Wait a minute!

Timeout!

Gerald McCoy spent two years playing for Raheem Morris but implied today that Raheem’s teams were more disciplined than Lovie Smith’s.

This is very disturbing.

McCoy addressed losing and penalties after today’s Bucs home loss to the hated Falcons. McCoy, like Joe’s never seen him before, was struggling for words.

“I usually know what to say. At this point, guys. I don’t know. I don’t know anymore. I don’t know. I know we’re going to keep going. I don’t have no answer. I really don’t I’m sorry. “We gotta be more disciplined that that. Penalties can kill you. A lot of the points in the game we were at because of penalties. Very undisciplined team. Very undisciplined team. Probably the worst I’ve ever been on as a collective, as a unit.”

Now Joe never thought Raheem’s teams were that out of control, despite all the chatter. You don’t have a bunch of fourth-quarter comebacks like Raheem’s teams did without a reasonable level of discipline and preparation.

Last year, Greg Schiano’s bumbling Bucs had a truckload of penalties and Schiano couldn’t figure out how to stop them. The toes-on-the-line approach worked in 2012, but crumbled last season on the field.

Today, Lovieball was riddled with screw-ups, 10 penalties for 79 yards, plus penalties declined by the Falcons. As Joe joked during the game, at least Da’Quan Bowers did something — lining up in the neutral zone.

Of course, discipline falls on coaching. No excuses on that one. They surely can’t blame the crowd noise.
