Real sh-t? Real sh-t? Winslow said. Greg Schiano came over there [and said], Toes on the line! Toes on the line! Blowing the whistle. You cant laugh. You cant joke around. So I decided not to go to OTAs.
The Bucs version was/is that they decided that Winslow shouldnt come to OTAs. Either way, it looks like the decision was made, regardless of who made it, based on interactions during Phase 2 of the offseason program. And its likely that Winslows reluctance to embrace the new coaching staff was a factor in the decision, regardless of who made it.
They got my man [Raheem Morris] up out of there, Winslow said. I was loyal to him. Id take a bullet for that dude. So I had to roll, man.
Winslow said Morris wasnt a company coach, but a players coach. They fired the wrong dude up there, Winslow said.
