I wouldn't say that I'm more bearish on McCoy. I just have not seen enough of his recent play to determine what value he has. So strictly basing it on his stats, the production is not there. If someone can say that they've watched a lot of his play and that he was often commanding double teams, then I will defer to that opinion.

I catch some bucs games occasionally. He is not the player he was, but I do think he could be effective in a rotation andmifht even play better than he has in recent years.

I know the titans and jaguars are looking at us that way. That is how I see NE attacking us. It’s how they are built currently with two young backs. I know everyone is worried about pass rush, but I am kind worried about our lack of size. Can we hang in December in the cold against a team determined to run through the 4th quarter?

Me too, I am very concerned with how light the D is getting.

Eric Foster and Keyunta Dawson think we're getting light too.

Not sure where you fall on the scale of Omaha-to-Sherck in terms of PFF, but FWIW, PFF has him as still solidly above average and as the #28 DT:

For reference, Autry was an above average DT but the #60 DT:

I'm somewhere in between those two concerning PFF's value. Some of their stats can't be disputed, while others just seem like fluff and don't really tell you how good a player is.

I do wonder if PFF or some other site tracks how often a DL is double teamed. I believe that is valuable information and can explain why a players stats may not be what they should be.

That being said, I was happy to see in that article, that McCoy has had some success playing NT for the Bucs, that certainly adds to his value.
