Amobi Okoye questions Greg Schiano’s character

[VinBucFan]

Okoye's comments were childish and transparent sour grapes, but Schiano probably should not have made the comment about his knee. He probably regrets it. Just keep or cut the kid. No need to suggest to the world you are cutting him because he has a chronic knee problem.

I think his comment shows why he isn't here. Schiano isn't the type to embrace a guy who always blames others for his short comings.

Bingo.

I notice all the guys defending Schiano are the same ones who constantly complained about the same exact thing with Gruden.

Marcus Thomas recently went off about his EA Madden picture; maybe I missed something, or didn't see the same picture, but the picture I saw wasn't bad.  Some people just need to have a problem;

In his defense the picture was of a completely different player... And hes been in the league 6 years and its not the first time theyve done it... He asked fairly nicely...

We need more dogs.

First Winslow and now Okoye is calling out Schiano.    People used to say Gruden was disliked, but Schiano seems to be downright hated by the players.

Not too concerned when looking at that population, but I don't think it is ever good for past players to feel the need to take shots as they depart.

Okoye has been a class act his entire career.

Until his career is in jeopardy.  Chicago let him walk because he was't worth a contract with his injury history. He got sent packing from here too.  Not good considering the state of ours DL. 

He'll be on IR soon enough.

So, our college coach can't relate to the modern pro athelete. What a shock!!

Obviously Okoye wasn't afraid to test the knee. He aced the conditioning test in July after the scope in June. Someone should have put him on a rehab schedule, insted of a practice schedule. This is not the players fault. This is mismanagement, and it happens every year. The player does what he is told, and if he's told he "has to earn a spot, what else is he going to do other than overwork the knee, for his own livelihood.

He has to earn a spot? What about Myron Lewis, Quincy Black, Najee Goode, Preston Parker, Arrelious Benn, Keith Tandy and EJ Biggers? None of them earned a spot. Most of them seemed to have lost their spot, or were injured as well.

This is when a coach loses credibility with his players, when there is one standard for the draftees and another standard for the rest of the players. It won't be long at this pace and we will be back to the days when no free agents wanted to come here to play.
Bet.

are you assuming, or have you spoken to a player about this?

You think Schiano is the next Gruden? That's cool!

Wait, a player has (finally) figured out that coaches are lying scum? I mean most coaches are some sort of walking personality disorder to begin with. Remember, we're all one big family...until I cut you for not being a productive player or putting out while hurt. Didn't your family work like that too?

I've been a Bucs fgan for a long time. I'm not assuming anything. I've seen it happen before and this is the exact recipe for it to happen.
