Free has been thrownin late to a lot more players than just Kellen. Let’s all not just look at the easy answer and bash Kellen for his crappy attitude. Free hasn’t played all that good this preseason and season. Sunday he did, but still threw 4-5 passes late.

K2 overheard Josh say “Graham…now there is one bad @#% TE! Wish I had a guy that tall with good hands and two good knees that I could actually throw balls to on Wednesdays.” Kellen was more than a little pissed…

QB’s and their receivers get into it every now and then. Teammates get into it every now and then. Anyone who has played sports competitively knows this. This is not a problem. Good players always want the ball. That competitiveness is what makes them good. It’s not going to affect Freeman one bit.

The one thing that does get kind of irritating about Winslow is that every time he gets tackled, he gets into it with the defender. I mean every single time! He could attempt to break a tackle every now and then – that way he wouldn’t have to get so mad at the defender for doing his job.

@tj,
Winslow misses practices as a coaches decision.

“KW was upset that he was just used as a fill-in for “number 69 is an eligible receiver”

Winslow is a diva he miss practices . I went to the bengals game and saw how the whole team was together minus winslow. Is he worth it he is a top five paid te . He throws fits after every tackle the bucs are a team not a one man army

So many of you are so quick to jump on a guy. ON incident and you all are calling K2 a whiny and a quitter on routes, etc…

SERIOUSLY!?!?!?!??

There has been absolutely NOTHING bu positive stuff said about him by the coaches, Freeman, the WRs and other TEs since the day he has gotten here.

Lighten up people and stop trying to run someone out of town when one little thing happens. It really is ridiculous.

@Architek — The main reason I read Joe is because he won’t ignore stuff the outher sources do all the time. This issue was front and center on the TV broadcast. How could anyone ignore it?

Architek:

Joe this is just messy, really? Cmon, you don’t read about this at any other source

Not so. Tim Brando was Twittering about this during the game and totally blasting K2.

I have heard nothing but positives about K2 since the day he joined the Bucs, so I will NOT say anything bad.

As far as speculation of what was said, this is all a guess but I think Winslow was open at first and was screaming for a quick snap.
Freeman did not do it and K2 told him about it.
He should NOT have looked upset on the field after a TD, but I understand being upset about Freeman not doing an audible. He should have, especially since he has had his decision making come into question this year and has struggled a little bit.

Basically, I just see K2 trying to explain to him why he should have done something and, in the end, it worked out the other way with Parker so the point is kind of getting lost.

Architek, while you’re probably right about the “better left unsaid” category…. It is apparent that Winslow is struggling and frustrated. He’s always covered, and unable to make the catch… and when he’s open (on that extremely rare occasion)… Freeman has been badly off target, because of the rush, or sometimes simply a bad throw.

Seeing this particular dynamic of our team… (who had the lead, at the time).. was a little disappointing and showed immaturity on Winslow’s part, because he’s supposed to be the “vetran” on the youngest team in the league.

…I liked seeing Blount “up in his face” to remind him, this is a team game. I thought it was awesome, to see him acting as an enforcer for Freeman…

If I were the OC, he’d have been used as a decoy the rest of the game.. competetive spirit or not, his ego needs to take a back seat to the success of the team.
