Something or someone set off Gerald McCoy.
The Tampa Bay Bucs defensive tackle took to Twitter Monday morning to express himself.
They won't appreciate you until you're gone. Soon enough though. Then we'll see.

You try and try with people but they don't get it. They push you and push you until you cross that line. Well line crossed!!

What provoked McCoy is unclear.
Earlier this offseason, McCoy vowed to change his approach to the game after conversations with others at the Pro Bowl.
"My approach to everything will be different," he said in April. "The media. My workouts. Practice. The meeting room. Games. Something has to change."
