On Special Teams coach Rich Bisaccia

"What he's done around here is the same thing he's done since '02 - coach with enthusiasm, coach with passion and get his guys to play like that," Morris said. "You think I tell the truth too much? Wait until Bisaccia's a head coach and he starts telling people what he thinks. It will be a doozy."

Being critical of the personnel

"I know you think I tore them down," Morris said, "but I really didn't. We just like to speak frank. It was an opportunity for me to let those guys know (that) outside influences are going to try to tear us down. But we have to stay together and try to talk to each other frankly. That's what we've done. We criticize ourselves. We criticize each other. We have no problem."

Young guys getting experience

Defensive lineman stopping the run

"We are just not made right now to knock people back. That's just not how we are cut"
From Pewter Report

On the unsportsmanlike penalty

"This loss is solely on me," Morris said. "End of the half to get a personal foul as a head coach is unacceptable. I'm taking those points. It's on me. That's how much we lost by. I should be getting all the blame for that.
"That was a discipline issue on my part. I didn't do the right thing. That's a great lesson for me as a young coach and a great lesson to my team."

On Josh Freeman

"The mistakes he made you don't want to see him make again. At least you want to see him make new mistakes."
From Pewter Report

On the dress code

"You make them come to the game looking the right way," Morris said. "Make them look like winners. … There was a presence. You look good, you feel good, you play good. The old Deion (Sanders) deal."
From tampabay.com
That's not a photoshop. Deion really owns a creamsicle suit.

Giving credit for the win

"Obviously, it's not about me. It's about us. It's about everyone that's a part of this. It's about the organization from the top to the bottom, everybody's included. Everyone worked hard for this. I got just as hard of a hand slap from Danny the ground guy to general manager Mark Dominik to ownership. It doesn't matter where you are in the building."
From Pewter Report

On the Win

"Obviously a much better day today. We went out there and won. A great start to how we want to be, how we want to look, how we want to play. These guys played passionate. I don't have the official stats. Stats are for losers and this week we're winners."
From Pewter Report

On Kyle Moore returning from injury

"It's been really hard for me to keep a helmet off of him,"
"He's pushing my buttons every week, and he'll push it again this week."
From tampabay.com
Here we see a rare glimpse of him with his helmet off.

It's all part of the plan

"The plan, bringing [Freeman] in here was to let him sit behind the veteran," said Morris last weekend. "Hopefully the veteran gets you a bunch of wins, but that didn't happen."

Lifeline

"I also talked to my offense today, challenged those guys about their demeanor in practice and how they're doing and how they finish,'' Morris said. "They've got to be the lifeline a little bit and I'm asking them to be."

The Haunting of One Buc Place

“You start looking at your longest losing streak, it will continue to be a streak,’’ Morris said. “It will continue to be something that haunts your football team..."

Misery loves company

“Embarrassment would be your word,’’ Morris said. “There's never a sense of embarrassment. The only thing we do … I'm not interested in sharing misery with anybody else in the league. I'm not interested in who else doesn't have a win, I'm interested in getting our own win. That's our job, that's what we have to do. We're responsible to go out and win every day. I'm not interested in sharing anything with the Rams, with the Titans, whoever else is. That's not my job. Our job is to go out and get our first victory. That's the only thing you can look at.’’

On his relationshiop with Aqib Talib

"We swear to each other every day," said Morris. "I wouldn't call it a disrespect. The swear words that's talk on the football field. We do that all the time. We swear to them on the field talking about a play, and how we can do it better. It is just a form of communication of some sort."
From Pewter Report

On Freeman and his practice reps

"He was always practicing as No. 2 even when he was listed as No. 3 on game day. So he's been a No. 2 practicing for a while and now he's practicing as No. 1 so he's getting the majority of the reps."
From scout.com
Okay, got all that? Clear as mud you say? Okay, good.

Doesn't start yesterday

"...going 0-7 doesn’t start yesterday. It didn’t start at the beginning of the season when we played Dallas. It started in weight training, it started in OTA days, it started in training camp. Everything we’ve done to this point is who we are. These guys are holding up, but we’ve got to do more than hold up. We’re not in here to hold up. Holding up gets you to 0-7. We’re here to fight through, we’re here to power through, we’re here to be our best selves. We’re not about holding up.”

♫ Bye, bye, bye ♫

"The bye week never comes at a good time when you don't have a win."
"The bye week is always good to get a little healthier, to get a little better, to get more in shape, but right now it makes Sunday just as miserable as it was last week for us."

BONUS: Classic John McKay quote

“They kicked the living hell out of us and we stood there and took it. If we play like that we’ll never win a another game. We’re going to make some changes. You can only make so many because you only have 45 people.”
From tampabayfootball.net
Wednesday's tend to be a slow day so I'll try to post a classic quote from a former Bucs coach.

On players slipping on the Wembley turf

"The Patriots slipped as well. They slipped to 35 points and we slipped to 7 and gave up 35 and two interceptions."
From Pewter Report
♫ Don't get caught slippin' ♫

Number Five is Alive

"Number five."
From heraldtribune.com
After the Patriots scored their fifth touchdown, Morris went to the bat phone and conferred with Mark Dominik. He then turned to Coach Olson and held up five fingers indicating it was time to put Josh Freeman in the game.

On the Patriots

Morris says the Patriots have many assets, including "their head coach, their quarterback, their receiving corps, their defense. Everything about the New England Patriots is a great model to follow."
From AP (via Google News)

BONUS: John Fox quote, on Stroughter's kickoff return for a TD

"We had some new guys out there."
From gastongazette.com
After a loss, coaches routinely say, "I'm not going to make excuses." Apparently Coach Fox has no problem making excuses.
Again, it's another opposing coach quote, but this one was also too good to pass up. 

Missing Pieces

"It has to come in pieces. Everything is built in pieces. Right now, we're building the character of young men. We're building a team … . Now that's no excuse for losing. We're still responsible for winning and we still want to win. We still want to win every single week."
"In the process, it would be nice to win a bunch of these games on our way to the top."
From tbo.com

Character

"Losing does not build character. It reveals character,"
From tbo.com
I think I've heard others coaches say this, so I'm not implying that Raheem made this up. It's just a cool quote.

On the critics

"I'm glad they are (criticizing). It's only going to make it sweeter in the end. Once you start reading that stuff, you get caught up and start believing it. You get mentally weak and you get soft. You get less violent. We're not going to do that."
