"Everybody wants you to be a certain way, and if you aren't what they think you should be then it's not enough," he added. "But as long as everyone in this building cares about each other, and we are enough to each other, that's all that matters."
"Listen,NFL Jerseys From China, ever since I've been drafted to Tampa,NFL Jerseys China, I've been receiving criticism because you've got (Hall of Famer) Lee Roy Selmon and you've got Warren Sapp, and now it's me. I'm supposed to be the next coming of whatever," McCoy said.
McCoy was the third overall pick in the 2010 draft. Despite compiling an impressive personal resume, he has yet to help the Bucs reach the playoffs.
"Sometimes he (has) the inevitable comparisons to Warren Sapp," Koetter said. "But any player that is compared to someone else, I mean, they are not him. He's a different player, and he's a really good football player."
While the 29-year-old insists he's grown accustomed to being criticized by fans and others, he spoke out on Twitter before reporting to training camp this week, noting he's "done holding my tongue."
"He always teaches me to chase the ghosts of the game, so you always have to know who came before you to get to where you want to get," McCoy added. "He is one of only five first-ballot D-tackle Hall-of-Famers, so why wouldn't you look up to him? Why wouldn't he be a parameter.  ... So, I just keep trying to step it up every year."
"Gerald is one of the best in the game, and I think everyone knows that. ... He just consistently shows up," the third-year quarterback said. "So, no matter what people say, actions speak way louder than words."
TAMPA,Jerseys Cheap NFL, Fla. (AP) — Gerald McCoy has been selected to five consecutive Pro Bowls and is generally regarded as one of the best — if not the finest — defensive tackles in the NFL.
He declined to say who his tweets were directed toward, but reiterated he feels much of the criticism is without merit.
Winston agreed.
"I just try and reinvent myself every year. It's hard to do at this position year in and year out, but I do have a parameter," McCoy said, noting Sapp is the standard.
He also feels a bit underappreciated entering his eighth season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers —  unable to escape inevitable comparisons to Hall of Famer Warren Sapp, one of the stars of the franchise's only Super Bowl winner 15 years ago.
The eighth-year pro said other high-profile players on the team, including Jameis Winston, DeSean Jackson, Mike Evans, Doug Martin, are scrutinized by fans and the media, who dissect all facets of their performance.
McCoy said he uses criticism as motivation to get better. Sapp is a close friend and mentor, so he doesn't take offense to being compared to the Hall of Famer.
"Sometimes you've just got to say what you've got to say,Cheap NFL Jerseys China," said McCoy, a first-team All-Pro in 2013 who has 42 1/2 career sacks.

Coach Dirk Koetter said the fact McCoy has been selected to play in the past five Pro Bowl is a good indication of the level respect for the defensive tackle that exists around the NFL.
