    Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Josh Freeman expressed his disappointment with teammates on Wednesday, two days after the third arrest of a Bucs player within the past two months. Asked about the locker room atmosphere as Tampa Bay (8-5) competes for a playoff spot, Freeman took the opportunity to discuss his dissatisfaction. "We're ready to go get it," Freeman said. "We talk a lot about how we need to take care of business off-the-field as well. It doesn't speak well on the type of coach Raheem (Morris) is. "Raheem is a great coach. Everybody has the utmost respect for Raheem and the talk really has been, 'We've got to stop … getting in trouble off-the-field.' That's basically been the only wrinkle." Freeman disagreed when asked if Tampa Bay's conduct issues reflected poorly on Morris' leadership. "I think some people can look at it that way, but honestly the circumstances under which the stuff has occurred, that's all on the player," Freeman said. "His job is to coach us and put us into positions to win football games and he's done just that. When we get done with football, Raheem, you can't expect him to go by everybody's house at a certain hour. "It's the NFL. We have to take a higher level of responsibility on ourselves from college. As team captains, as leaders, I've been stressing that a lot lately."
