When asked about the local TV blackout

"My job is winning. Winning is my only business," said Morris. "That's really what I have to be concerned with. That's going out and playing the Cleveland Browns this week."

When asked about preparing for the Browns and Jake Delhomme

"You got to know that he knows that you know that he knows."

When asked for a response to Sabby's claim that there was never a competition

“I don’t have to [respond], and that’s unfortunate for him. That’s probably why he didn’t get it. Generally you go out there and do your very best. That’s the thing to do, so that’s Sabby’s problem."
 
"No there is no such thing as an unhappy player. The only the person that’s going to be unhappy here is me. His job is to make us happy,” said Morris. “He’s got to do his job. That’s the nature of the beast. That’s how the NFL works.”

On Derrick Ward

“In ‘09 we weren’t a very good football team. We weren’t a very good organized football team as far as our running game. We all struggled. He was a guy that was a part of it. He went out there and he probably didn’t get the holes that he wanted. Whatever the reasons were – nobody cares. It is your job to go out there and get it done"

On Kareem Huggins

"He's a classic example of an angry worker," Morris said. "He went to Hofstra, he's from Irvington (N.J.), they shut down his football program. He (thinks he) should have gone to Rutgers, he should have gotten drafted. None of that stuff happened. He had to come to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers by video YouTube."

On Donald Penn

"It's awesome," Coach Raheem Morris said. "The best thing you can say about a left tackle is nothing, and that's what's really been said."

Keep 'em coming, coach. Thank you for reminding why I started this blog.

Youth is Wasted on the Young

"You will never hear me use youth as an excuse," said Morris. "I don't like to talk about youth. I don't like to do that. I won't do that."

All Kinds of Heart

"When you talk about Cadillac, you're talking right between the rib cage," Bucs coach Raheem Morris says. "You're talking about a guy who has all kinds of heart. He's just a different animal. On game day, he's going to give you every single thing he's got."

...and wins too, maybe.

For the love of ...

"The support is not going to come from the average fan. The support is going to come from the Buccaneer lover," Morris said. "The 3-13 will help us thrive. The 3-13 is what's going to make us. The 3-13 is what we're going to look at, set examples for, and go out and really punish people for it."

This is as good a quote as any to start the season with. By the sound of it, we're in for another great season of awesome quotes.

Today, a quote from Josh Freeman

"The thing that all great quarterbacks have is their work ethic. You only have a short life span in the NFL. I don't want to be the guy who is sitting back in 30 years saying, 'Man, if I had only worked a little harder, studied a little more film, done a few more offseason workouts, I would have been better prepared.' I want to be the guy who says, 'I laid it all on the line. I gave it all I had.' Then I'll be able to sleep at night."

Great article by The St Pete Times' Gary Shelton. 
I have to thank Joebucsfan.com for pointing it out.

In Business for Small Business

"It's not Sam's Club. The mistake people make is that they see unrestricted free agents and then they see the restricted free agents, and they think it's the pick of the litter"

Light Years

"We really have the ability this year ... to tell you with straight faces, that we're light-years ahead of where we were last year, just based on knowledge, based on what we've been able to partake, our own film study, our own tape, our own reports — all those things that are critical,"

Antonio Bryant is just too old

"Antonio missed a lot of time last year and I'm not trying to blame Antonio but really, right now, we're going in a young direction. We're going to choose to move on."

Gaines Adams Passes Away

"Gaines will be missed by all of us, especially by his teammates in our locker room. He was a true team player and a positive influence to everyone he met. My prayers go out to his family."

On his future with the team

"I stand here and coach until I go. My mom and my pops were both laid off when I was 13 years old and nobody told them that they weren't going to get fired. That's just the reality of the world we live in. You deal with it. You do your job. This game is not for everybody. If I'm sitting around worried about getting fired then I've got my own issues. I'm not. I'm very confident in what I do."

Geno Hayes missed the bus

"He missed the bus," Bucs head coach Raheem Morris said. "We went back and got him. The time zone got him."

On Bill Cowher

"I have a great relationship with my owners," Morris said in his post-game press conference. "The thing I know about those guys is they didn't hire me last year in a meeting. The thing I know about these guys is I've had a seven-year relationship with them. They interviewed me for seven years, and I've been around these guys. So, I'm pretty sure if I was getting popped, fired or whatever you want to call it, my owners would come tell me like men because that's who they are and that's what they want to be. I'm sure Bill Cowher [wants this job]. Everybody wants this job - it's the best in football. I want it, too."
