Gerald McCoy cuts a deal with Lovie Smith to play offenseFOX SportsSep 24, 2015 
Kim Klement / USA TODAY SportsDefensive tackle Gerald McCoy is a man of many talents. Apparently, he wants to add "offensive playmaker" as one of those talents. According to JoeBucsFan.com, McCoy has been lobbying to head coach Lovie Smith to give him a chance on the offensive side of the ball.Fortunately for McCoy, Smith is open to the idea. The star DT did tell WDAE-AM 620 that his head coach is making him hit a pretty lofty goal before he gets the chance to catch touchdowns.“I’ve been lobbying to play offense since I got in the NFL, before, you know, J.J. Watt even showed up,” McCoy told JoeBucsFan.com. “Lovie told me I have to get 15 sacks before I can play offense. So I said, ‘Done deal.’“And then he was like, ‘Well, honestly, Gerald, if you get 15 sacks, we’ll let you do anything you want.’ So that’s my goal.”When your head coach tells a player that he'll let him "do anything" if he gets 15 sacks, you better believe that the player is going to be all-out. Should we expect a four-sack performance this week by McCoy? Well, maybe we shouldn't go that far just yet, but he has plenty of motivation to get to the quarterback, as if he didn't already.
