Gerald McCoy says he's going to kill former teammate Sam Bradford, Tampa Bay Buccaneers defensive tackle Gerald McCoy is targeting his former teammate Sam Bradford this Sunday according to Kathleen Nelson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I'm going to kill him," McCoy said Wednesday. "If I can get to him, I'm going to kill him. We are definitely cool off the field. But on the field, I do not know him. He is No. 8 for the Rams, and that's all I know." McCoy embellished the message, adding that if he sacks Bradford, "I might even do something dirty, like knee him or something. When we get off the field, I'll say, 'Hey, Sam, don't take it personal, man. It was an accident.'" McCoy's ominous-sounding threats Wednesday toward Rams quarterback Sam Bradford need to be put in the proper context and there's a whole lot of context. First, the two have known each other since their days in Oklahoma City's junior football leagues, when they played on different teams but never played each other. "Man, they didn't want none of that," McCoy said jokingly. "They were hiding from us." Second, they formed a strong bond as teammates at Oklahoma, where Bradford won the Heisman Trophy and McCoy was an All-American, with 40 starts, 14 1/2 sacks and 33 tackles for loss. Bradford acknowledged hearing the smack talk and even offered an excuse. "At Oklahoma, he was never allowed to hit me," Bradford said. "So, I think he's got a lot of built-up frustration that he's going to try to take out on Sunday." Source: St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Homer bird cage lining. McCoy was on the local radio station Tuesday (like he does every week) and he said he and Bradford are the best of friends. The I'm going to kill him comment was said jokingly and these dumb asses are trying to stir crap up.
I suspected this was the case. But in all seriousness, it should be #39 he's after considering they are going to run the ball all day long against that 31st ranked rush defence.
Should be an entertaining game, both up and coming teams with some real talent at the QB position. Plus it's the first time the Rams are on British TV since 2007 :icon_cheesygrin:
