Greg Schiano's standing in the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' locker room has taken a hit with how he handled the situation with Josh Freeman.

"Unless we start winning games ASAP, absolutely," an anonymous player on the Buccaneers told Mike Silver.

Freeman was released on Thursday.

"You hear Greg Schiano pleading his case, and it seems a little myopic. They're just trying to show everybody that it's okay that they cut Josh Freeman," Silver said. "There is a sense in that locker room that he over-coaches situational football, that there's a sort of paralysis preparing for one-in-a-million scenarios. That instead of being able to go out there, and play fast, guys are burdened with having to over-think things."
