the year in 2018.
